I have an LE and there are three or four blank positions for additional switches. I was just curious does anbody know what functions the switches would control. I was thinking a list from left to center counsole would be good. One is probably for fog lights but the others elude me.

Definitely NOT for fog lights. Those are switched on the turn signal / light stalk. One is for VSC. It is also used for the factory bluetooth in certain applications. Don't know what else would go in there.

In the center console, opposite the aux input, is a blank for the heated leather seats switch.

Even the manual doesn't specify what the two blanks (or three for people without VSC) to the left of the steering wheel are for.

Looks like this question goes out to someone outside North America to answer...

One can be used for VSC

One can be used for the bluetooth

One can be used for the RS3200 status monitor

On Philippine model SECURITY , HEADLAMP LEVELING DEVICE(HID) then blank, other markets has the VSC.

Thanks all for the information! The fourth "blank" position from the left is of course power mirrors, which I think are on most Corollas. How is the HEADLAMP LEVELING DEVICE (HID) set up - as an automatic system on and off or something manual like the power mirrors. Why would this be available as most of the time fixed position headlights are used to guarantee factory alignment. Just curious again. If it is a cool enough feature someone may want to add the setup.

This is what's written on the Owner's Manual

MANUAL HEADLAMP LEVELING DIAL
The level of the headlights can be adjusted according to the number of passengers and the loading condition of the vehicle.

From left to right SECURITY , HEADLAMP LEVELING DIAL ( 1.8V AND 2.0V VARIANTS,W/ HID), VSC/TRC OFF SWITCH(PHILIPPINE MODEL DOESN'T HAVE THIS), OUTSIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR SWITCHES(2.0V AND 1.8V HAS POWER FOLD)

They won't always be for the same thing in every country either.

In North America, they're not used for much, the Corolla here doesn't get many of the features other countries get.
