[xj40] what is it please-just curious

on my 92 XJ6 there is a black knob that projects thru the floor
under the gas pedal. from it leads a short black wire connected to
a small blue cylinder about the size of an AA battery, from thi a
wire disappears under the carpet underpad. It seem completely
passive but can anyone enlighten me what it does.Having another
trouble free year of ownership, think this car will run forever.
