    What does this switch do

    I have two questions (as my new vehicle did not come with the manual)
    1- What does this switch do
    2- How does it do it (what does it mechanically/electrically) do ?
    Thanks in advance.

    It locks out first gear in the transmission... So when you take off from a standing start you take off in 2nd gear to help with traction.

    Thanks Softy. Never heard of that before. I will have to give it a try next snow trip (and maybe next slippery hill). Cheers.

    It actually uses first gear from a standing start but limits engine output then changes to 5th gear
