Wow, that's a whole bunch of wild guesses!

The switch there is either for the alarm, as stated by others, or it's for the kiddy lock-out for the rear power windows on 4-doors. Otherwise someone else has rigged the car for something.
BTW, all 900s have four back-up lights. Pontiac thought they were doing something new. The official term is "side guidance reversing lights" and I love them.
I wanted to use a switch like that on the cornering lights (the white lights on the corner that light up when the turn signal is latched on). When you're zipping down the Thruway and visibility drops, they help. Either heavy snow or fog or really heavy rain, when the stuff comes down so hard that having your headlights on is a detriment, I wanted to turn them off, turn on the fogs and turn those cornering lights on to light up the sides of the road and keep going. (headlights only illuminate the precipitation, which doesn't help you get where you're going) Your car already has rear fog lights (I'm assuming a 4-door again here) since the US-market cars have them wired up as brake lights. Have you ever wondered why the inner brake lights are way brighter than the outer ones? That's it. Another European innovation, the rear fog light is a very bright red tail light to keep you from getting rear-ended in bad visibility on the Autobahn.

The sunroof switch would be ahead of the shifter (large pushbutton size rocker switch) and it would either be twin arrows or "open/close" lettered.

Nice tries, all.
