We've a waggon with an auto box

Sports Mode/Power Button is just below the usual gear shift button.

Snow Hold is a seperate button behind the gear shift towards the hand break.

Mrs Big Pete's just had our owners manual out and there is NOTHING in it relating to this button. Even tho there are pix of it

I think it is an ejector seat button for the passenger seat

To stop kids/dogs "launching" the car whilst you are stoopid enough to leave the engine running and walk away ?

Its so you can take it out of park without having to have the ignition on and your foot on the brake... say if the battery dies and you need to tow it then you press that button and you can put it in neutral

Try it with the ignition off and you'll see it just takes the park lock off, most autos have them some where.
