Strange thought the buttons were IC spray manual, IC spray auto, rear fog?

Take a pic and post it

It COULD stand for Auto Pilot... press it and a big inflatable driver appears and takes full control of the car similar to the Airplane Movies.... but i doubt it

Not seen it before myself...

would be a good trick on long journeys or traffic..
Yeah i have not come across it before and upon doing a search could only find one other thread on another site but still no conclusion. There is one theory that its air purifier but think its just a stab in the dark.........

When i got the car it was allready pushed in.. I have turned it of and on now there is a light that sometimes pulses but today was on constant.
Im thinking now that it may not be a factory fitted button its doing my head in..lol..
it does not do anything with any of the fans ! it just dont seem to do anything...
I think the next stage is to trace the wiring.. i think that is the only way around it
thanks for the input guys. and ill update any findings !
