In all seriousness though, according to the manual it should only be used during car chases. Apparently it releases a thick sheen of oil behind the vehicle and arms a set of spikes through Ford Sync.

I tested mine and was prompted by Sync, "Would you like to shoot a spike?"

ME: "Yes."

Sync lady: "Into the adjacent tire, door, or driver?"

ME: "Tire."

Sync lady: I didn't understand you?"

Me: "Tire."

Sync lady: "Okay, shooting fire."

You have to be careful with the tire command. I accidentally scorched a Hyundai Elantra in front of me. Gave a whole new meaning to fluidic sculpture. ;)

Cool feature. I keep learning more and more about my car-to-be!

according to the owner's guide 2nd ed., page 298, the fuel pump shut-off is reset by turning the ignition off and then back on and notes "it might take one additional attempt." i would say that button is not the fuel pump switch at all. no idea what it is. sorry.

Thats a heck of a programming button if you click it a certain number of times and watch the LED.

Maybe it works like you programmed an Altair 8800.

Yet, I doubt most people know how to program machine language with switches.
