What does this button do?

In the center console, there is a button labeled "M" (just above the button labeled "A" that turns Eco-Start on and off). I can't figure out what this button does; can't find any mention of it in the owner's manual. Pressing it doesn't seem to do anything either. Maybe it's for a package that my car doesn't have? I have the Command System with navigation and Parking Assist but don't think this button has anything to do with either one. Does anyone know what this "M" button does?

Turns on the manual shift mode to use the paddles to change gears.

Thanks for clearing that up for me! Does any sort of corresponding icon appear on the dashboard?

That "M" button seems superfluous IMO. Simply tapping the paddles will put it into manual mode. At least I think so. Will have to try it tomorrow.
