Hey all,

So I've found this button in front of my cup holders and I gave absolutely no idea what it does and I can't seem to find anything about it so I'm a bit stumped haha.

​​​​​​Would anyone happen to know?

 

From the UK 2011 XF Owner's Handbook - suggests it's a power socket location in that storage compartment on European specification .....




..... so the round black and silver component is likely to be a pull out blanking plug?

I have a cigarette lighter (remember those, what are they called?) plug there. Old fashioned Aux power source ...
It has a flip-up plastic cover on the top.

Oh really, wow! Haven't seen an old fashion cigarette lighter in a while!
I'll have a proper look at it after work, I haven't been game enough to touch it because I had no idea what it was haha

 

That's the ashtray, an optional extra. As GGG said, very likely to be a blanking plug in there (like in mine). You may also find one in the rear, at the back of the centre armrest, by the vents.

 

It was an optional extra called "The smokers pack"

 

Rare to find a sales photoset with this console compartment open. Here's one with a lighter or possibly the more usual blank plug in position.

Looking closely at your 'button', that may be an actual lighter.

 

I had no idea there was an optional called "the smokers pack".

​​​​​​It did indeed turn out to be a lighter port with the blank plug sitting in it.
