Re: Blankety Blank
I've got no blanks in the focus. It doesn't have heated seats but the switches for that would be behind the gear selector next to thr traction switch and the models like mine without it doesn't have the cut outs so no blanks. Also doesn't have cruise but that's just a button bank attached to steering wheel which isn't there. It's got climate control so the sensor for temp is where the manual heating controls would have air recirc and ac. Ford were rather good at not having blanking plugs but instead just didn't have a cut out. The mini was a base spec classic but had 4 leccy windows,sat nav and auto lights and wipers but did have blanks where heated seats and driving mode select would be on higher spec issues

Re: Blankety Blank
64 plate movano we had at argos had that button but was by the drivers right knee if I remember. Allowed more give before traction control kicked in. Was handy in a rear wheel drive on a muddy grass bank with no weight in the rear. It liked to just light one tyre up if parked half on the grass when dropping a parcel off.NorfolkNWeigh wrote: ↑Sat Mar 19, 2022 8:50 pm How the fuck does that look like an off-road type switch?
No, the other end !
The one with a picture of a car on uneven ground next to a tree, FFS.
I pressed it today and a message came up “ Loose surface extended grip - ON “ appeared. So that’s cleared that up, then.

Re: Blankety Blank
I have a reasonably high spec Merc with a few choice options but still have plenty of blanks. The only Merc I have ever seen without any blanks was a S65 coupe.

Re: Blankety Blank

I use mine going down the ramps of multi story car parks from time to time - it's hilarious.

Re: Blankety Blank
Back on topic
AMC - no blanks - in fact they added a switch for the UK because they didn't have headlamp flashers fitted in the USA.
Discovery - one blank no idea what it's for.

Re: Blankety Blank
Then Landrover should label their controls properly. It's the Piss Soaked Carpark Descent Control.
