The button is probably hill decent control to stop the engine over revving or if its an auto box may lock it in a lower gear.
Inverter.... No idea.

I had to look on line for the info on the different systems. plus the ASR, ESP and traction plus system.
HILL HOLDER SYSTEM It is integral to the ESP system. It automatically activates with the following conditions:
uphill: vehicle stationary on a road with a gradient higher than 5%, engine running, brake pressed and gearbox in neutral or gear (other than reverse) engaged
downhill: vehicle stationary on a road with a gradient higher than 5%, engine running, brake pressed and reverse gear engaged.
When setting off, the ESP system control unit will maintain braking pressure on the wheels until the torque required for starting is attained or, in any case, for a maximum of 2 seconds in order that the right foot can be moved easily from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal. When 2 seconds have elapsed, without any departure having taken place, the system is automatically deactivated, gradually releasing the braking pressure. During this release stage, the typical brake disengagement noise indicating that the vehicle is going to move imminently will be heard.
HILL DESCENT CONTROL (HDC) SYSTEM P84
It is an integral part of the ESC and is aimed at keeping the vehicle at a constant speed during a descent, operating autonomously on the brakes in various ways at the same time. In this way the vehicle stability and completely safe driving are guaranteed, above all in poor grip conditions and/or steep descents.
To activate the system, reach a speed slower than 25 km/h and press the corresponding button A fig. 83; the LED on the button turns on and the display shows a dedicated message.
After reaching the desired speed, release the accelerator and brake pedals completely (the LED on the button flashes). If you want to increase/decrease the speed, press the accelerator/brake pedals again.
IMPORTANT Do not use the device with the gearbox in neutral position.
IMPORTANT It is important to engage a gear suitable for the set speed, to prevent the engine from stalling. When this function is active the brake lights turn on automatically. While the HDC system is operating i't is also possible to take control of the vehicle again by pressing the brake and accelerator pedals. If the function is not made available when the button is pressed, this could be due to brake overheating. In this case, wait a few minutes before using the function again.
IMPORTANT The system is available for speeds below 25 km/h.
IMPORTANT On exceeding 25 km/h, the HDC system is disabled and remains ready to operate again (the LED on the button remains on) when the vehicle returns below 25 km/h.
If the vehicle speed exceeds 50 km/h, the HDC system turns off completely (the LED on the button turns off) and any autonomous action on the brakes is disabled. To reactivate it, press the dedicated button again when the speed is again below 25 km/h.
TRACTION PLUS SYSTEM P85 for versions/markets, where provided) Traction Plus is a driving aid, useful for setting off in poor grip conditions (snow, ice, mud, etc.) which allows the drive force to be evenly distributed over the same axle when both wheels are slipping. Traction Plus acts by braking the wheels with poor grip (or those slipping more than the others), thereby transferring the drive force to those which have greater grip on the ground. This function can be activated manually by pressing the T+ button on the dashboard fig. 133 and operates under 30 km/h. Over this speed, it is automatically deactivated (the LED on the button is still on) and it is reactivated again when the speed is below 30 km/h.
Traction Plus operation The system is deactivated when starting. To activate the Traction Plus system, press the T+ button fig. 133: the LED on the button switches on. The activation of the Traction Plus system involves the following functions being switched on: ❒ inhibition of the ASR function, to exploit the engine torque fully; ❒ a differential locking effect on the front axle, through the braking system, to improve traction on irregular surfaces. If the Traction Plus system is faulty, the warning light on the instrument panel switches on constantly.
ESP SYSTEM (Electronic Stability Program) (for versions/markets, where provided) This is an electronic system that controls vehicle stability in the event of tyre grip loss, helping to maintain directional control. The ESP system is therefore particularly useful when the grip conditions of road surfaces change. The MSR system (adjustment of the engine braking torque during gear changes) and the HBA system (automatic increase in the braking pressure during emergency braking) are present with ESP, ASR and Hill Holder systems (for versions/markets where provided). SYSTEM INTERVENTION This is indicated by the flashing of the warning light on the instrument panel, to inform the driver that the car is in critical stability and grip conditions. System activation The ESP system is automatically activated when the vehicle is started and cannot be deactivated.
ASR SYSTEM (Antislip Regulation) This is a traction control system that cuts in automatically every time one or both drive wheels slip. Depending on the slipping conditions, two different control systems are activated:
if the slipping involves both drive wheels, the ASR intervenes reducing the power transmitted by the engine; if the slipping only involves one of the drive wheels, it intervenes automatically braking the wheel that is slipping. The action of the ASR system is especially useful in the following conditions: slipping of the inner wheel on bends due to dynamic variations in the load or excessive acceleration; excessive power transmitted to the wheels, also in relation to road surface conditions; acceleration on slippery, snowy or icy road surfaces; loss of grip on wet road surfaces (aquaplaning).
MSR system (engine drive regulation) This is an integral part of the ASR system that, in the event of a sudden gear down shift, cuts in and provides torque to the engine thus preventing excessive drive wheel drive which, especially in poor grip conditions, can lead to a loss of stability.
Activation/deactivation of the ASR system The ASR system activates automatically each time the engine is started. When travelling, the ASR can be switched off and on again pressing button A fig. 132 located among the controls in the instrument panel. Switching off is shown by the LED in the switch itself switching on together with a message shown in the multifunction display, for versions/markets where provided. If the ASR is switched off when driving, it is automatically switched on again when the vehicle is started up. When travelling on snowy roads with snow chains, it may be helpful to turn the ASR off: in fact, in these conditions, slipping of the drive wheels when moving off makes it possible to obtain better traction

For the inverter look around the control panel for any clues. Post photos of what you see if possible.
You could try plugging a small mains load like a phone charger into one of the mains sockets. It shouldn't work but worth checking anyway just in case it is an alway on inverter.
