Default Anyone know what this is?

Anyone know what this six button unit was originally used for? It is marked "Ford Safety Package."
Was it a power window kit or something to do with the radio or something obscure?
The photo is from late 1966 and yes that is George Barris and the Batmobile.
Thanks for the help!

HUH?,Batmobile threads don't have a long life on the Hamb ,a concept car so probably no one knows,,

It's the switch to turn off the passenger airbag, in case you have a child in the front seat.

Even though that six button dash was before humanity developed a full appreciation for the Theory of Relativity, Ford was (and is) so advanced that they were already incorporating controls to handle unexpected asetroid impacts with earth or other unpredicted apocolyptic episodes. Thanks, Henry.

Some of you are a real welcoming & friendly bunch. My Post really has nothing to do with the Batmobile, but was I just trying to figure out what the box was originally used for before it was inserted into this car.
thanks
