You can always take a trip up to your local GM dealership and have them order you a copy of your car's manual. I got mine for around $30.

it might... be your hatch release button. but im not sure cuz my 82 berl has that between the two power window buttons, so if yours doesn't have a hatch release on the center console than it could be it. mine neverworked tho cuz the cable got stretched.

the fog lights are when u pull out the headlight dealy only half way. go to berlinetta.info and try e-mailin the guy and asking him. he's a big berlinetta guru, and also check out the media section and see if our berl's came w/ any special option that that could be.

Cruise control arm switch. I'm not kidding. Once it's turned On, you can use the steering wheel controls to set, accelerate, resume, etc....

the berlinetta was supposed to be so futuristic in design.... but i guess they didn't forsee the emergence of a little something called ergonomics! How the heck are you supposed to know that's related to the cruise control ?!?! My friend just got a Berlinetta and I can't even figure out how to work the turn signals!

wow, im glad mines an 82 and not an 84 when they made it all ergonomical. although on the bad side it's the first year out car and we all know those have got all the bugs and glitches.

Yup,.......

It's the Cruise ON/OFF switch. Chevy orriginally placed this button behind the radio, but moved it to the center console some time in 85 and continued putting it there until the end of production.

The 84 & early 85 style buttons were horizonally mounted while the later 85 & 86 buttons were mounted vertically. They originally had white "CRUISE" printing on them ( like the other power option buttons ) but the printing is often worn away.
