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.

What does it mean when the PWR light is showing on the dash on a 2002 Kia Sportage?
I have a 2000 Kia Sportage and when the hold button is flashing, the transmission is locked in low, by the gear shift is a button that says, hold, some how it got pushed, you might have a button on the dash that says, power and economy, I read in the manual that it should be in economy for every day driving, if you are towing something, you can use power, and the hold, it lets the transmission, pull harder, and doesn't shift as fast.

The hold light comes on when you accidentally hit the hold button on the transmission shifter.

So, go to a junk yard ,take the one out of your car with you to match up the numbers written on the box.
