New C8, what are the "must dos"?

So the MyChevy ap has the WORST owners manual I have ever had the displeasure of perusing. Pages and pages describing warning lights…nothing telling you what controls do what. I clicked the “purchase printed manual” button: unavailable. What are these 3 buttons? I assume one is stability control, one is traction control…no idea on the right one. These are above my left knee in this car.

Do you have the new dash?
On my 2020 it's for the HUD.

It’s apparently the new dash…
I went and grabbed the fob and fired it up…the right button is launch control (and with 124km apparently It’s disabled, lol…I get it).
The middle button turns off and on traction control. The left button didn’t appear to do anything.

I don’t seem to have any buttons or access to HUD. But there is something there. When the car is started there are 5 or 6 red warning logos reflected in the windshield. Mine is the cheapo LT1…so probably doesn’t have full HUD.

Did you not get a hard copy with your car ? Ignore that it says site maintenance. It's the link to the 2026 owners manual in pdf if you don't already have it.

The right one looks like the button to adjust launch control RPM.

Do you have the Z51 option? that left button looks like you can go toggle through the various traction control settings when in Track mode (wild guess).

No hard copy. Just a quick start useless pamphlet in the glove box telling you to load up the MyChevy ap for a manual. Thanks for the link!
(My 2023 Ford work truck never came with one either)
