Gremlins. Automotive ones.
I picked up the new car the other evening, and once on my way home in the dark I realised that though I could find the sidelights as well as dipped headlights, there was no way of hitting main beam (that I could find). I could use the flash function, but couldn't hold the bright lights.
Then, I spent another hour yesterday trying to work out how to do some other things, but had to do that whilst holding a conversation with an elderly lady - I think she's a bit younger than I - who insisted on telling me all about her late husband's Datsun. I learned nothing new about my own car. But, today, I discovered how to make both the radio and the CD player function.
I went back to the dealer to ask him where the mileage meter lived, and also where they had concealed the trip reader. Turns out they are both at the end of the light stalk. You have to press it repeatedly and run through friggin' menus! Worse, the numerals are so smnall that I need glasses to read them, but I can't drive with glasses. However, the rev counter and speedo are clearly visible. And they haven't hidden the gear stick.
All in all, I think that bath from which they threw out the baby contained a lot more than water and babies! What on Earth was wrong with rolling numerals to tell you how far your car had gone?
