S/BRAKE means "Speed Brake" When pulled at over 150mph it forces the trunk
lid open to slow the car down.

Subject: Controls of unknown function ('70 1600)
There are two controls on the dash I haven't figured out yet.
One is the one just below the wiper control, second down on the far left
of the dash. Here's a rough ASCII depiction of its label:
\ | /
\ | /
|\ /|
| \ \ / |
| ) O ( |
| / \ \ |
|/ \|
It appears to be a twist-only knob, and it seems to rotate perhaps a
quarter-turn.
The other control is labeled "S/BRAKE" on the center console next to the
radio and, when pulled, illuminates a round red light with a "B" on the
dash below and to the right of the fuel/temp/etc. gauges.
What are these controls?
