What does this button do?

From CEM to VEM, from LED to lightbulb and more. If you have an electrical problem, like a broken info-centre, search for answers in this category. This is also the place to be when you expect the problem to be of an electrical nature...

How come you couldn't find the button in the instructions manual?
I did find it there when I looked for it.

Anyway, it only makes the two pair of long range lights (in the pop ups and the normal light clusters) to go on at the same time. You barely notice a difference on the road, but i like the fact that when you signal, it makes an extra pair of light to go on.

Expecialy here in Holland, where the people are not used to looking in the mirrors of the car, it deffinitely makes them pay attention to you :D
