Default what is this button ?

Hi all,

I have a button on my car I've recently purchased. It's on the left of the steering wheel, and on the left of the lights button. I can turn it, and when I do that there is a noise/bip and a green light switchs on in the console, low row, between the spoiler and the top button(it's a cab).

any idea ?

Sounds like a built-in radar/laser detector or phaser. There is not an oem swicth on that location for US cars but the location/blank is often used for aftermarket installations.

Perhaps a manual oil cooler fan over-ride switch? Turn it on with the ignition on and stand by the passenger side (LHD) front wing and check whether the fan runs. Popular mod where the car lives it hot climates.

If not, perhaps it engages the warp drive?
