Mystery switch in driver's foot well

:
2012 CX-9 Mica Blue AWD Grand Touring, NAV, Moonroof
Was vacuuming the drivers side of my '12 CX9 and noticed this doo-hickey poking out of the left side panel, just to the left of the parking brake pedal.

...it appears to be some type of contact or pressure switch. I tried to trace the wires back without removing too many panels but it just went into a larger bundle and couldn't follow it any further. It did have a stick-on label with "000-8F-Z03" on one side and "P3465" on the other.

When I googled the part number, I got a hit here, and it says its a "reset button". Any ideas what it resets? I pushed it like 6 times and it didn't seem to do anything. I drove the car afterward without incident. No hits when searching the owner's manual either.

Any ideas would be appreciated! Cheers,

Bufffan

If you have the remote starter option, then this is the emergency override/programming button.
