Garage List
What is the dummy 5th button left of steering wheel.

Next to the night vision and heads up on/off. Nothing in the owners manual.

I figured ejector seat, machine guns, oil slick release, or rear window armor plate.

The Driver Assistance Switch Panel (#1) has 5 buttons based on how the car is optioned:
  • #2 - blind spot detection
  • #3 - collision assist (there's two types depending on how car is optioned...either camera based with city mitigation...or radar based which is used with adaptive cruise control (ACC) with highway braking etc (this is a shortened explanation...there's way more info about this in the TIS)...the "look" of this icon also changed sometime around the 2015 or 2016 model year
  • #4 - lane departure
  • #5 - night vision
  • #6 - head up display

The pic came from the newtis.info website. I believe the image in my post above was found when I was doing some searching for f10 5 series infor or f01 7 series info...but the switch has the same buttons.

A quick search using my f06's VIN...I found the info for the f06/f12/f13 which has basically the same info...but a different image: https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/f...stems/Csst8sub

my 5th button actives a vacuum pump that sucks the air out of my trunk and kills the hookers inside.

Shouldn't the hookers be sucking the air out of your pump, or did you go for a cheap aftermarket mod on that one?
