What the hell does this switch do?

What is the little switch on the left side?
Also what is pulling the the whole lever doing with my headlights? Is the switching to high beams?

I have never had trouble figuring out how headlights in a car work before

I just disable the daytime running lights by pulling the big finned deal from under the dash.

The switch that goes left / right

That's for the cruise control! That stalk was first used in the 1981 G-Body cars (Regal, Cutlass, Monte Carlo, etc.)

If I remember right, there's a button in the end of the stalk that will turn the cruise on /off. When it's on, you will get a little "speedometer" looking light on the dash (green, I think). That little switch is the accel/resume and coast button.

Here you go since your letters have rubbed off. Switch it to “on” and mash the button on the end to set cruise.

Oh yeah .... I knew I was foggy. The button on the end is the set/coast. The arrow is confusing.

I think I just left mine in the on position all the time... Hit the set button when I wanted it.

I'll have to try it see if it works.

Now how do i turn on my high beams?
