Default Choke Light?

Has anyone ever put a flashlight in their center information console and seen the different lights that could be there? I was doing this the other night to figure out which light belonged to the CHECK ENGINE light and I noticed one of the lights is for CHOKE. I've never seen this before.

Does that thing actually ever come on? Just one of those random things I found on this car which I found interesting. I didn't crack my owner's manual open to see what it was for this go around. This was on my 85.

Was this information panel used on other GM model vehicles perhaps?

I think that is supposed to come on when you miss a shift, Actually I have no idea since fuel injection engines have no choke.

My guess would be that the DIC did not change since the '84, which may have had a choke?
