ECT= Electronically controlled Transmission. NO you don't want it on for towing, all it does is stretch out the gear ratios for a little extra performance. i.e. If your car usually changes up a gear at say, 3000 rpm then with this button switched on you would change up a gear at 3800-4000 RPM (figures just a guide) It just gives a bit more acceleration.
