    One on the left is the engine/exhaust brake . It has 3 settings/ off on when brake is pushed and on when you lift foot off accelerator .
    the one with KM is for setting speed limiter . Ie if driving in 50kph zone press it and you wont go over 50 or 80 in an 80 etc

    It increases backpressure by restricting the exhaust gas leaving the engine with the result of increasing engine braking.

    Been awhile since i've driven one but afaik the top mode means it comes on to assist braking when you touch the brake pedal and the other means it turns on when you take your foot off the accelerator .
