Panel Between Pedals And Steering Column

[Trying to Learn]

I have a 2008 LS460. The other day I was vacuuming the floor and happened to notice a panel above the pedals just below the steering column that seemed to be lose. It is attached on the front with 2 philips screw and in the middle towards the front of the car by hanging on to a tab. Anyway, on the right side above the accelerator pedal is a button with an outline of a tire and a knob with a white dot on it. You can turn the knob and it will click on one end of the rotation.

Does anyone know what the knob and the button with a tire outline is for? Thanks.

Nothing about it mentioned in the owners manual?

Cover for the knee airbags?

interesting, the switch next to it is the Tire Pressure reset switch, but I even pulled out the service manuals and cant find anything that references this knob. I am now curious also

The knob is for the volume of the lock/unlock "beep" the car makes when using the fob or the SKS system. All Lexus vehicles have had that knob...
