Man, these guys are a tease. Still, nice to see Toyota dabbling in the viral marketing.

I'd have to vote sunroof too. Typically the dash and door buttons are all darker colors, and the upper buttons like the map lights are lighter. One more reason to suspect that this button is higher up, which makes me think sunroof.

Clearly this button controls the cover for the soon to be Prius-standard Mr Fusion. Press the open button, toss in some stale beer and banana peels, press the close button, and you're good for another 1500 miles.

Hmm... on second thought, if the button is for the hatch, then there shouldn't be a Close option.

Hmmm... folding mirrors???

How about the window blinds to keep the solar heat out?

Are you sure? I got the impression it was for opening & closing worm-holes. After all, being able to traverse space/time would use less gas.

That isn't a sunroof switch.

They look like this now...

my lexus has open/close for sunroof, as well as 2 buttons for tilt... however why are those two buttons differently shaped? Why use that for sunroof? Makes no sense... also white shiny plastic on overhead compartment?

Hm, I still cant think of anything else except sunroof... mirrors have one button for retract that is pushed in... fuel door wouldnt have close... power hatch in small car? makes no sense and it would have only close.

Don't you guys know anything - it's for the ejection seat hatch.
