looks like a DIY job to me. Have you had the car from new?

[wug]

Nope, purchased last year december from the Netherlands. When i switch it on or off nothing happens.

[Parthiban]

Does it have front parking sensors on a model that shouldn't? Perhaps this switches them on and off?

[wug]

Level of equipment is Luxury, and as far as i know this comes stock with front parking sensors. But i will check it. Anyway, why would you hide the front parking switch ?

[Steve ( West Mids )]

I'd remove the console, look at the colour of wires and see if you can trace them anywhere.

[wug]

Alright, i checked the front parking, is not that one. No one has something like that ?

[trackerman]

Laser diffuser ?,or similar ?,but the unit may have been removed and now you've just a switch !

[TigerFish]

It doesn't look like a factory fit switch, so who ever had it before you fitted it and no-one else is likely to have one like it. Tracing the wires would be the only way of finding the purpose if it isn't obvious. It could even be something like switching a permanent 12v to the cigarette lighter socket so they could charge something when they left the car.

Do you have the SAT Nav modded? Maybe this is the override button that lets you enter your destination while moving (this was not available until E11).

It's the ejector seat for when your passenger annoys you. :)

automatic headlight switch?

I thought it was for the flux capacitor but you may well be correct.

Looks to me like a switch to turn off the rear parking sensors in case you are towing anything, usually fitted with the accessory Lexus sensors.

I tow and never needed to switch it off.

@Denis Ivanov

Well, yeah i can input destination while driving but with this button on or off is acting same. Not sure if sat nav is modded or not, but recently i got 3 double layer DVD's with 2010 all Europe maps including Russia and Turkey, and they are just copies not original DVD's

@DaveEdin

Uaahhahhaa, wish i had one for real ... :P

@Matus

Nope, i got Xenon lights and comes with stock

I will try to follow the wires and let you know.

I think you'll find they are for the seat heaters

Switch them to "0" and your bum won't get too warm

Hope this helps
