Just colected my Scooby but didnt get a manual with it. Previous owner is still looking for it. Can anyone tell me what the switch on top of the steering column does ? Dont want to push it just in case its the ejector seats!!!!

 

That is the 'most posts by a newbie' button.
Nah, it's the 'Bright' switch. It, errrm, makes the digital clock, errmmm, brighter. Guys with grey imports (easily spotted due to having a rear wash/wipe) don't have them, and that makes them very bitter.

Is this not the switch for the sidelights when the ignition is off for parking? Certainly is on a classic.

 

Oh bugger! I think you are right there beastie...Bright was a rocker switch on the centre console wasn't it? Drat!

LOL @ Chuck

You will find that if you have your lights on and then turn the ignition off, your lights are turned off automatically, so the only way you can make the side lights stay on, is by using the switch on top of the steering column.

 

Thanks all. Even you Old Fart !!!!!! Id managed to figure out the "most post for a newbie" button all by myself. Aint I clever. And now that i know how to put my parking lights on there will be no stopping me.

 

I thought it was the drain your battery overnight switch

I remember a few posts like "I cleaned my interior and now my lights are stuck on, help!"

 

OH No! Don't press that button, whatever you do!!!!!

 

Too late. I pushed it when i had some passengers and I had passengers no more. Last owner must have converted it to ejector seat. Oh well !!! Need to find some new friends.

 

Great button, wish more cars had it.

I could drive around with lights on all the time (to warn other dopey drivers I'm there) and not worry about leaving them on when the engine's off.
