Default If I remember correctly, it disarms the alarm when motion inside the car is detected.

The one above disarms it so outside movement doesn't trigger the alarm.

Default Top one allows the car to be locked if you're parked on a really steep hill or a flatbed

(otherwise the alarm will sound because it thinks the car is being stolen on a flatbed)

Middle one allows the car to be locked even if you have interior motion (like if you left your dog in the car while you ran into the store)

Bottom one opens the trunk, but I'm sure you knew that

Default soooo if you dont have a middle one, does this mean you dont have interior motion detection...

or does it mean you cant turn it off?

Default It was standard, so I'm guessing hit logo either wore off or was never there

But it should work

Default I think that feature was taken out on later year models.

I think if it's a blank switch like gofast951 then it he doesn't have it.
