How to adjust the idle on an 1987 Toyota MR2?

What is the ECT button for in the 1987 automatic toyota MR2?

I rencently bought a 1987 Toyota MR2 with an automatic transmision, and close to the dashboard there is a button with ECT written on it, does someone knows what is the function of this button? Thank you!
Answer:

My first car was a 1987 MR2 automatic. It stands for electronic controlled transmission. With it on the car will stay in the lower gears longer, allowing you to get more pull from the engine by changing when it shifts (keeps it in lower gears to a higher rpm.) That being said, don't let someone else test drive your MR2 with it on. If they floor it, it can easily get to 70 in second gear, at about 7500 rpms. Enjoy your car!

I had an ETC button on a 97 Rav4. It changed the shift points, allowing a gear to hold on to higher rpms and make more power w/o having to mash the gas pedal.
