The car I drive has the same problem as that image: undifferentiated buttons to control the AC. I want to turn on the windscreen defogger (or whatever it's called). Now which button is it, oops, now I have to look down cause I can't remember nor can I locate it by touch if I did.


On the golf it's not a button but a dial (furthest right).

I leave it on Defog most of the time (straight up) and change from there without needing to look. If I'm unsure a quick glance tells me the angle and I can make the adjustment without having my eyes on it.
