    What is this lit up red button on my 2014 Prius? It's near the front door on the driver's side. I can't find it in the manual.

    Aftermarket alarm? Doesn't look like any stock item.

    I don't think a button gets sad? It doesn't have emotions.

    I must agree with an "aftermarket" appearance.

    My own Prius has a blank cover in that space.

    were you thinking the nitro?

    Have you found out what happens when you push it yet? Light turn h on or off er?
    Have you checked to see if there's a hydrogen bubbler under the hood?
