Dash button question

On an '05 there's a button to the right of the light switch with a "P" on it and a design.
Pressing the "P" and it lights up off.
What is that button for?
I couldn't find out on a quick scan of the manual.

No "P" on mine unless you are talking about the switch position for "parking lamps" but no button.

This is a wild guess, does it have automatic headlights? If so that may be the temporary disable for the lights... i.e. you push it and the lights are off, the next time you start the car they are on again. I have seen a few rental cars with a similar feature...
