What’s the L button in the middle of the shifter dial for?

Taken from the manual of the latest Escape(Kuga) PHEVWhat’s the L button in the middle of the shifter dial for?
See a couple of comments I have on this page (particularly the second one for "L"):What’s the L button in the middle of the shifter dial for?
Then they shouldn't be that close to you ? Seriously though, I think they do above a certain level of strength. If you use Adaptive Cruise control, when that brakes to slow you down your brake lights do come on. But it might be set by local laws[/QUOTE]Does anyone know if the “L” mode turns on the brake light while you are slowing down with one pedal driving? My main concern with relying heavily on automated regen braking is that cars behind me will not be immediately aware I am slowing down.
On the Bolt the brake light comes on when decelerating but when the car stops the brake light goes out.Does anyone know if the “L” mode turns on the brake light while you are slowing down with one pedal driving?

At least on the Tesla's, as soon as regen kicks in, the brake lights come on. I would think that would be a requirement on the MME also.Does anyone know if the “L” mode turns on the brake light while you are slowing down with one pedal driving?

My intuition (which I think is awesome and reliable) is that you are correct.On the Mach-E Ford has shown on the display that there is a specific 1-Pedal mode you turn on for that behavior. It is likely that they will make the "L" just drive more like driving an automatic in Low (e.g. more regen when coasting and a little bit harder acceleration).
Not sure how the MME will behave when in max regen mode.....however, this is no different than when letting off the throttle in a manual transmission vehicle or heavy truck. The driver behind you will know you are slowing down. We get pretty good at comparing relative speeds with other vehicles on the road and recognizing fairly quickly when that delta changes even a little bit.Does anyone know if the “L” mode turns on the brake light while you are slowing down with one pedal driving?

One of them is for the auto parallel park option. Not sure of the other yet.Any idea what the buttons are in front of the parking brake (to the front right of the shifter dial)?
Question: does your gear shifter spin all the way in a circle and counter clockwise as well? Mine spins round and round even after its in DOne of them is for the auto parallel park option. Not sure of the other yet.
