    I believe it's intended use is when you are in some gnarly stuff, in 4 Lo, and you need to start off on a hill and don't want to fight the clutch. You can just hold the brake, push the button, get rolling and keep rolling once the engine fires up. Being in Lo range greatly reduces the torque required by the starter to get the truck moving.

    I also use it when I want to start the truck and am too dirty to hop in and press the clutch.
