i was told it had electric fold back mirrors it could be for that although if it is they dont work!

Reason for 2-

Assuming yours is the same as my car then the bigger button on the front right of the console is a cut-off switch for ALL the window switches, the smaller button on the front left of the console (as pictured in the original post) is a cut-off switch for the rear windows only.
I would assume this is a safety feature for those of us that carry children in the back seats of our cars.... :roll:
