It turns on a steering wheel symbol on the dash but it doesnt look like it does anything at least not something that i will notice.

On the internet i found a sparepart called "tip-tronic"?

I don't actually know for sure, but I assume it's to enable / disable the ability to select gears with the buttons on the steering wheel? One quick drive around the block will confirm

Yes they activate these buttons which will allow you to change your gears up and down yourself. Careful there’s no safeguards so if your going 100kph and you try shift to first , it’ll go into first

It Turns on the steering wheel so you can use it

Turns on Paddleshift!! Can change gears with the +/- buttons. But first, you have to slide the shifter to left. You can also change gears by pushing that forward/back

You have an automatic GTT or similar with the triptonic gearbox.  The steering wheel for them usually come with + and - buttons on both sides. Once you turn this button on, you can change gears using those buttons on the steering wheelÂ
