The transmission is very smooth shifting as well and has a "hold" feature that gives some degree of manual control. I've found it to be really useless to be honest. It does not give truly manual control of the transmission as it should. If left in D the only thing it does is to start the car off in 2nd and shifts as usual up to 4th. With the "hold" feature activated it does not downshift automatically for engine braking as per the normal mode. That's about it. I say leave it in normal mode unless on loose gravel or you want to be miserly and save some fuel by starting off in 2nd.

What is the hold light on the dash of the 2002 Kia Sportage?

http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=416844 I have a 1999 Kia Sportage and there is a HOLD button on the automatic shifter and it controls the transmission shifting for slippery or wet conditions. The manual says the HOLD will shift more smoothly for slippery conditions so that you don't loose traction. For practical purposes though, if you press the HOLD button while driving down the road the transmission will shift into the "Passing" gear and remain there until you slow down or release the HOLD button. I use the HOLD button when I want to control the shifting on corners and maintain higher RPM's on the engine. At speed on the expressway the HOLD button will shift down into the passing gear and this is nice on hills. Then when you want to unshift, release the HOLD button.
