Post by ecohouse1 »

Between the seats unit - at the back between the two rear electric window buttons? Can't see what it does?

Just curious.....

It's not standard, whatever it is... Must be an addition made by a previous owner...

The normal complement of switches in that location are rear electric windows and in fitted, the sunroof switch...

I did press it & nothing appeared to happen - but then again - its a Citroen so that is not uncommon :-D

Looks like its part of the car and integrated. Silver round button about the size of a 5p.

Couldn't find it mentioned in the Drivers Handbook....................
