Sport means that you get quicker kick down and it holds the revs for longer, winter means it starts off in second and changes up at low revs to keep wheel spin down to a minimum.

power drive raises the engine speed at which the upshift and downshift take place. Winter mode can be activated at 7mph or less. Place the lever in D . N , R , and P position, then push the winter button. The winter light will be iluminated whenever the winter mode is activated, and the vehicle will pull away in 3rd gear.
Winter mode is deactivated when the speed reaches 21 mph.

The winter button is the one clesest to the gear lever.
I dont find the power button makes much difference, you still red line the car in any gear while in drive, it may just take a moment more to kick down.

I need to get out more Laughing

Doesn't the sun come out when you press 'Summer' button, & it snow when you press the 'Winter' button?
