The hold button is on the right hand side of the gear lever .. (if the HOLD light flashes without reason then it indicates a gearbox fault) ..

Loosely speaking it puts the box into a mild ' sports mode' .. but it serves several purposes .. from extra engine braking in ice / hilly conditions .. hangs onto lower gear changes when towing .. extra acceleration .. knocks the 'overdrive off .........
