What's that left side *** on the gauge cluster?

You know where you press a *** to reset your tripmeter? There's another one to the left, what is it for? I tried pressing it and nothing seems to happen. Is it just for decoration? Anyone?

You have to press it really hard, that's the secret NOS button, it'll kick in and gives you 250HP.

And guess what...it's in the Owners Manual. Page 5-30, to be precise.

Owners Manual? What the hell is wrong with you eccles. Why would anybody look at that little book?

As if you'd find out information on the car or something.

:D

Oh really? Cool. I tried looking for it under the manual, but I couldn't find it. Thanks!

I sure wished that secret NOS button was true :D

I thought that extra button was for the secret bat cave entrance opener.

Ya know, if we all read the owner's manuals we would have very little about which to speak or write. Now if I could just get my dash display to stop bilnking "12:00"...

That button is for MPH or KMH. In other words don't worry about it if you leave in America.

Nah, it's the passenger ejector seat control. Dumped my mother-in-law out in the Mohave once.

Charles, no, we'd still be arguing whether the manual is bs (like with the synthetic oil issue) and/or the mazda techs forgot to mention some things (like the possibility of flooding).

Ejecto Seato, how come you got one of those and I only got the bat cave opener ? Damn Mazda. I also over heard some of the Mazda designers and they are going to make a button for Invisibility.

My little left-sided button activates the Turbo Boost like in Knight Rider. Too bad I passed on the option where the car can talk to me and drive on it's own.
