why dimple in middle of hot/cold knob
Hi. Love the FM Power package Yaris. No complaints so far. Just looking at "control" panel with hot/cold knob and wondering why the dimple/slot at the "noon position" above the knob. My only guess is that it is supposed to represent the halfway mark between hot and cold. But rather useless IMHO.

i dont think he is is talking about the lightup part on the dial, but on the surround trim panel...
and i really have no idea what it is for, and really it is pretty useless... |

eg turning the knob to the left of the dimple controls how much heat, turning to the right controls how much cool air, with the dimple being the set point. |

You don't need the dimple because you have the blue and red markings. But if the dimple is so important, then how do you know "if the heat is on full" at NIGHT as the dimple does not light up??? I would agree if the markings weren't on the dial.

Just an update I am wrong, i looked at my dial and yep the "needle" lights up and the outside ring turns not the whole knob, i wonder if those euro.. cars have a different knob and they need the dimple?? |
