    Power Take Off, used to power hydralics on dumps, live bottoms, ect. I don't think that is what your switch is for.

    It's not a PTO switch. The ATC works with your ABS and ECM. If one wheel spins, braking will be applied to that wheel. If both wheel spinds, the ECM will cut engine throttle to stop the spin.

    The one beside it, because of it's location and it is a gear symbol, I would guess you have some kind of gear reduction axles. Especially if the truck is spec'ed out for heavy haul. They'll use a 18 speed or automatic with planetary wheel end reduction axles to distribute the work load. You would turn it on when under a heavy load and off with a light load or empty. What tranny do you have?

    You're at a shop, ask them. Or if you still have the owners manual in the glove box, all that info will be in it. You can download an owners manual also.

    The mirror thing according to another TTR thread, you press the trip reset button 4 times.

    Trip button thing didn't work. But maybe because I have a different trip "button"?

    I have an up and down button and a set button in the middle. I also have an LCD screen that those buttons control. The LCD has 4 trip odometers, regular mileage odometer, average and instant MPG, time and alarm, and engine hours. Remember that my temperature gauge is on the mirror.

    It's a PTO switch in my 2004 T2000. If you have a printout of your ecm dump it'll show PTO hours if equipped.

    Yeah the snowflake is for the refrigerator and to set the mirror from C to F you need to remove the mirror and press the button on the back side of the heated glass.

    PTO POWER TAKE OFF Generally associated with an extra power unit like a winch I believe.
