button next to headlight switch

[swijo]

I have a 2024 XLT ecoboost with the tow package, which I got in January. About 2 weeks ago while waiting on my wife to finish a doctor's appointment I was "messing around" with the settings on the and found a button next to the headlight switch. I pushed it with both the engine running and not running and was unable to see an icon on the dash light up have not tried to push it while driving. I have checked the owner's manual front to back several times and have not even seen a picture of this button. Hope someone here will know what if anything this does.

Hint: It's with the lighting controls. Look at the picture closely.

I thought it was the fart gas expulsion vent actuation control... No?

I know most people don’t read their car manuals anymore, but damn it would solve a lot of common questions if people did.

It’s amazing how many people don’t know what so many buttons/icons/switches do in something they paid tens of thousands of dollars for. If I spent 30k on a watch, you can bet I’ll know what every little gear does in that thing.

I fully understand.
It should have been explained and diagrammed in the owner's manual.
There are so many warnings and cautions in the manual. Ford is so focused on covering their that they, fail, miss, omit, to properly explaining and diagram some the basic features of the vehicle.
Not every buyer is a long time experience vehicle owner.
Some are first time vehicle buyers and that should be taken into consideration also.
Stay safe

Except "swijo's" question.

Austin,
Believe it or not the explanation or information for that button is not covered in the manual. No matter how many times I looked for it.
I couldn't find a diagram or an explanation for the cargo light button in the manual. Whether you pay $30,000 for a watch or a truck, it's hard to read something in a manual if it's not printed in the manual.
Perhaps, if You or Anyone else can find it in the manual. Please take a screenshot and post it.
It would be appreciated and helpful.
Thank you,

If only someone could tell me where to load the squid for launching?

That's the button that triggers the passenger ejection seat! I didn't know what it did either before pressing it... the wife still hasn't forgiven me.

That one puzzled me when I first noticed it. I wish it had an icon that showed up on the dash so I know if it’s on or not when I’m driving. Maybe it does, as I haven’t tried the button while driving yet?

I don't disagree with your point, but for the record, I don't see the cargo light ANYWHERE in the online manual I have. It isn't even in the image of the headlight switch on page 92. I am pretty good at navigating manuals, but this light/switch isn't mentioned by name, image, function, anything.
