New member and owner with dash button question

hello, i have just purchased an coachmen elite 2002 model class A diesel pusher. while i am sure i will have many more questions, the one that nothing in the Coachmen and Freightliner manual has answered for me is what one button on the left side dash panel is for, It is a rocker switch with a M with a circle around it with () brackets around it. sort of like this..(M) with the M circled.
can someone tell me what this does
thanks in advance

On my 2002 National Tradewinds that switch enables/disables the exhaust brake.

The brackets on either side of the circled M can indicate a type of Brake. Take it for a drive and touch the brakes to slow down with the switch in either position. If it is for the exhaust brake, you will feel it kick in. I'm confused as to what the M stands for. The letters B, E, or J would be more meaningful to me.

Does the "M" stand for "manual" brake? Like a parking brake?

Why don't you post a picture of all of the switches there, might help seeing how they are all laid out.
