3 buttons above 4wd switch
Ok fellas I am possibly looking to trade my truck in this week on a '15 Platinum CC 4x4 the dealer is working numbers and I should hear from my credit union tomorrow ........ If all goes well I will be driving to the dealer Friday to make the deal.
I have not seen the truck in person I have only seen pics.
My question is what are the buttons above the 4wd switch?
I can make out the center from the pic which is the traction control however there are two other spots which this truck does not have. I looked up pics of other trucks and I see a button that is to the left of the traction control but can't make out what it is?
Also is the large round button that is below the 4x4 switch the exhaust brake?
Thanks!

Ok thx!
Now for a Dumb question..... What's the difference?
I understand what the exhaust brake is and how it works...... But I thought that it was the hill decent control..... Through exhaust braking?????

Hill descent does not exist on DRW Super Duties.
Hill descent uses brakes and transmission/engine holdback to keep speed below 20mph (I think)

Hill hold, something different and listed as not being on DRW's does in fact work on my DRW.
"Hill hold" is available all the time and is not user set

Hill Start Assist (or Hill hold) is an invisible option that hits the brakes when you start out on a hill for you, giving you enough time to move your right foot from the brake to the accelerator without sliding backwards, because no one of course would ever use their left foot in a automatic to hold the brake. (sarcasm).
