As I understand it (and from what I've observed) the hold button only affects 1st and 2nd gears. The whole purpose of it is to be able to lock the A/T into either gear for things like driving on ice and snow, where you don't want it to slip into a higher gear when your wheels are spinning.Originally Posted by thehunterooo
That's about all it was meant to do, and that's about all it is good for.
