I seen my light up the other night when I was on the highway cruising in the passing lane with some jackwagon behind a semi swerved over in front of me. The red light lights up and the 8" productivity display said collison alert or something like that too. The light is bright in the dark!
I believe it's the indicator for the frontal collision/proximity warning...

Correct. I know, because some dim witted SUV driver cut across several lanes of traffic, almost laterally to jump in front of me to make a turn to Costco.
That is actually what it is! I found out twice yesterday! It gets your attention when it goes off and you get a frontal crash warning on the 8 inch screen also. We had a car pull out in front of us and it was real close to being bad, and also was coming up behind a smi and it had a car pull out in front of it, had to go left real quick! Truck handled it well, very impressed with it!
Seems reasonable since it was Costco....

Frontal Collision Warning. Not only will it come on, it will apply your brakes as well. Learned this first hand on my 1,100 mile trip home from picking my Raptor up at a dealer out of state. It can be turned off in your settings. It scared the crap out of me when it came on and auto-braked for me. I was in process of stopping when it came one, but it beat me to it.

Since you’re also in NoVA you know... It’s not just “our” Costco, but refugees from DC and MD seem to think “our” Costco is better, so they hop in the communal “block beater car”, typically a 70’s era station wagon, 80’s sedan or mini-SUV, any year beater minivan, marginal tires, often spewing odd color smoke, etc. They plod along in either the opposite or middle lane yakking on a cell phone until the last minute and make the sudden “crazy Ivan” turn across multiple lanes of traffic to make their turn knowing everyone will suddenly brake to let them, and often causing a crash to others in the process.
All Costcos are like this in big cities. I bet a lot of the beaters you are are their "Costco" cars, so they don't have to scratch up their Lexus. 
This crash warning and auto-brake, is that standard or only available if you have tech package?
