I am guessing that it is a two-position switch. The POWER setting enables the transmission to run in the normal mode. The SNOW setting will cause the transmission to start in a "higher" gear, which limits torque to the driving wheels to prevent wheel-spin on slippery surfaces. The center marking (A/T) is simply the name of the switch (Automatic Transmission).
I noticed your car has the fold-back function for the mirrors. I wish US-Muranos had that feature.

O.K. I now revise my original statement...
The POWER setting causes the transmission to hold a gear slightly longer and shifts to the next gear at a higher rev, presumably to keep the engine in the "sweet spot" of the power band. It may also instruct the tranny to shift gears faster.
The A/T setting enables the transmission to run in the normal mode.
The SNOW setting will cause the transmission to start in a "higher" gear, which limits torque to the driving wheels to prevent wheel-spin on slippery surfaces. The car will start out in second gear instead if first.
I think I got it this time.
