Toggle Switch Panel

There seems to be a "blank" spot, to the far right of the panel. Does anyone know what goes there??

Either park assist or heads up display.

Thanks. I guess I'll have to figure out how to put a dummy switch there, like we did for the rear fog light on the R-56.

What annoys me more is the blank button where the heated windshield would go for international models. No matter how you config your car, you get this blank button in the middle - irritating!

+1 Thank you! It was driving me bananas trying to figure out what that extra blank was for.

You do get it
In America it's called 'defroster'

I'm confused. Why do the international models have a toggle switch for the defroster?

No, it's the heated FRONT windshield that the US does not get. You cannot fill in that blank button in the US. The rear defroster is the button to the left of it. And it's a button, not a toggle switch.
