It's the rear three quarter window flip-out switch.It was orginally for models equipped with third row seats so that the third row passengers would have ventilation, hence the 3. If you press the top portion of the button, the window will flip out into the vent position. If you press the bottom, it will close. The button on the left side of the series of buttons on the dash is for the left window, the button on the right side is for the right side window.

An easy way to check is if you have three black buttons on the outside of your 1/4 glasses. If your glass is smooth with no buttons then you dont have power 1/4 glasses. Autogunner.

Have your friend ask for a manual from the dealer. Should get it free.
