Bottom Row of Buttons

Whilst searching online for my perfect 997 C2S I have noticed the odd one with an extra button on the bottom row.

One is for spoiler, one is for PSM, one is for PASM and sometimes there is another one, if there is chrono it is for sport mode but if no chrono what is it?
 
There is one for PASM (if fitted) , one for the rear spoiler , one for the SPORT chrono (if fitted) and one for PSM. The PSE or sport exhaust button sits in the same position as the SPORT button. The PSE button is not present if sport chrono is fitted with a PSE as the sport button does both actions.
 
I have a C2S Gen 2 with Crono. Reading from left to right the buttons are, Sport, Sport Plus, PASM, Spoiler & PSM.

There is a gap between the PASM & Spoiler buttons, presumably this is for the sport exhaust.
 
I've yet to see a Gen 2 manual car specced with PASM , SPORT and a PSE. Can anyone confirm if the PSE has its own separate button on the gen2 ? On the gen 1 the SPORT button doubled as the PSE if sport chrono was fitted , otherwise the PSE filled the SPORT button location.
 
I have a gen2 specced with SC, PASM (it's an S) and PSE and each has a separate button. Irritatingly, pressing Sport (for SC) also engages PASM sport mode which one rarely wants unless on track and you have to disengage by pressing the PASM button. The PSE button is entirely independent.

Gen1 is exactly the same, somehow I don't find it that much of a problem..[&:]
I press another button to soften the ride

Thanks for the replies, I'm looking to get a switch panel so I can control the PSE independantly of the sport button.

See the photo of dash on this car, what is the button with the indication glowing orange. I cant make out what the picture is.....but the details indicate it has sports exhaust so I assume that is what the button does.
 
It's the sports exhaust on/off switch.

The picture on the switch is an exhaust tailpipe.
 
I saw a gen 2 car in the OPC today. It had six switches on the panel,
spoiler , pasm , psm, pse, sport, and sport plus. I would guess the new gen 2 has a diferent rear DME so that each function has its own input. On the gen 1 the sport button doubled for the PSE so there was no option to have separate PSE and sport buttons. A shame really , because if you also have PASM it means that to get the PSE active (without the car in sport mode for PASM and throttle) you then need to press more buttons afterwards....fiddly .
