P switch on dash???

Hey 6.0 brother/sister!
A friend (of a friend, of a...) was looking at an 06 350. On the dash is a switch marked P on/off. What is that? I was thinking it might be power heated seats, am I wrong. Not a big thing, but I can't find the info anywhere. Thanks

It's the backup sensor switch. Here's a picture, it's right next to the 2wd/4wd switch and to the left of the radio and climate control ****.

The P switch is part of the backup sensor system and it disables the audible signal you get when backing and get close to an object. Typically, you would use it if your backing with a trailer.

I actually own a King Ranch but that picture is from a web site, it's not mine. It looks nice but a little toooo much plastic wood for me. HH60FE, man you gotta learn how to duck!
