T-Series New Switch

[mgbnew]

After having my new 70 B for a year now I thought I knew all the parts and where they were. Wrong. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif The other day I noticed a small slide type swith on the left side of the steering column. Can someone tell me what this is for?
Thanks

Thanks Tony. I was playing around with it in the daylight so I never would have figured that. Thanks again.

Glad we got the correct answer right off - looks like this one is gonna become "interesting".....hehehehe (Did James Bond ever drive an MG?)

I think no? Q needed a car that he could add the stuff to... not a car that already has all those tricks built into it /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
