Does anyone know what this switch is for??
Hi Guys,
I downloaded the operators manual but there is nothing that looks like this switch. Have not tried it yet just incase.
It's located next to the headlight switch.

Any ideas? Ejector seat? Rocket launcher?
Thanks

So I decided to try the switch. I pushed it in and the light went on and that was it. Nothing. So I guess that switch is to turn the little red light on thats located in the middle of the switch. Looks like I may have to do some wire hunting

I have just located a page where the functions and diagnostic for this switch are. This button was an option from 9/95 as ADS II with automatic level control. Apparently this switch will raise the suspension by 15mm (single LED switch) or 30mm (if your switch has 2 LEDs). It is quite slow and will only remain raised up until 62km/h. Now that I know what to look for I' m gonna grab a beer, tape measure and head for the shed. See what happens this time around.
