Hi, I think it something to do with the internal alarm sensors..you can
turn it off via this switch,when for instance you lock a pet in the
car,and it doesn't keep setting the alarm off.

It disables the alarm system sensor that detects movement within the vehicle.
If it's like the one on my car, it's a non-persistent setting: you have to
press the button each time you want to disable the motion sensor, otherwise
the sensor is enabled by default...

It is also used to disable the sensors from reacting to air pressure changes
caused by wind if you leave your windows partially down when locking the car.
