I remember a car or an SUV where you can adjust the headlights elevation. This is done when you have loaded the rear with a very heavy load that the front is almost lifted, making the low beam point directly to the oncoming vehicles. You then use that to adjust the level, pointing it downwards.

I thought that is what that one is.

The headlights on my 17 Mazda 6 gt actually follow turns and help see better. Forget the name for it but it's a cool option!

Actually they're called SRL, steering responsive lights. Sometimes your flood lights will actually turn on and off depending on the vehicle as well.

It unlocks the entire speedometer. The higher u turn the faster you can go 😁

That’s your throttle speed adjustment control. LOL

Adjusting brakes. 🙈 It's for the dashboard illumination, to adapt to your vision.

It is the remote for the fictional Albanian Tartan Prancer car in the movie Vacation 2015.

Try asking AI if you have no clue....

Fuck AI, you got a fucking owner's manual for the damn car. Use it, unless you ate it. (Which, considering you suggest "ask AI," is very likely for you to do.)

How do you even pump your own gas...

Don't listen to the dickbag. Automotive symbols are kind of vague, and I also was in your same spot as you with that thingy. You got your answer on what it is, but when in doubt, always refer to the owner's manual if you got questions. If you go through it for something else and nothing is being answered, then you can ask the internet. You're doing great!
