The question
The panel that has the buttons for drive, parking and reverse also has a button that says “m” - what is the m for?

Hi Neil,
You've not told us which car you are referring to, but we suspect it's a Stellantis one with an automatic gearbox. The "m" in that case would allow the driver to select a manual gearchanging mode and they change gears via paddles behind the steering wheel.
