It increases the revs at idle when the engine is cold to help it warm up quicker.

Also note that if the ambient temperature isn't cold enough then the switch is automatically disabled.Dave

It's probably meant for extremely cold areas, sub zero, I don't ever use mine.
It cancels automatically once the temp rises.

It's for European climates. Apparently it only works below about 10 degrees, and is meant to warm your engine up faster.[SIZE=2]120 GXL D4D Auto, with a 'List of Wants' greater than the 'List of Needs' greater than the 'List of Haves'

If only some one could sort out that idea, it would be great. Pain in the butt to winch, throttle and watch what is going on all at the same time.
This probably the easiest method I've heard of to get it working though.. Easy Idle up switch post #6
