2014 ES 350. Switch has a pic of either open doors or extended mirrors on it.

It's the switch that controls the dome lights when you open the doors. on, or off.

Thanks Mike for the quick response. I will check that out now that I know what should have been obvious. I just bought the Lexus and I am checking it over to make sure everything works. When I pushed the button the light came on for a few seconds. Then I thought it had something to do with the mirrors...ugh. Again many thanks for the comeback. Mystery solved. GAP

Other hidden gems to discover:

Mirror selector switch on R or L, the outside mirrors angle down in Reverse but if the
mirror selector switch is in the middle position it turns off the reversing view feature.

Mode button on the left steering wheel spoke press quickly changes from AM - FM - XM - BT etc.
Mode button held longer is a mute of stations and a pause for playback sources such as BT or CD.

Reaching through the driver's side back door handle (rather than the driver's handle) unlocks all four (4) doors.

Rocker switch between Map and Menu will zoom the map and scroll through any screen list: stations, songs, destinations, phone #'s.

Wiper arms can (and should) be pulled up along the glass (not away from the glass) to the "winter" position,
this will allow raising the arm away from the glass for snow scraping or wiper insert replacement.

After setting the driver's seat memory and with only one (1) fob in the car, press and hold one memory button and then press
the door panel "unlock", hold until you hear the chime. Now the seats will travel to your memorized position when you unlock the car.
Note: it is responding to a locked door, if the car is unlocked when you open the door it will not move until you start the car.
