There's a wheel-like control for cooling the glovebox interior, probably that.

This is LHD car but if you mean the wheel with the white marks on then as above it's  for air con glovebox.

Thanks for the responses. Didn't know I had that. Back to bedtime reading of the instruction book again?

It is very handy to have if you like or need to carry a bar of chocolate and if the glovebox is big enough to fit a bottle of water in.

First car I had it in was a Saab years ago.
