Default What is the switch under the steering wheel?
I have noticed that some GX's have a switch under the steering wheel near your knees that is labeled MAIN and 2ND. What does this do and how come i dont have it?

2nd means that, it will start from the second gear (in case you got stuck in mud)

Yeah I know about that "button" on the console, This is a switch and dial under the steering wheel where your knees would be located when driving. Is it related to the push button 2ND START?

Ohhh main, this switch for Tire pressure sensors, if you have two sets tires. You just switch between Main and Second set.
