It's the ejector seat button but seems to have been removed or disabled on your model.

Ahhhhh' That makes perfect sense, I had it at the mechanics to get it coded out, didn't think he'd remove the button though.

It's either for your quill, or cigar.  Nothing missing....unless you use one or both?

If you had rear sunscreens you would find the raise/lower switch there  :)

Dunno bud, I have my ipod rattling around in there!
