I've found a switch beside the keyhole for turning the airbags off. I have pushed it a few times and it seems to have no use (as far as I know). Anyone have any idea as to what it's for? It's in a 2000 HDI if that's any help also.

Ah thanks. Was beginning to bug me, especially since I have no manual with the car.

Is that where passengers in the back can't operate their windows? Or am I completely of course?

It probably is to do with the alarm I'd assume.

Unable to take photo's, iPhone gave up on me a while back unfortunately

I also have a black tipped push button in-between the headlight level control and dash light dimmer. I assumed it was for the alarm, as it doesn't look factory fit, more aftermarket. There is a small LED above it. I dare not press it in-case the car never starts again!

Do you have rear electric windows Kyle? Yours sounds like the cut-off switch for those.

Tiny black push button with chrome nut fixing. Traced wires today and they go to alarm, no idea why. I also have a flashing red imob led in the centre by clock but i presumed that was standard. Glad to hear others have this mystery switch.
