If I'm not mistaken, it's for the rear foglights which may or may not be available where you live due to legal restrictions.

I believe it is for headlight leveling in the UK version.

That's exactly how our 04/02 MCS looks. We have the rally lights and they didn't even use that space. Too bad.

If someone has a toggle in that space I would like to see it and know what it does.

Norm is right! Its the space where the rear fog light toggle goes. Thankfully, standard on Aussie cars! And because we get ASC+T standard, we get a full deck of switches!

Cheers!

In the UK that space is indeed for the rear fog not the levelling of the headlights!

One of those foglight symbols is not quite right.

Do you have rear fog lights fitted to your S? If so, can you send a pic?

Thanks

switch

The switch on Karmuze's pic is for Nitrous Oxide boost.
Only available as option in certain areas I believe.
