Hi all. I've got some non standard buttons on my velfire and was curious if you know what they mean or what they're for? The little light switch lookingone. Also what do the other buttons mean. Also where my media unit is I have the airbagthat says passenger. Is this supposed to be illuminated? Thank you.PXL_20250911_081425088.thumb.jpg.6048cfaf24b1d4d001fb6296af34c1b6.jpgPXL_20250911_081421122.thumb.jpg.ea81a94f8708c13a3c96292d3ca6bb12.jpgPXL_20250911_081415426.thumb.jpg.3eea958d51f0329d93f398286b2603c7.jpgPXL_20250911_081421122.thumb.jpg.ea81a94f8708c13a3c96292d3ca6bb12.jpg

I have an earlier model; so I am just guessing.

 

Do you have driving lights fitted ?

Not an unusual accessory.

 

The P switch could be a parking aid !

 

Power doors disables/enables the rear doors, to prevent 'little fingers' at play.

Hiya rojie. When you say driving lights do you mean the ambient strip lighting in the roof liner at the back? P switch being the parking aid could make sense. As I've got the full camera set up around the car.  Regarding the parking aid, does that mean the car will self park or am I being too ambitious? Thanks

The rocker switch could well have been for switching the indicator lights on as DRLs. I have this on my Alphard, my switch is on the steering column but it's no longer active as the wiring was used for the rear fog light, so now the switch does nothing.

 

The passenger light is a seat belt warning, it will flash if someones in the passenger without a belt and you start driving. There may also be a tone that sounds at the same time. The tone can be turned off via OBD though. 

 

I'm not 100% certain but I'm pretty confident that the button above the rocker switch with the P in an arrow is related to the auto park feature called Intelligent Park Assist (IPA)

 

I'm assuming that you don't have 360 cameras installed as it wasn't common to have IPA and 360 cameras on the same car. 

 

If you look at the button next to the ODO button that's also related. If you had 360 cameras that button would have a camera icon and will display the cameras on the radio display. 

 

You can also tell from the sonar sensors on the outside of the car, if you have sensors on the side of the bumper then you have IPA
