The one next to the S Sport mode button is for adaptive cruise control. If you do not have adaptive cruise control you will not have a button for it.

The owners manual can be found here. I think its section 3-19 Jaguar Automobile XK8 User Guide | ManualsOnline.com

I just did the replacement of the hydraulic hoses on my 2003 XK8. Not quite done but the top works.
When I took the header cover off the fabric came off and dumped brown powder all over. I am guessing that it used to be foam rubber.
There is a white connector that I don't know where it goes. Can any one share a picture of what it's supposed to look like under the header cover?
Along the way something happened to the emergency brake. It feels like the cable came off and there is a dash lite "BRAKE" in red.
It took me about 15 hours over 3 days so far. I am a senior citizen so I work at a slow pace. Even though, I feel like I just played football with some twenty somethings.
Thanks a lot Frankc. Without your write up I never would have tackled this job. I won't do it again either.

I could be wrong but that does not look correct. Form my experience with the roof the plug on the left is the plug for the header switch plugs not to the lights. This is a photo from my 1999. The only way to be sure is to match the wire color codes with each other using the oneline.

Though I am not too sure what you mean by "header cover" do you mean the bit where the light clips into?

In my original posting on Franks Story the third? picture down you will see I wrote underneath that the light connects to the White connector. If you keep reading further down I put that the visors are connected to the yellow connectors. Take a look if you want reassurance its all in there. https://www.jaguarforum.com/showthread.php?t=75123&p=1094300&viewfull=1#post10 94300
Another point. You asked about a loose black wire? If you go back to my original posting you will see a photo of a single black wire over the brace bar in my photo. I assume it has something to do with the speakers?
This is from my original posting showing the single black wire, which I admit I had forgotten all about until I browsed the posting again.

Here's the link to the wire under the passenger side rear speaker cover.

Know that both white connectors on the left and right will interchange with each other. That is the problem many have had in the past.
