Default Anyone have any idea what this is on all the C8 ?

.


Just curious, I see these yellow " plunger buttons" on all the tester cars dash, anyone know what they are ? Cut off of gas/fuel in case of fire ??

Got my curiosity spiked regarding these devices on the dash.

Emergency shutoff for engine and fuel system to prevent fires. Fairly common on preproduction test cars.

Digital update of the ol' pine-scent deodorizer.

(hint: when it starts smelling like farts just disconnect the battery and do a hard reboot of it)
