    ………there’s a button on the dash that says PWR-ECT. if you switch it to PWR a light comes up on the display by the speedo? i've got a british manual for the car, but its an import so the info doesnt fully correspond, and theres no mention of this button in there anyhow. i havent noticed any difference in drive, nothing 'appears' to happen when its switched, but im just curious, any ideas? :o

    I’ve got an imported ‘93 Toyota that has this button but on the centre console, it also has a bright red button with Japanese writing next to it that I’ve never plucked up the courage to press. Anyone got any idea what it is?
