It changes the settings of the automatic gearbox. One is economy, one is sport, and I belive the final is manual shift.

Sport hold gears longer so that the engine revs higher before chaging. Economy is sometimes labelled "snow" as it changes earlier and less dramatically which is good for economy and slippery conditions.
