Switch below the dimmer is for the "follow me home" light. It lights up one left taillight which is very bright so that cars can see you well in poor conditions.

Sport mode shifts the tranny at higher rpm and downshifts quicker. More pickup but worse gas mileage. Winter mode starts you out in 2nd gear for lower torque equaling better traction in snow and ice. Only use winter mode starting out on snow or ice.

Hope this helps!
