[QUOTE="2025 Red Equinox, post: 29697, member: 11404"] The control buttons also control features such as heated and ventilated seats, the rear defogger switch, and the air recirculation mode. It is not simply a matter of setting the HVAC system to automatic. Not everyone likes the automatic feature (I don’t) and some prefer to set the air outlet discharge settings. The lack of visibility of this control panel in the daytime, with the dash shading the buttons, is a terrible design issue. I can’t believe it passed the first design phase. I’d bet the panel of buttons was designed by a snowflake who has no real-world experience in driving and vehicle critical control visibility. I thought I would light-up the buttons by turning on the headlamps in the daytime. However, GM designed the vehicle to turn off the dash lights in the daytime when the headlamps are turned on manually. It is as if the designers intentionally made this a stupid design. [/QUOTE]
