ICON on my dash - what is it?

[Carlitos_92]

Yup, im like that I like the creep forward option... so its mostly useless for me... maybe if i lived where there were San Fran type hills(your only know if you ever were there).. so for most with a auto transmission this isnt a awesome or even that useful.. BUT this tech is a god send for those that drive a stickshift still... one less thing you need to mess with when youre on a incline...This feature alone almost makes a 5/6 speed worth owning again.

I used to feel that way when I first got my truck, but after a few weeks of living with it, I love it. It does take re-training some muscle memory, especially for 3-point turns and other things, but so does the dial shifter IMHO.

"Creeping" has no practical value to me unless I'm trying to annoy the vehicle behind me at a stop. However, being able to take my foot off the brake pedal definitely has practical value to me.

OK maybe this is a silly question, but I can't find the answer so I thought I would ask. If I hit this button with a hand inside a circle it says ON. What exactly is ON?

You have 30 seconds till self destruct…

interesting, mine is in a different location unless I'm misremembering.

Mine is on the center console just aft of the gear selector knob. I leave mine on except when going through a car wash and I don't want the stop-start-stop going on. I can just press on the brake and regulate how fast I go through the initial spray and final blow dry.

Just remember to shut it off before you drive thru and auto car wash. Have run into this already. hahahaha...

I keep my vehicle on auto-hold and in fact I have never pushed that button.
I have come to love auto-hold

How you engage auto hold.

And remember to turn it off when going thru carwash

Wait, so it's not the ...
- Wax On
- Wax Off
Button?

Edit: No clue how I missed the opportunity to include this gif in the initial post. Forgive me, I had failed you all

You push the Auto-Hold button.

very good, thanks for posting that. I couldn’t find it anywhere. The icons page doesn’t show it as an icon.
Hard to search for it when you don’t know what to call it.

Stop hold. If the vehicle comes to a stop you can let your foot off the brake and it won't roll forward until you push the gas.

I love that feature, especially in traffic

 

[AlpineKid74]

Auto Brake Hold. Ahh, that makes since.
I thought it was the button to order french fries but they never arrived.

did you mean 'make sense'? Since is not there. Get it? Don't get mad, I do it all the time. Use the wrong spelling or wrong word.

 

[mylittleMAV]

Super useful in drive-thru lines or very stop-and-go traffic.

I just went and used it today in traffic. It was great! I'm glad I found out what it was!

 

[BlueberryMavvie]

I feel like I'm getting spoiled with this and might get me in trouble at work one day. Since the vehicles don't have them. Haha

 

[dochawk]

OK, I'll fess up.

We're messing with the OP.

It's actually the dispenser button for jellyfish antivenin, for when you get careless loading the launcher.
