recently purchased a 05 350z import with auto tip/tronic box
there is a button a carn't for the life off me figure out what it does next to steering wheel lowish down next to fog light and traction control on/off
is a small round push button seems to me marked (auto)
but does not seem to do anything??
also what is the difference when in snow or power mode next to heated seat buttons.
any help greatly appreciated.

 

I assume you aren't in the States...

 

I've only seen pictures of the snow button, but I assume it will put less power down when activated. I don't expect you to drive good in snow even with it.

I have no idea what the other button is. Pictures?

 

Since you said it is round, isn't that the aircond airflow control? Is this located on the centre console?

 

will post some pics up tommorow

 

Round button? Sounds like something a previous owner added on.

 

i have attached a photo off the button and is labeled auto
also attached a pic off the snow/power button what does it do in each mode

 

First pic doesn't look to be factory.

 

Folding mirrors?

 

worked it out lol the small round auto button when put car in reverse alters the mirrors to point down more
still not sure what the snow/power button does

 

That's awesome,too bad we didn't get those auto mirrors in North America. Not a big deal, just think it is a nice feature, especially considering this was a $50k car new in Canada

 

Snow mode flattens out and softens the initial throttle response, as well as making the transmission shift earlier and softer. Power mode does the opposite.

 

I've never seen those buttons before. I want the folding mirrors.. and the power/snow modes. Is this a non-US thing?

Also, you have an extra button that isn't labeled in the first pic. What does that do?

 

Iceman, you can retrofit a ‘mirror tilt down module’ from another car model or buy an aftermarket kit. You only really need to wire it for the passenger side mirror. You take power from the backup light wire and when you shift into reverse the module then applies a set amount of timed power to the down-adjustment wire for the mirror. When you shift out of reverse, the module automatically applies the same amount of timed power to the up adjustment of the mirror returning things to your normal setting. Pretty fiddly to tap into all the wiring, but doable.

I was going to have the gentleman who serviced my car install one, (he had put one into one of his own cars and said it was not to hard to do) but I never got around to it.

 

the unmarked one in picture 1 isnt a switch it is just a blank
