    Whats this thing do?

    Im getting prepped to get my Riviera project next Saturday. Something thats been bugging me since I looked at it is what this switch does. I have the owners manual and skimmed through the service manuals and cant find it refered too. Its in the below pic in the upper left hand corner. Just left of the steering column
    I linked this pic from the 'What its supposed to look like' thread.

    That "thing" is used to reset the trip odometer. Push it up and turn it to reset.

    It normally has a rubber cover on it to make it easier on your thumb and finger.
