In some modern cars. the power/economy button is just a throttle controller. Slower for economy and max for power. For the wira 1.6 I guess it's just a map, but I didn't know the 1.6 auto had a TCU. If it does then earlier gear changes is possible but if it doesn't have a TCU, how is it changing the gears earlier or later depending on a button?
