    There is a little thumb lever on the inside of the grippy area called the hood. That is the little tab/button you are looking for. You can see it sticking out the side here!

    It's probably the whole brake lever. Push it inwards.

    OK, then it probably has the other style Shimano shifters. Press the paddle inwards to shift up into a bigger gear and press the break lever itself inwards to shift down.
