Ya. Thats to show you which air you've selected. If you keep it on that one, you will constantly get fresh air into the car even though you have the air off. If you put it on the other one, it will close the vents, and then you won't get air into the car. If you don't believe me, keep it on the fresh air button, and select the upper (face) vents and go driving on the highway. If you lightly push the other one, it makes both buttons pop out and therefore no more light!
