    I have looked in the owners manual and maybe I missed something but I’m trying to figure out what this button with the three squares on the steering wheel is for. I’ve seen the thing where it says to use it to customize screens on the gauge cluster. Does anyone know what it is actually for?

    It is your favorite screen. You can program it to bring that screen up when you hit it.

    I have it set to the TPMS screen.

    When stopped. Go to the screen that you want and hold that button.

    LS1 swap with nitros.
    That turns your airbags off for off reading in the desert.

    That's very important for off reading in the desert.

    I like to wander off in the desert and read a good book occasionally. Should I be turning my airbags off for that?
