Hello everybody,

Someone has had a noble for over 9 months and still doesn't know what a switch is for!!
"He" is too embarrassed to ask... lol so i'm hoping someone will be able to enlighten me and i will pass it on.
Apologies for the poor description (from a non-noble expert) it is above the engine start button but below the fog lights switch (the bottom switch) By the row of lights... He thinks it is the "auxhilary switch" but still doesn't know what that is or does.
If i haven't explained it right you could just say what both switches are for and that should be sufficient.
I flicked it a couple of times to see if anything happens but was dissapointed (i was hoping it might turn into a bat-mobile)
Oh it is a 3R

Thanks in advance!

Ahh now that switch is the most important switch of all! Some say its the switch to activate the car into transformer mode and some say its to make you invisible to the boys in blue! but its actually far more important than that and you need to be skilled to use it! infact to get it to operate you need to know its wired up to the SFA! oops maybe ive just told you what it does!

IIRC, it was going to be used to switch boost level, but was never implemented.
