The M does in fact mean More Power although it is actually a Mountain or hill climbing mode.

One of the concerns was that the engine and electric motors would not be able to provide sufficient power to go up various mountain passes. It's my assumption that M is going to change some of the drive dynamics for mountainuous regions. This might include running the engine at a higher RPM or running the battery below the set depletion point or some other combination of things.
