it is used when there are severe icy conditions and when you turn it on it will turn to third gear and help the car keep in control.

It's the Winter setting. One uses it when road conditions are slippery e.g. ice or wet leaves. It pulls away in a higher gear and does not allow the engine to rev to much, thus avoiding wheelspin.
