idk what the hell that is... cuz i have the base model... but that my friend right there is the drawing of the rear whiper.... with the spray thingy on it... so im guessing its either the control for that or for it to squirt like a fetish porn movie

^lol no cause the switch on the right closes the vents for that, i can't figure out what it does, it doesn't do anything to the wipers i don't think.

Lol, KD.
I was told that the slider is used to allow outside air in through the center vents. Similar to the slider on the HVAC, but the vent slider on the HVAC allows outside air in through all the vents while the center vent slider only allows outside air in through the center vent (assuming you have the HVAC slider on recirculate).
I just checked. Yes, it is specifically put there to allow outside air through the center vents only.

like concentrating the outside air through the main vents?.... like air coming from the engine bay to regualte temp or something?

Crack you window, drive on the interstate or the likes and turn everything off HVAC related and move the slider on the vent, you should notice either warm or "cool" air coming in only from the center vents, assuming the HVAC slider is set to recirc and not vent.
