Well, they're the on-off switches for the cruise control, accessory circuit, spot lamps, and speakers...

The ACC switch does nothing on a stock bike, but is there for whatever you want to tap into it with. Anything from additional lighting to cooling fans. Whatever 12V unit you want to power from it.

The spot switch turns the spotlights on or off. On a stock bike the spotlights are only on with the low beam headlight.

LOL I am jealous the guy has a CVO and doesn't know what the switches do. I would find another dealer (if you bought it from one). They should have showed you how to operate the controls and switches.
