Hidden Switch???

last night as i was taking the fuse out of my car ( radio drains on my battery, and it helps a little bit.) i noticed a very small flip switch It is right next to the small light on the drivers side floor board. I've never even seen it before, and dont remeber the previous owner telling me about it. What could it be for? i'll try it out in a little bit, only thing that can cross my mind is maybe my factory alarm??? Any other ideas, or anyone have one and know what it's for?

Well just to see what happens. I flipped the switch, and nothing drastic. Just the little red light for my alarm went into full on mode. So im guessing it's somthing for the alarm alright, but what exactly does it do??? Anyone have an idea?

It's your valet switch. Just in case you lost your remote you can still disable your alarm using that switch.
