push button under dash

I found another push button under the dash, above the battery. I have no idea what this does as nothing seems to happen when I push it. Anyone have one of these?
It looks like an inertia switch (fuel cutoff)? It's probably a push-to-reset thing, so won't do anything if it hasn't actually tripped."should" is the operative word there, Steve - It didn't throw a light on my car when I entered a gravel trap at Mallory Park at speed and sideways.
The car didn't roll over, more by luck than judgement.
So i was well puzzled when, after a mental change of undercrackers, I tried to re-start the car. The starter turned over as fast as usual but nothing else happened. After a quick call to my TVR guru Mat Smith, I pressed the button and all was well again. It's the only time I have tripped that switch, so on that basis it's correctly set up to only activate when roll-over is imminent but hasn't yet actually happened - perfect timing.

Isn’t that exactly what happened to bring that Chim to a halt on Top Gear (thanks Flintoff!)?The car didn't roll over, more by luck than judgement.
