According to a recent article published by\u00a0GM-Trucks.com<\/em>, the hulking GMC Hummer EV<\/a> has a “mystery” button. While mystery buttons are more common on cars than you may think, this particular button is a different story.<\/p>\n

You’ve probably pushed something in your car that appears to be a button, though it’s inactive or just a “dummy.” This is sometimes because your car doesn’t have a feature that’s available in upper trims or as an extra. My wife’s Honda Odyssey has several inactive buttons, which drove us crazy when she first bought it.<\/p>\n

That said, the Hummer EV’s mystery button will eventually have a purpose, but GMC<\/a> doesn’t yet know what it will be. GM-Trucks.com explains that while the button isn’t currently assigned to a feature, GMC is asking Hummer EV owners to come up with ideas for its future assignment.<\/p>\n

The button is on the round Drive Mode control that looks like a “toggle,” though it’s actually comprised of four separate buttons. Three of those buttons are assigned to various drive modes and\/or features, though the fourth (the one in the 3 o’clock position, furthest to the right of the driver) doesn’t yet serve a purpose.<\/p>\n

GM-Trucks.com says it looks like an “H” inside of a triangle. The H is inverted, so it could be seen as a dumbbell, or possibly the front end of the vehicle (axle and wheels?). It’s really hard to know what the graphic is supposed to be, and perhaps that’s the point.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At any rate, an employee of the website pushed the mystery button at a drive event only to get a message on the touchscreen that reads:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cYour Mode. Your Mission. EpicIdeas@GMC.com.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The publication asked GMC what the button is for, and the automaker confirmed that Hummer EV owners should submit their ideas for the button’s future assignment. Once GMC has received a sufficient list of ideas, it will come to a decision and then activate the button via\u00a0an over-the-air software update.<\/p>\n
