Ahhh! Upon fresher (morning eyes) and a much larger monitor screen...I can see it, now.

As others have mentioned, if pressing the button appears to not do anything...you'll need to remove the panel and trace the wiring.

I lightened the contrast, adjusted the brightness, and circled the button's location plus added arrows so that if anyone else was like me (and didn't see it in the shadows of your 1st image)...they should be able to see the location of the button, now.

Yazar, don't you have a fire extinguisher requirement in Holland? I don't see it, nor the 1st aid kit, if it were to be on the driver's side...

I have no clue what it does. do you know what it can be ??

there is/was never a aftermarket or retrofit system in this car !!

For clarification, in your original post are you saying you are sure that there has never been a retrofit or aftermarket modification to your X.

If so, does that mean you have owned it since it was new, you know the owner(s) or what?

it is a N/O[normally open] switch? it looks like a 3 postion switch,which is N/O

Was gonna suggest this.

My thoughts:
A security feature (aftermarket)
--- Cuts off fuel?, The alarm sound? Immobilizes the ignition..

Some sort of extra light..
--- Rear fogs? Some sort of Underglow Neon.... That may have been removed

Seat heater..
--- Maybe even for a different seat

Subwoofer cutoff switch if you have/ had one?

Getaway/spy mode.
--- cuts of brake lights and such...

There used to be a license plate cover up.
--- Flippy plates or Curtain frame..

I wont go further, the ideas will just get crazier.

Looks like the after market seat heater switches I had in my Explorer.

yes that' s right ! We don't have the requirement for fire extinguisher but I'm not so sure about the 1st aid kit.

Nice ideas but the button does nothing at all. Wat I did remember is that the previous owner had a back screen installed ( not sure if aftermarket ) on the back of the mid console.

he did removed this after a while maybe it was the power button but not sure
