Mystery Button on Steering Wheel

[Paul in Illinois]

Hi Folks, first time poster here. I’m the proud owner of a 2025 Lariat Hybrid. I traded in my 2005 Ranger for the Maverick and am very pleased with my new vehicle.
My question is this. On the left side of my steering wheel is a button with an icon of a vehicle with three lines underneath it. When the button is pushed I see nothing new on the instrument cluster. I see no mention of this in the manual and my google searches have turned up nothing. Can someone tell me what this button does? Thanks in advance.

Well thank you. I’ve only experimented with the adaptive cruise briefly and rarely use the cruise control at all which explains why didn’t see any indicators on the instrument cluster. Appreciate the help.

Paul,

If you hold it down for ten seconds it goes into roadrage mode and let's you safely tailgate at a following distance of three feet.

Now I'm interested in the next button down, the smiling, hands-in-the-air hanging upside-down guy. Isn't an option on older XLs.

My guess is that's for lane keeping.

XLTs also not an option for Lane Centering.
Requries the DIY ACC MOD to have it.

This is the exact reason the owner's manual was invented.
It's all in your manual. You need only read it to find the treasures within.

While true, perusal of a 572 page document can be daunting...
It helps to have a pdf version for search, but sometimes the issue is knowing what to search for.
Myself, I like perusing, but I spent a lot of years reading technical manuals.
Not everyone is so inclined.

Yep, nobody reads anymore. It’s all in the owners manual.
Asking about a single button is fine but reading the manual through like a book is best.

My 2024’s manual stayed on the back of the toilet for three months. I learned all kinds of shit !
:’P

my owner's manual is still nicely shrink wrapped in the glove compartment.
But, downloaded on my phone.
