When you push the button, the pole lights up and comes comes up out of the bumper.
it's not an antenna, but it comes out like one.

It's so newb drivers can tell where the front bumper is easily.

U may see buses and other hard to park vehicles with those here in the states. They are so you can tell where the farthest corner of ur bumper is.

hence the folding mirrors too

totally going off topic, but the most hilarious story i have of my uncle in korea driving was we were stuck in traffic and i see him wedge between two cars. he rolls down my passenger window and tells me to pull the mirror in. im like wtf? what does that mean? after he tells me again, so i just do it by folding the mirror, and then he proceeds to move forward and just misses grazing the car next to me by inches...

parking in Japan can be a lot tighter than in the states this item is just an option on some Japanese market automobiles, just like the power folding mirrors, etc...
