Our 450h has the EV button there. It's described on p183 of the manual ....

In EV drive mode, the electric motor (traction motor), powered by the
hybrid battery (traction battery), is used to drive the vehicle.
This mode allows you to drive in residential areas early in the morning and
late at night, or in indoor parking lots etc. without concern for noises and
exhaust gas emissions.

+1 - This blank is filled by the EV button on hybrids only.
