THe Bentley states it as part of a "late version". Also has different
vacuum hose layout. If you bought your Bentley when you bought your

Bentley seems to think there is a single, dual function switch. Most of
the
other posters think so, too. I'm going to head out and take a closer look.
Maybe even take some stuff off the engine!
