Anyone know what this is?

So obviously, this is MBenzNL's work, so it could be some crazy stuff..... BUT

This is in one of his 202 projects.

D. Seat heater
Headlamp washer?
Headrest
Hazards
Door lock
???
P. seat heater

Does anyone know what the second last switch is? In this model, he has rear seat heaters installed. In the space above the rear ashtray, there is a left seat heater, a second one of these switches, and a right seat heater. I thought it would be the rear power blind, but the control for that is on the gearshift trim piece...

Also anyone have any idea why there is a dash switch for the headlamp washers? Maybe just easier to wire it this way instead of trying to wiring it in so they activate with the windshield washer while the headlights are on?

I think that's the toilet flush.

kidding ... I don't know. :P If noone here knows you can check club202.com or bnzsport.com. There's some OG there that might know.

Could they be heated and ventilated seats, and those are for the fan'ss on/off?

There's usually an anti-tow button there (different symbol). However, that symbol could pass as a flatbed truck. Perhaps a "facelifted" version of that button?

Don't think that's it, as here is another one of his creations, an A class, with both the symbols, tow on the dash and mystery one somewhere else. Also I don't see why there would be a tow switch in the back of the c class.

From the image on the switch, I'm thinking maybe it's a gizmo that blows air up your girlfriend's dress? Otherwise I'm clueless....

I suppose it could be that... though I have NEVER heard of that on a 202, let alone an A class. I knew about the rear seat heaters even, but not vented or seats with a fan anywhere

Only other option I can think of is the roll-up/down rear window sun visor thing. I have no clue what that symbol looks like. And that would make sense to have in both front and back.

Thought of that too, but on the 202 it's on the gearshift trim in this instance

Could that mystery switch be related with a rear speaker cut-off perhaps? Never seen it myself.

This is what I was thinking but this is not what the roller blind switch looks like.

In many models, this switch called (Hands free system switch)....., #: "210 820 66 10",, and in the W202 uses the same switch called (Radio Phone)

switch, if anyone have a "phone system" he can engage this SWITCH to mute the Radio when any calles comes.......


Anyone know what this is?-switch.jpg

ZAYED,,
Thank you!! that sounds pretty useful. I've always missed a simple mute or phone button on the radio that newer cars have. Not sure if it's worth cutting up the trim would to add another rocker switch though...
