'71 240z shifter console question


Recommended Posts

hi, I'm still fairly new to these cars. I have some questions regarding the shifter console. I understand the lever is the choke lever, and the toggle switch is for the rear defrost. What about that button that sits next to the defrost switch? It looks something like a hazard switch. And what is the blank slot for by the choke lever?

 

Thanks.

The intent of it was as an aid in the warming up of the car. In the US most dealers disconnected it due to safety concerns because the only way to reduce rpms with the lever at full throttle was to push it back to idle rpms. It was not controlled by the brake. This was not a cruise control unit, it was a strictly manual lever throttle control.
