Am not a European owner, but can i say something, bro?

THEE HEE HEE

I think the other blank spot is reserved for the right-hand drive version of the car. For accounts of economies of scale and stock convenience, typically manufacturers fit everything all in, just like the day our Volvos run out of the factory, with most of the optional item-wiring setup.

Anyway, again, sorry...

hey bear, dude, never say sorry to me. okay bang? now, the reason i said european is that the models in malaysia are similar to the european ones, the US models and the odd ones. so intead of typing european/asian/australian/south american/canadian, martian, etc. my hands were tired. :grin: so, if i get what you are saying, you also have a blank button on the opposite side of the sport button? hmmmmmmmmmm, if that is so, i think i have a great idea for a solution to the super hot area under the hoods of our cars. i'll get back to everyone when i dfigure this out. later

It was where the instantaneous forward/reverse switch used to be i.e. you didn't have to move the shifter.

After reading this forum Volvo decided there were some Volvo drivers who had the capacity to create mayhem by using it so they deleted it.

Greek, it was for the combination super duper boost system, eject oil out the tail pipe to make the Spectre agents slide out of control and crash, and the cone of silence so you don't have to listen to your wife complain about your driving. I'm surprised you didn't know that. My sons has this. You must be driving a cheap knock off version.
