If this is your first contemporary BMW I urge you to spend "quality time" with your owner's manual ... the controls and features can be very very very very confusing.

It's to enable (default) or disable the Dynamic Traction Control. When enabled, the transmission will provide more power to the non spinning wheel to get you moving. One of the BMW demo videos shows a car with the DTC off so that the wheels will spin to help it "paddle" through snow.

Aside from the PDC switch you should have four small button-shaped sensors on both the front and rear bumpers.
