Unknown switch in boot

[Pegit]

After putting the first aid kit in the left hand compartment in the boot I noticed that the indicators wasn’t flashing or making any noise on the dashboard even though they were working outside, after removing the first aid kit I saw the switch and now the indicators are working fine now on the dashboard, I can’t find any information about this in the owners manual, has anyone come across this before?

Looks to me like the electronic handbrake emergency release

Thanks, If that’s the case it must have been a coincidence regarding the dashboard, I was convinced I must have pressed it down when I pushed the first aid kit in! looks like I may have a intermittent fault!
