When I read the title of this thread, I knew exacltly what button you were gonna ask about hahaha.

SGS = Second Gear Start. Its for wet weather conditions, it'll put the tranny in second gear to reduce slippage for better traction. I used mine a few times and it got stuck once, I have heard a few other people having problems with it too.

For clarrification, when I said "it got stuck once" I mean the tranny was stuck in 2nd gear....not cool.

no wonder why I look at that empty space for a button and wonder what it was, wasn't sure if it was traction control or something, now I know! ive seen pics that say SGS, always thought it was traction control
