Button Identification

The girlfriend just got a 2017 Redhawk on a Ford E450 chassis. There is a white button just above the park brake release. Does anyone know what this button does? When I push it I can hear a relay click but that is all.
Thanks for any input.

It is not working properly... Nagging boyfriend ejection button. Lucky you, where were you sitting? Warranty issue.

Your welcome:-)

That's the battery jumper button. If the engine battery is dead you can push that button and it will connect the coach battery to the circuit so you can get the engine started.

Within 24 hours of owning the brand new RV she had 500 watts of solar installed on the roof with 4-6volt gel cell batteries and a 2800 watt Magnum full sinewave inverter... It has not seen an RV park yet...

We have also used the Aux Start button in reverse when the house (generator starting) batteries were too low to kick over the generator. Of course help is needed to press and hold both momentary buttons at the same time.

We also have a Trik-L-Start installed connecting the house to engine batteries so that with generator or shore power both sets are charged by the house converter.
