Unofficial "What does this button do?" thread
First and foremost, my apologies for the stupid question(s).
Now that's over and done with, what does that rocker switch on the top of my seats do? It's by the handle to raise the front seat for access to the back and seems to do nothing at all. I even looked in the manual, it's apparently to move the seat back and forward but that doesn't happen And since you're viewing, are both my side-view mirrors supposed to dip when I put the vehicle into reverse or only the passenger side? Thanks in advance |

I'm not 100% sure that we're talking about the same thing, but there is a rocker on the passenger side seat. It moves the seat back and forth but only if the passenger side door is open. I use that a lot when I have to put my daughter in her car seat.

Attached as per your request I took a picture of the passenger side as the glare on the driver's side made it come out like Kevin Garnett at midnight.

The passenger mirror only dips in reverse if the mirror select switch is set to the driver side position. |

seat has to be folded forward if door is shut. If door is open, should work either way.

Cup cooler. How old is your car? This feature was dropped a year or two ago, my '11 doesn't have it but my '08 did.

Only the '08 M had the cup cooler. I have an '09 and mine does not have one.

Because it was a gimmick and it sucked

I kept one of those short airline water bottles in mine all the time. Anytime I wanted a cold sip of water there it was, not sure how this equates to being a gimmick and sucking. Now I could see where it wouldn't be very practical if you were attempting to cool a magnum or make ice cubes with it but it did what it was designed to and you didn't have to use it if you didn't want to so you didn't give anything up. I'd just as soon have it back.
