Yep that's it. Looks like a 3rd indicator. A, m for manual mode, r and p . Then there are two more stalks behind the steering wheel for going up or down gears from 1-6 like on an f1 car It was in 2008 and I've just looked up my holiday pics to see that it was a Citroen Picasso C4 and I think that it was probably the worst car that I've ever hired. It wasn't so much the driving quirks but more the handling as it seemed to handle like a boat in bad weather and any journey over a couple of miles had the passengers feeling sea sick

Also tends to roll back a touch on hills / when trying to park etc. Rather disconcerting .. But yes it's a boat.. a boat on tarmac. Gear change all go forward , and all go back ... forward and back.. like a rowing boat
