Default Ect-pow

Reading back through the old posts I noticed ECT-POW. I have it on mine. What exactly does it do & how? i.e- Does it boost power? Is it ecconomical? When should I use it if ever?

Pops is right, great at really busy roundabouts but economical it is not, stands for electronically controlled transmission (or something similar) i believe it is also good for going up / down hills whilst towing.
