it s the trans shift control.

keep it on power (that is what jeeps without the switch are set to)

in comfort it just elongates the shift time to make it "smoother"

i don't know what it is. the pic makes the word above "power" and the writing below the switch unreadable. what does it say?

96 is correct. My cousin has the same thing in his. Leave it on power and forget its there. Its a pointless, trying to be fancy, design.
