It is a really strange design feature. I can see perhaps why someone in a hot country might want a button that opened all the car windows at once. But here in the UK? Where it never stops raining in winter?

If there is a wrong button to press, then sooner or later I will press the wrong button! ))

Hope all goes well with your son's driving lessons.

Thank you! I prefer not to approach equipment more complicated than a hairdryer, let alone drive it! I tell my son - you chose the darkest and snowiest time of the year to study.
