 Can someone tell me if the four buttons on the steering wheel are supposed to be illuminated when driving at night please? I've just realised mine aren't and wondered if it's a fault or normal?
Thanks,
Robin

 Robin,

Normal I'm afraid!

Best regards,

 Most of the controls on the C6 are designed for the blind... no sorry, they have some very subtle tactile feedback to let you know you have the right control.

This takes a little time to learn but just leave the left side of your brain in charge, and you will quickly learn whats where and what it does. Don't look, train your fingers. Used to be called ergonomic design.

Much better than the visual overload which is what we get in up to date car systems.

regards

 Yes I had noticed that. Originally I thought it was just the black coating dislodging, which it has sadly, but then I realised it was like braille. Citroen's of course can be driven by the blind.

 Thanks All,
Well at least that's not another thing to add to the "To Do" list

 This is some of the rubbish out there - Click Here -

Bit like the difference between a fine champagne and a nasty cocktail (not all cocktails are nasty)

Now which country makes fine champagne...

 You're bang-on with that one, Gordon! Whatever happened to 'keeping your eye on the road'!?!

My new C4 Pickarsehole, that I have in Spain, has a similar instrumentation concept. I can have a nice photo on the binnacle instead of the trip computer or a tacho!

Oh, and all steering wheel buttons are illuminated...
