Default 3 buttons on dash next to headlight control

What do they do? They are just to the left of the headlight control. I notice most people have a blank space here so must be some kind of option? Didn't see any mention in the manual. Any help much appreciated.
thanks!

If all three are buttons (not LED lights), then I'm inclined to follow Kim's opinion: garage opener. If it's a homelink model, I believe you can set it by holding your garage door opener next to it and holding down the button on the remote and one on the car for 15 seconds or something. Normally an LED would flash to indicate that the car has accepted/copied the code.

If it is a radar detector, there should be corresponding part installed behind the front bumper that serves as the antennae. But if it were a radar detector, I would think you would have noticed by now either through audio or visual warnings from the detector.

Slick install though...
