The 89 Camry V6 my friend drove had two buttons.

* Sport: On the console, it raised the shift point from about 4500 rpm to 6000 rpm.
* Overdrive Lockout: On the shift lever, it kept the transmission from shifting into 4th gear.

Power ECT buttons or whatever? Usually mapped the shift points to be more aggressive.

Could be electronic controls for setting shift points on an automatic.
