[HB211]

hi,,

Guys, i have recently bought a Toyota Carina 211 Si My Road(Auto). It has 2 buttons, called "Power & Manual" right next to the gear shift. Does anyone know what these buttons do & how do they function???

Thank you :)

Pressing "Manual" -> Starting gear will be 2nd

Pressing "Power" -> Car will be in sporty mode. More performance. Less economy.

Just try those. No harm...

This doesn't sound me right.Uditha please explain why do they call "manual" for just starting from 2nd? Is there something manual to be called "manual".Isn't it?

Or just wrong /misleading nomenclature?

Ya. By "Manual" what it means is u force the transmission to behave other than it normally does.

U going to give a start in 2nd & also note that it'll cut down the last(4th)- gear in many systems.
