change gearbox shifting map...economy=loose shift...

power=tight shift (can feels the jerking of gear shift more)

In some modern cars. the power/economy button is just a throttle controller. Slower for economy and max for power. For the wira 1.6 I guess it's just a map, but I didn't know the 1.6 auto had a TCU. If it does then earlier gear changes is possible but if it doesn't have a TCU, how is it changing the gears earlier or later depending on a button?

yep it does have TCU (explaining the eco/power button and "o/d off" button)
