    Guys,

    I just bought a peugeot 206. I don't know anything about car (not even driving :)). By mistake I pressed a push button near gear attached in the image, can anyone please let me know what is it and how to release it?

    Thanks

    could be the cigarette lighter :D

    more likely to be the shift lock button to take it out of gear if the battery is disconnected.

    Have you ever been in a car before OP?
    Do you know what the controls are for?
    In relation to how you go about releasing it - if it doesnt pop up after the car has been started for a minute or so, I would say its not working.

    That would be the self destruct button, if I were you I'd start running.

    Look at the image on the button. It's a stick with a snake coming out of it. What you've done is release a snake into the back of the car. St. Patrick will never forgive you.

    No I was serious, it's not a pisstake.
    Have been in car before but never observed such things :rolleyes:

    If the OP hadn't already posted elsewhere about learning to drive and importing a 206 I'd be skeptical. I reckon it's a genuine mistake!

    play nice!

    Now for the 2 button behind that button. You should have a go with those to see what they do!

    Afaik that button in early 206 models activates the panic room. You may have to smash a window to get out of the car.

    I hate to ruin it for everyone, but since it seems the OP may have been serious, it's a bit unfair to let the slagging to continue.
    This thread in AH could be of interest to yee:D
