That's a new one. How do you know it's a "Schalter" switch and where is it? Photo perhaps if it's non-standard?

EDIT - seems like Schalter is the German for "switch"?

FURTHER EDIT - the word "schalter" doesn't seem to occur in the 8020-page-long Nissan Service Manual - I don't have a 2009 handbook.

It's different on the later J10 but this explains its operation.

Here's the one in question in context:

That didn't appear in the J11 onwards
