Yep, there is a second knob like that in my car too near the ECU, its position is sealed with little plastic tags that look like they were fitted at manufacture.
It looks very much like the EZL Dial, but it's not the same.

The EZL Dial is nowhere near the battery, it's in the engine bay on the passenger inner arch near the suspension strut.

mine is exactly the same as yours 190ian.
one knob near the battery, set at position 1, even has EZL written on it if you look closely.
no need to adjust it, just leave it as it is.

This LINK answered the question for me a while back. (just focus on what MATT and COSMO wrote in the link)

It makes adjustments to the mixture according to the individual characteristics of the car and where its going to live most of its life!

Its set by the factory when its connected to their tuning analyser and should not be touched under any circumstances without the proper diagnostic equipment!

I thought that's what the main dial on the inner wing did?

This one's in the Battery/ECU compartment.

No mate. The one on the inner wing is for adjusting the advance and retard of the ignition and the other, behind the battery, is for fuel.
