2008 Range Rover Vogue TDV8 Stornoway Grey

Any ideas what this button is for?

Looks like an aftermarket button down in the drivers footwell. Doesn't seem to do anything that I can detect.

when pressed and if the trafficmaster is fitted and connected , a voice call is made to the trafficmaster call centre and you then converse with them re road directions or vehicle breakdowns..

Oh really, I thought you were joking. I didn't know that existed.

Weird place to put a cheap little button.

not really, the electronics are easily fitted in that footwell rather than behind the dash..

2016 Range Rover Autobiography SDV8 Santorini Black

Definitely not standard.....

It’s a red button, so it’s probably not best to press it. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

It could be the abort button for the built in WEA (wallet emptying application) ECU that's an integral part of a range rover, of course, it's not connected to anything!

I presume it's a nitrous button like of Fast and Furious. I'll pluck up the courage to press it when I've got some clear road ahead of me.

I have pressed it. Nothing happened.

I'll take the trim panel off at some point.
