Going down a hill in snow, when you want the car to slow itself down without using brakes for fear of sliding...or if you're offroading and down't want it to upshift if you gun it suddenly on a flat spot or right before a hill. savvy?

It just prevents the tranmission from shifting into a higher gear than what's selected. I never knew what good it was either till snow driving :P. Also it's good if your pulling something in 4wd LO I think.
