What does this button do?
Cars.com reviews a lot of new cars, mostly with the same volume knobs, hood releases and temperature settings. But sometimes the reviewers get in a car and wonder, "What the heck does this do?" Here we chronicle their ongoing quest to decipher dashboard hieroglyphics. Have you ever found mystery controls on a car? Leave your comments below. —David Thomas and Joe Bruzek, Cars.com

Automatic doughnut mode
I¿ve been waiting for a button like this for some time: Engage and do your best impersonation of a winning NASCAR driver with smoky, tire-torching doughnuts until the tires pop. I wish that button did exist in something like the Dodge Challenger SRT8, but in the 2013 Toyota Land Cruiser the button activates Turn Assist. The off-road steering aid helps the Land Cruiser make tight corners on rugged terrain. It pulses the rear corner brakes at low speeds to rotate the SUV around obstacles. The feature automatically disengages when speeds exceed 6 mph.
