When you do not want the transmission constantly 'hunting' between gears.

E.g. towing uphill, going downhill especially on traction-compromised surfaces (sand, loose gravel, etc.)

read sa manual the hold button is used only when the gear lever is stuck. Lets say in park when you press the button on the side and it wont move you press the hold button to release the locking mechanism to move to R or D

HOLD will tell your a/t to upshift as soon as possible, so that you do not rev too much.

please try to do a search, this has been answered na in the past.

thanks po. so i guess it should be more economical when driving in highway with hold mode since i will not revving that much. tama po ba.

Nope. Standard configuration is still the most economical. Just keep the O/D on so that you can utilize fourth gear. With O/D off, hanggang 3rd gear ka lang.

pasingit lang

my gen2 A/T JDM pajero doesnt have a hold button... anyway cruising at highway, only till it reaches 65kph does it upshift to fourth, now dos this mean that if i can activate the hold button, i would upshift to fourth gear earlier than 65kph???

tia!
