Whats This Button?

[Mashlee08]

Hi all, just got my new 350RX yesterday, been searching forums everywhere for an explanation as to what this button is. It has no labels on it or near it other then the fact that its underneath the snow on/off switch. pictures are bad taken with phone sorry. When I push the button nothing lights up in dash or anything, and user manual is all in jap. Might seem a silly question but I am clueless. Any ideas what it is??

Any chance you could turn the light on and get a better picture up?

[Mashlee08]

Ill give it a go, had light on but is really far underneath so not much light reaches it.

probably best picture i can get

Looks like the button in mine that controls the mirrors folding in.

its the on off switch for when you throw car into reverse the mirrors tilt down so you can see a bit better

checked that mirrors dont do anything in reverse when i push the button

Take the bottom panel off - its one screw, and then trace the wire. That might help you out.

Mine has the same button. It tilts the mirrors on reverse. Maybe it was disconnected during compliance for some reason.

Or when an alarm was added/removed.

its the snow button???? as in if your car is auto, you get better traction control in snow

could also be a on/off switch for the ioniser.

only people that removed the dealer fitted alarms are up in QLD - I was one of them. that one is in the wrong spot for that feature and it has a mirror symbol on it usually.

Jean, unless i'm mistaken, he means the button behind that one, in the background?

Agree that it may have been disconnected during compliance.

I doubt it was disconnected during compliance. Here in New Zealand where the op lives also, they don't normally disable anything like that. Thankfully our HID headlights, original road tyres etc come through unscathed unless they're below warrant of fitness standard. I'm wondering whether it's a 3rd party switch added for spotlights (since removed by the original owner) or something similar?

Are there any symbols on the switch itself? I'd normally expect a factory switch to have some identification markings. Our 250RX has the same snow switch, but nothing below it.
