I'm pretty sure this means your car was restored after Oct 2024. These cars can be identified quickly on the street by the flaming tire tracks their burnouts leave.

Guys, that lever is for the quick release body to frame mount locks, allowing for quick frame offs!

I think it's actually used to push fluid into the turn signals.

Did anyone notice that the OP has a serious fuel issue? You might want to get some, fast! That being said, the button activates the solar arrays.

Also, it's Gigawatts (10^9).

My owner's manual lists it as the "Cloaking Device Actuator", or "CDA". Use it wisely.

Page #69 of the AIM clearly states thats the herbielever that activates the henway avoidence mode of controlled oversteer,and sometimes uncontrolled understeer, it should never be used on black ice tho because it causes spasm in the *IUD* circuit,,, Peace, Moosie



*Intentionally Useless Device

Oh, *tell* me about it.

I forgot to turn it off when I parked the car, and next day, this is what I found!



Then I remembered I forgot to deactivate it, so I flipped the lever and *bingo*!



Whew! It had me freaking out for a second there!
