Default Unknown Button ??

I have recently purchased a 1999 996. The original manual was missing, but I was able to get another one. The manual doesn't discuss one of the buttons. It is the bottom rocker on the left side of the stereo (see pic), just below the wing extension button.

I can't figure out what this does?

Any help? Thanks

ummmm.... toilet paper reload button. Kidding.

its a hack to the garage door, pull the panel out and trace the cable, there will be a garage remote on the other end.

Traction Control, if pushed you should get a light on the dash saying it's on etc.

Yeah, looks like the PO was a mad modder, 2 hack buttons.

Good stuff actually.

On a glass top targa, that botton retracts the top. I you case, PO must have installed it for use as a 'garage door opener'; the mod is discussed under that topic. Do a search.
