Newbie Question
Newbie Question
I just bought a 2005 with 66,000 miles and flawless interior and exterior. I have read the owners manual and cannot find a reference to a lighted toggle button to the right of the headlight switch. This button has a led that illuminates when the engine is running and if you depress the upper side of the button a beeping sound can be heard from the dash close to the radio. I can't find any reference to it in the manual that I downloaded from the web. Maybe that manual is covering a different model, but any tips would be appreciated.

Good point, I didn't even look.
Now that I did look, I'd say the amber front markers scream USA, however the rear parking sensors are somewhat unusual ......
( And it wasn't raining in the pictures, so not England )

I always reckon I would have been a bit taller if it hadn't been for the rain.
Maybe the switch has something to do with the back up sensors?

Re: Newbie Question
I did some research this morning and discovered that the switch controls the power to an aftermarker ultrasonic back-up system. Napoer Car Parking Sensors Reverse Radar System
The car does seem to have bad blind spots and I guess a previous owner decided to give himself some help backing up. I will test the system today and see if it works very well.
The car is so pretty that I find it difficult to believe that someone would drill holes in the rear bumper to mount the sensors. On second look, they did not even space them perfectly. Still a beautiful car though.
I will have to post some better pictures. The ones shown are from the dealer ad and are very low resolution.
