hi all could anyone tell me what the switch is on the left hand side of the auto shift lever, its got a snow flake on it, thanks

think its for pulling away in snow and ice to reduce tyre slip , but im sure someone with an auto can confirm.

thanks very much for the info

It basically locks the box up in 3rd to allow pulling away when you have reduced traction as Gaz said above .

Yep as said,
It is the snow / ice button for driving in slippery conditions

Also as said, it makes the auto box lock in 3rd gear to reduce wheel-spin on taking up drive from standstill.

lol i must admit, it does sound fairly odd, but having an auto myself, i'm obviously not surprised.
