Best Answer

It allows the transmission to be HELD in one gear, longer than normal. Once you release the HOLD button the trans will shift normally. A HOLD button, keeps the transmission either in a gear or in a range of gears, according to a moderately complicated algorithm which "lets you shift for yourself."

What is the hold light on a 1998 Kia Sportage?

You have two lights on dashboard which are linked to your auto transmission, 1. POWER which will hold the gears for a longer period during going up in gears for higher accelaration, and 2. HOLD when climbing hills or overtaking the hold button will drop down a gear and maintain that gear until button is released, just helps to maintain gear and accelaration instead of the gear dropping halfway through overtaking or climbing. Both of these buttons are on your shifter, Hold, on side of shifter at top and Power will be a button left hand side of base plate. Hope this helps, Iain.
