Hello, I got a silver auto Celica '95 (hatchback)
I have the same buttons you mention - These also exist in my RAV4

So,
the overdrive you all know what it does it's thoroughly explained in another topic. Now about manual and power.

For manual: Switch it on when you're parked and shift to L. By having MANU enabled L, 2 and D act like 1,2 and 3rd gear. So you launch the car with L and push the stick to 2 when you want and again to D. It will NOT shift unless you push the stick

For power: It just makes the car gruntier and all. More responsive throttle control and all that. For the sportiest possible behavior switch on ECTS-PWR and turn off your overdrive Not gas-mileage friendly but it gets much faster and sportier

Dont forget to use the kick-down future. Pedal to the medal and it will give you quite a push

P.s. forgive me for bringing life to a dead topic but I was searching for more details on these 2 modes I hope this helps.
