It's auto-pilot, push it and then just sit back and relax and it takes you wherever you want to go....



I'm kidding don't actually do that, because I have no clue what it does.

A salesperson told me it was a reset for the headlight sensor. What's that little bubble thing with the flashing red light then? The sensor itself I guess.

I think the bubble with the red light is security. The headlight sensor is built into the rear view mirror. I don't know what the button does...I pushed it a couple times and nothing bad happened.

It is only activated when it senses a Chevy to your left or right at a stop sign
