Where is this button? Look at it carefully. Does it actually say EAT?
This switches between a "power" and "economy" mode, depending on whether you might be towing something, for example. It is normally on E.
This changes the point at which the automatic transmission shifts. With "power" enabled the van will shift at a higher RPM.
The power e-at button control's the transmission shifting pattern power or economy Hank
E-AT. Electronic Automatic Transmission. Usually turned off for normal driving. However, you may want to turn it on when driving in steeper hilly areas (Pittsburgh comes to mind). Engaging this system tells the computer to allow the transmission to shift at a lower engine speed thereby helping to maintain better power for climbing hills.
On my 1995 Mercury Villager the button in question (labled Power EAT in my van) alters the shift points to higher speed settings for more power to help out with situations like towing a heavier trailer. EAT simply stands for Electronic Automatic Transmission; the labeling has always been somewhat of a mystery. The best explanation is that the transmission is electronically controlled for shifting rather than the old speed vacuum control methods and this switch allows for easy reprogramming of the shift points to avoid constant up - down shifts that would result from the standard economy oriented settings.

this buton is to change torque ratio for heavy passenger loads (like carry 7 adults) this will give you better take off speeds and worse gas mileage. This is only for intown driving, has no effect on hwy driving.
