What is this switch on the dash for?

Ok, so I don't have a pic of the switch, but it's located under the oil temp/druck pressure gauge. Sorry to be so vauge, but I don't know what else to call it.

...It's times like these I wish I had an owner's manual.

Switch for left/right selection of power side mirrors...Actual adjustment of mirrors are controlled by small stalk on top of drivers door pad near wing window....

Check your owner's manual, (if you have one) it tells what all the switches are...

if the switch toggles left to right it is the mirror adjustment. If it toggles front to back it is the sunroof. Actually sunroof switch is closer to the sterring column but you get the drift.

That is a self automatic destruction button. With the press of that switch, in 30 seconds the car will explote. Is a emergency switch that you use in a carjacking situation to kill the thieve.

hum...just like To Fast To Furious movie. The scene when the good guys are running in the blue Yenko and the other muscle car thru Florida Keys highway.

I will buy one of those Passenger ejection module (PN 911-007) for the passenger that talk a lot during a trip.

Of course, if someone told me to press mine and see what happens, nothing would/does. My mirrors haven't worked since I bought the car-they stay at the bottom of the priority list for some reason.

That's the Trunk Monkey switch.

Only use it when you really have to...
