That button is an electrical switch to tell the operator of the vehicle that the handbrake has been left on or partially on. It's connected to a wire that goes to the instrument panel and a red light. It's not really neccessary in the big scheme of things but it's a nice thing to have. Yours must have been removed due to a malfunction. If the wire that it was connected to is still there (maybe tucked under the carpet) you could get a replacement switch and get it hooked up again.
