The button you are referring to allows you to disengage the auto box from P (park) to N (neutral) or reverse or any low ratio gears without having to start the engine, usefull if you have to move the vehicle for any reason without starting up, e.g. when working on the engine etc. HTH.

While discussing the purchase of a suitable Townace, I asked the dealer about the small red switch alongside the auto gear-stick gate. There was no answer. The machine is so full of goodies, i'd like to benefit from this as well.

What can anyone tell me, please?

You don't want to use that... it's the ejector seat. No, but seriously. It's a release for the auto- stick if it's interlock solenoid (wired to brakelights) fails.
