On the right side of my instrument panel just below the parking brake control are 5 switches. Starting from right to left they are: Cruise, Set/Res, Aux Heat, (a Red Battery Symbol) and a green switch that isn't identified. My question is, what is the switch with the lighted red battery symbol for and is the green unidentified switch used or is it a spare? Thanks in advance.

Until you get a more nearly accurate answer, on my Breakaway, the red battery-symbol switch is the emergency start, which parallels the house and chassis batteries for starting if the latter is low. The green unmarked switch on mine is docking lights, but could also be basement compartment lights.

Thanks Rusty, I never thought of the emergency start issue. I almost needed it the other day so will keep the battery switch in mind.

On ours that green lighted switch turns on the cruise control so you can set your speed with the rocker switch.
