If you're talking about the 85 dash (as in your profile), then that "Push" button opens the swing out ashtray,

Where I Keep Change and stuff.

well on my 83 there is a button between the seats for the cruse control, the windows and the rear whiper. my guess is you are asking about the cruise control switch. you have to turn it on before you can use the controls on the arm off the steering wheel.
