welcome

small button is an over ride switch to let you move lever out of park if you have flat battery - there is a small lock on it - normally you would have to put your foot on brake before moving it out of park and into gear.

when you put it in low ratio did the yellow centre difflock light come on and the abs light up as well?

This section is for posting pictures about your vehicle, and as you have an 80 series it would be best posting in that section.
