Fake button discovered!

I've just noticed a fake button, and I've got no idea why it's there.
It's next to the wing mirror selector switch (the one with L/R on it).

Can someone please tell me if they have it too, and what's supposed to be there.

Ok, here's a pic. Sorry about the quality, but I was getting an autofocus error on my girlfriends camera (and the menus are in Polish), but you get the idea.

On JDM RX8s theres a button at that exact same location EXCEPT that it serves the function of power folding the side-view mirrors.

That "locks" the windows so your passenger cannot move the window up or down and driver maintains control of the window with switches.

I thought that was the small button next to it, that's the one I have, and that's what it does!
Surely they don't both do the same thing?

The one on the left is to lock your doors from inside the car, the one on the right is to lock the passenger window controls

SP; you do know these and all other buttons are described in your Owner's Manual, which if you don't have you can download by joining the Mazda owner's area.

No, the 'fake button' isn't described anywhere in my manual, and the door locking switch is absent from my car, I just have the ones above the handles.

BTW, it's UK spec

Lol! Well, I'm sure she'll feel honoured that you wanted to share that piece of information about yourself!
