I believe they are for locking the box into those gear, for steep hills and and snow and stuff.

Position 1 is to stay in first gear.
2 is to use first and second gears, and it will shift up and down between them by itself.
3 is to use the three lower gears while preventing shifting to fourth gear.
Say that 3 is to use in town and D on the roads.
