Can't see it in pic. I dunno, find a way to test all dash lights. I know the E70 is new, but eventually someone will find a way. I wouldn't be surprised if the owner's manual leaves things out because each area of the world gets a diff manual. It may be a function not available in the US, but they have the dash light for it anyway.

For example, all X3s have a rear foglight dash light, but NA-spec X3s dont have the rear foglight capability. Not mentioned in owner's manual, but the light is there.

No, I believe that's symbolized with a blue high-beam symbol with "A" on the corner. (Kinda like how our auto headlight switch position is)

if it's lit up right when you turn the car on, it must be that the car is "checking" it, so it probably is an active feature....but I
