BMW central console buttons

1. Top Button (ESP/Antislip OFF): This button, marked with a car icon skidding and "OFF", is used to deactivate or manage the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) or Electronic Stability Program (ESP), which helps maintain vehicle stability during adverse driving conditions by reducing engine power and selectively applying brakes to individual wheels if a loss of traction is detected.
2. Middle Buttons (SPORT and ECO PRO): These allow the driver to switch between different driving modes:
   • SPORT Mode: Enhances the driving experience by typically adjusting throttle response, steering weight, and transmission shift points for a more dynamic and engaging feel, often also affecting suspension settings in models with adaptive suspension.
   • ECO PRO Mode: Optimizes the vehicle for maximum fuel efficiency by adjusting various parameters like throttle response, climate control, and gear shifts to promote economical driving.
3. Bottom Button (Parking Assistant/Radar Sensor): This button, marked with a "P" and a radar/sound wave icon, controls the Park Distance Control (PDC) or Parking Assistant system. This system utilizes sensors to help the driver during parking maneuvers by providing audible and/or visual warnings of obstacles around the vehicle, and in some models, can even assist with steering into parking spaces
