Question Mistery ****...and two questions

I have an S4, with the white dials cluster..
When i was looking for something under the steering wheel, i found a rotating ****, it is under the ignition key switch,left of the cilinder (cylinder?).
What is this **** for????


Also, i'm for a complete coolant change, what are your opinions for the best coolant? Where can i buy it from?

Third: The reverse light stopped working, along with the mirror controls. I already checked the fuse, it's OK, but i might have checked the worng one, in an 88 S4 which is the fuse for backup light/mirrors???

Thanks

I know for older models there is also a small switch there as well, this is for "special intensive cleaning solution"????? the rotating **** adjusts the duration of spray to the windshield

Maybe on yours... on mine it controls intermittent wiper delay.
