it allows u to reach a higher rpm in a shorter time... so that u can gain speed faster.. if u want to overtake a car or bid traffic light.... but not advisable to use it for normal driving..

It's like the "O/D" (Over Drive) mode.
Overtaking car is shiok , strong with power!!! Unbeatable!! I tried it a few times, very pwerful.

For our sedan ride only have O/D button....tried it once and its nice feeling to floor it w/o gear changing to 4...very easy to overtake but think 'drink' quite alot of petrol... :w00t:

FYI, "O/D" is for 4AT tranny; "SPORT" is for CVT tranny... So Sedan with 4AT & Base Sport with 4AT comes with "O/D"; Sedan Premium and Sport with CVT comes with "SPORT".
Hope this clarifies...

Yup initially did not understand why the sedan premium CVT has "sport" while my ride only O/D...anyway the effect between O/D on 4AT & "Sport" on CVT similar rite? Just curious but any bro/sis tried the difference?  :confused1:
