Default What are the non-used switch positions for?

I'm still looking for a fully-loaded 2016 or 2017, preferably without the panoramic moonroof. Question: A loaded model has five of the eight switch positions to the lower left of the steering wheel filled with auto headlamps, trunk release, HUD, heated steering wheel and Panoramic View Monitor. There are three unoccupied switch positions. Anyone know what might go in the other three? Non-US options maybe?

Another one is likely used for the JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) OEM factory Parking Pole option.





Here's one in action (although not on an RX).

Cool. Guess so that you can see the corner of the fender?

Yes, it provides a reference point for the front corner of the vehicle as parking spaces and home garages (if they have one) are typically tighter in Japan.

It would be good if they came up with some kind of sensor that "sees" how close the car is to something.....oh wait.
