Yo, I notice you're new, so welcome to the forum, but please turn off your caps!

You can use the search button because this topic has been covered, but since you're new, I won't give you too much **** about it.

That switch changes the transmission mode from Sport (S) to Winter (W)

Wintermode starts the car in 2nd gear to prevent wheelspin, and also delays downshifting as well as upshifting earlier.
