Default Can someone tell me what these 2 things are and how do I use them?

So the first pic is some little thing located next to my headlight switch. What is it used for and how do I use it?

2nd pic is from my rear view mirror. I think if I press the button the mirror autodims at night but is that all? I see a light to the left and right of it.

Thanks in advance!

Default They are explained in the manual but just in case you don't have one

1) The swtich turns 'follow me home' lighting on or off. When on (1 position) the fogs turn on and stay on for 30 seconds when you lock the car.

2) The button turns the autodimming feature of the rear view mirror on and off.

Thank you but my manual doesn't mention about No.1, its like it doesn't exist to them. FOr #2 I figured that but whats the little light on the right side? And how exactly is it dimming the mirror?

The sensor on the right of the switch is the photocell that detects the incoming light
