just in front of rearview mirror is a plastic housing for camera for precollision assist system. on the driver's side of the housing is a small little button that I cannot find in the manual. What is it, and what happens if my kid pushes it? thanks for responses.

thanks ,very helpful. So I guess nothing happens to change anything when it is pushed. It raises another question which is when I get in the car on a hot summer day, the temp will register well above 100, then goes down as the car cools off. this, then, seems to tell the interior temp of the car on the screen. . Is there a gauge that tells the exterior temp around the car?

Temp on the touchscreen in the middle of the dash is your cabin temp thermostat setting and it won't change unless you twiddle a knob.

Depending on your trim level, there is a outside temp indicator in the gauge cluster display. It will move around based on what it's seeing, but it's usually not THAT far off what the ambient outside is.

Funny, ~50 years ago seeing an ambient temp gauge used to be a "luxury" reserved for Cadillacs and such. With the advent of fuel injection, engine computers needed to know the outside air temp anyway, so it was being measured even before OEMs got generous and started displaying it for the driver...
