Default Empty space next to Power Sunshade and Headlamp washer buttons?

Does anyone know what function button is supposed to fill the empty space next to the Power Sunshade and Headlamp washer buttons?

So if I ordered my IS 250 with the luxury package and headlamp washers then I will have all three buttons with no empty spaces? I thought the power folding mirrors only worked when putting the car in reverse? Guess you do learn something new everyday.

So you mean that they still automatically tilt down when you put the car in reverse, you just don't have the option of power folding mirrors that would be controlled by a button? So I guess everyone in the U.S. has an empty space for the third button then?

You would think for a $30-$40k+ car they could at least give the U.S. market a different panel that only has two option button spaces.

It's the History Eraser Button, you fool !

--so what'll happen ?
That's just it! We don't know.
Maybe something bad...maybe something good
I guess we'll never know.
Cause you're going to guard it.
You won't touch it, will you? Oh, how long can trusty Cadet Stimpy hold out?
How can he possibly resist the diabolical urge to push the button that could erase his very existence?
Will his tortured mind give in to it's uncontrollable desires?
Can he withstand the temptation to push the button, that even now, beckons him ever closer?
Will he succumb to the maddening urge to eradicate history, at the mere push of a single button?
The beautiful shiny button.
The jolly candy-like button.
Will he hold out, folks?
Can he hold out?

By power folding mirrors he means the mirror assemblies that fold inwards towards the car, not the tilt in reverse feature.

The power folding mirrors button is on the door, not the dash. As seen in the video made by jinetix.

In Sweden it's for the heated windshield. It's heated at the bottom and at the a-pillar. So that the windshield wipers don't freeze at the winter.
