Can anyone please tell me what the corner guide button does on the right of the steering wheel?


Cheers

I don't have one but my understanding is that the corner guide is a short vertical rod attached to the front nearside bumper. It is used by the driver to judge where the corner of the van is.

I guess the switch turns a light on so you can see the front corner at night :)

The switch extends and retracts the corner guide/pole itself. But the pole may be missing altogether.
