P-switch on a 6.0??

New guy here; quick ?
A buddy was looking at an 06 (I'll leave that alone) and there was a switch on the dash marked P on/off. I've done a search on the 6.0 site and posted the question there, no response, yet. Now this is just botherin me cus I cant find out what thats for. Thought it might be for power heated seats, but can't find the answer. Anybody know what that is?
Thanks much, have a great weekend

Assuming:

1. It's an OEM switch
2. It's near the ESOF switch (and I think to the right of it)

then it's very likely for a power-sliding rear window at the back of the cab.

I think all you guys are wrong. That switch is for a sign and flashing lights to come on when the engine PUKES. Lets any passing wrecker know they need a tow.
