Swith On Dashboard - Whats It For

[John Ward]

Hi, I'm a new owner of a Toyota Hilux Surf 2.4 Turbo Diesel, 'H' Reg LN130, can anyone tell me what the knob to the right of the steering wheel and slightly down, does, it rotates (4 or 5 full turns) but does not appear to pull out. There was some white picture / wording on it at some stage but its worn off now. Thanks, Lohn

It's the idle-up knob for increasing the revs when using a winch, or for warming the engine quicker on cold mornings.
