It changes the AT's internal shift program from "economy" to "sport,"
which upshifts at full rpm for maximum acceleration. I use it when
leaving toll booths.
BTW, if there is a snowflake button at the base of the shifter, it will
start you out in 2nd gear to avoid wheelspin on ice--sort of the
opposite of the 'S' button.
