What is this switch for?

Dave C · Nov 27, 2009

Hi all,
Just collected my Nav this afternoon............'09 plate acenta....and i love it......

One question, a switch on the dash, i do not know what it does......it is by my right knee in between the light adjuster and the mirror adjuster..........just a small switch that lights up when pushed.

I have checked the book and on this site ....but no joy......the dealers are now closed......so any ideas chaps/esses

Thank you

is it the headlight wash? will only work correctly with the head lights on :scratch:

Engine warmer?
When idling with handbrake on the revs will go up, used to heat the engine quicker.

steve is the engine warm switch not in the left :scratch: :?:

Maybe, not sure without looking now you've said that, I think you could be right though!

Dave C · Nov 27, 2009

Thanks guys....for your quick replies.....

The engine warmer is by my left knee.....so it's not that......i haven't got a tow bar....so don't think it's a power source for the electrics......and to be honest i do not think my vehicle has got headlight washers...

May be a call to the dealer in the morning.......just to feel even more silly than i do now...lol.

got a picture :scratch:

Is it an import - it's a position a lot put the fog light switch in if there's one fitted as an after market add on?

Dave C · Nov 27, 2009

no piccy's at the mo....sorry.......and it's a uk car....if that makes sense.....it was the dealers demo......

I have a top box fitted to it....i wonder if it is a power supply to the lights in the back and the heated rear screen.....just a thought.

Dave.

Ps ...it does seem to be a 'add' on switch as against one as standard.... :scratch:

sbrown · Nov 27, 2009

Could be the heated window in it, that seems quite likely, it'll need Acc on to work but would make sense.

carts · Nov 27, 2009

if its not OEM, then it could well be for an interior light / heated screen or such like in the rear :?

Warpa · Nov 27, 2009

Could be to keep the brake :lol: lights on when the key is not in the ignition

Dave C · Nov 27, 2009

Ok all...just been out and checked.....its for the rear screen of the top............thanks for your help and hope you all have a great weekend......

Dave :cheers2:

carts · Nov 27, 2009

excellent, enjoy the weekend and the truck :cheers2:

Dave C · Nov 27, 2009

Cheers carts.....i've got 4 days off now......so it's play time.....can't wait.......i'm getting a tracker fitted to her on Tuesday....then i will be a bit happier.

I've got a switch there as well, but mine is to enable/disable the front parking sensors. Useful for when I am bumper chasing on the motorway ;-)

Dave C · Nov 27, 2009

Like it....... :dance:

Yep, different cultures and different backgrounds do different things....If people don't move over, I'll push them over...That's how I was taught...It's tough out there, so survival of the fittest and dont hog the lane :thumbright:

hi dave c what sort of tracker have you gone for? i have smartrak fitted to mine..

Dave C · Nov 27, 2009

Hi Water monkey...

Gone for the tracker monitor...........looks like this model will suit my needs.....never had a tracker before so it's all new to me........but as i am away from home quite a bit i need a bit extra...so at least if it moves they will give me a buzz.....hopefully anyway.

Dave

watermonkey · Nov 28, 2009

mine does exactly the same, truck only has to move 5m and they are ringing me. at least i know the truck is safe when i am at work.

Dave C · Nov 28, 2009

Cheers watermonkey......that reassures me ....thankyou......i am thinking of going for the one off (lifetime) payment......

Dave c

watermonkey · Nov 28, 2009

did the same about £325 no other payment again, plus i can move my tracker to new vehicle and will still be covered.

What is this switch for?
