There is a cruise control switch like that on my 84 wagon. It is the on/off switch, and the set and resume control is on a lever on the right side of the steering wheel. (left hand drive models)

Have a nice life, Carl said that

Well it isnt factory fit, so after market, does your car have the hazard light switch on the colomn, if not it might of replaced it, would be surprised if it didnt operate your hazard lights.

PS if all else fails turn it on and see what it does.

I think its got something to do with central locking.... Not so sure about the thing on the dash though.
