• Black Box button: Confirms the driver’s intention to come to the pits.
  
• Blue and orange S1/S2 buttons: These can be programmed for various funcutions.
  
• Entry rotary switch: This allows the driver to make changes to corner entry settings of the differential.
  
• Orange and green BRK-/BRK+ buttons: These change the brake balance between a programmed position and the current BRKBAL rotary position.
  
• IGN (ignition) rotary switch: Controls ignition timing.
  
• White ACK (acknowledge) button: Acknowledges changes in the system.
  
• PREL (preload) rotary switch: Controls the preload differential offset torque.
  
• Red Oil button: Transfers oil from the auxiliary tank to the main tank.
  
• Black BP (bite point) button: Activates the clutch bite point finding procedure.
  
• DRS (drag reduction system) button, upper left edge of the wheel: Activates the rear wing flap in the DRS zone.

They include engine modes (PERF), rev limiter (ENG), air-fuel ratio (MIX), turbo-compressor (TURBO), corner exit differential (VISCO), MGU-K recovery limits (BRK), MGU-K boost limits (BOOST), dashboard options (DASH), cruise control (CC, disabled for qualifying and the race), shift type (SHIFT), and the clutch bite point offset (CLU).
  
• White -10/+1 buttons: These allow quick navigation of maps from the MFRS dial.
