Default Secret Hidden Button/switch

I was under the steering wheel trying to replace a fuse, when I saw a round button switch. It is a toggle switch for something. It's in a 1995 LS400. Does anyone know what it is for?

I believe the one that is there on the 94 LS400 governs how loud the beep noise is when you lock the car..

Thanks guys. I just found it in the manual too. I was hoping it was for the hidden turbocharger or something.

If im not mistaken, on the first gens, you can turn the **** to different sound levels. On the second gens, its an on/off type thing.
