Partial slip (or partial lock-up) is where the a small amount of slip for a short period of time (a couple of seconds) it enabled to improve percieved throttle response at low RPM without having to downshift. i.e. if you are cruising at 30 mph in 4th at ~ 1,500 rpm and increase throttle, it would allow the revs to rise by 200-300 immediately this helps spin the turbo up faster.
I've been trying to find an article to link to to explain it but without success. I think it was only on those cars that don't have a sport mode enabled by shifting the gearlever left - my '08 XC70 did it but my 15 XC60 doesn't seem to.
