This switch is used to turn on and off the
FCM and also to select your desired collision
alarm timing.
When the switch is held pressed, the ON/OFF
state of the FCM changes from ON to OFF
and vice versa. If you give the switch a short
press with the FCM in the ON state, you can
check the current alarm timing and also
change the collision alarm timing.
