Question Extra Power Button

There's the Extra Power Button on my '87 camry, it works and all, my question is; What exactly happens to your engine and such when you activate the extra power button vs just running normal?

It's mainly used for towing. When engaged it changes the shift points in the tranny; basically stays in gear a bit longer before shifting.

With such a small car, is it even capable of towing (mountain terrain).

LOL probably not, but it's what it's mainly used for or if you need some extra "umph" getting on the freeway.
