    Working on it.
    Pretty sure it is the self destruct button and should never be pushed, ever.

    That button is to turn on the stop/start feature when the truck comes to a stop. Use it mainly to save fuel.

    Well, when I used my Daddy money to buy my new truck he told me that I should just leave the vehicle running over night, so the engine was always warmed up and ready to go.

    Is this not true?

    Your Daddy has issues. Lying is one of his issues.

    Pretty funny first post though, no?
    Interesting sardonic view on first posters who don't read the manual.

    Not sure why anyone thinks they can or should pick on someone because they don't know an answer to a question
