  overdrive the gear can't go up to 4th for the altis automatic. so it's to give the car more power.. but seldom use one. altis still got another button near the foglight button can allow the car to rev at higher rpm at lower gears...so also more power... but u will see ur fuel gauge come down very fast!

  hi guys,
  
  altis driver here too. when u use the ECT button, try to activate the button when ur car is stationary. So when u accelerate, u can feel the fast pick up!! good feeling...but of coz drain ur fuel!!
