What is this button?

Hi guys I recently bought a 2014 528i and after looking in the glove department I found this switch which is in the image. I'm not too sure it's the valet feature since its already in the center console box.

Did you notice anything different when you switched it? My guess is it has something to do with allowing fresh air to flow into the glove compartment, similar to a normal vent switch you'd see in the rest of the cabin.

Not in the car right now though, plus I've never noticed this, so I might be 100% wrong haha.

Yup... It's the latch for the fuse box door.
