That symbol is the “Detour / Alternate Route” button on the Porsche PCM (Porsche Communication Management) navigation system.

What it does

When you’re using the built-in GPS, pressing that button tells the system:

➡️ “Avoid the next major roadblock and reroute me.” It forces the nav to choose an alternate path around traffic, accidents, construction, etc.

Why it looks weird

The icon is meant to represent a “wiggly road” or diversion around an obstacle — Porsche used this symbol in PCM 2.x and PCM 3.0 systems (common in 2005–2009 models).

So yeah — it’s a navigation detour button, not related to lights or the map menu directly.

If you want, I can show you what the Porsche manual says about it!
