2scoobiesowner Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Hi... purchased 09MY Forester 2.5 XTen auto a few weeks ago (to keep my wrx company) really pleased with it !! BUT can anybody explain what the (?) rocker switch does - that is next to the auto gear selector stick with POWER A/T HOLD written on it please ?? I am frightened to death to play with it (never owned an auto before in over 45 years of car ownership) also the gear selector stick has a gate that goes off to the left of the normal selections that has + and - ........ any help would be great LOL thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david1972 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 The power button holds it in gear longer before changing up. The hold button keeps it in the selected gear Slide the stick to the left and you are effectively putting the car in manual mode and you change up and down the gears by pushing the lever forwards or backwards [emoji106] Welcome aboard Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay762 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Wotcha and welcome - the hold button is useful in really slippery conditions - holds it in gear and stops changing up through wheel spin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
