Default Unknown Toggle Switch

Hello, I just bought a 2015 Mazda3 Sport. I'm loving it but can't figure out what one of the switches is for. It is on the dash, to the right and just below the steering wheel. There are no labels on it and I couldn't find anything in the owner's manual. It doesn't appear to do anything. Any help would be appreciated!

Is it a round switch? Mine is near my left knee? It may be under dash lights that they added at the port to add some extra profit for the dealers. On my 2015 Mazda3, I accidentally hit it occasionally and it would take a week before I noticed that I could see my feet at night while driving. Not sure why I needed to see my feet while driving, but someone thought it would be a good thing to add for $200.00. It is not bright enough to find something on the floor at night, but I have an easy way to tell which shoes I have on.

If it looks like an aftermarket switch, the prior owner could have added anything - fog lights, under vehicle lights, kill switch for something, who knows.

Post a picture.

That is an aftermarket switch, no telling what it does.

Trace the wires and see where they go.

Thanks, I will check with the original owners since it is aftermarket.
