Not sure about the mr2 auto, but had a vauxhall calibra 2.5 v6. That had an auto box with two buttons. One was a sport mode allowing higher rpm gear changes. The other was for icy weather, making the car more tame.
I would think your 3 buttons would include these features?

MANU - Manual, you have to shift through the gears, so if you stop with it in second and go to pull away it won't change down to first.

PWR - Power enables the engine to rev to the redline before changing up a gear. It'll hold the same gear longer before shifting up.

Red button - is so that if you turn it off with it in drive or 1 or 2, you can get it to neutral or park to enable you to start it.

HTH :D
