I tell my wife that's part of the fun of the Jeep. All the buttons look cool and I love pushing/clicking and feeling in control of the vehicle.Agreed but sometimes all the automatic stuff can get a little annoying. This is a repost from a couple years ago:
I call this my Pre-Flight Check and it can be really annoying in the winter:
Step 1 - Enter and turn on the vehicle.
Step 2 - Turn off the radio because the radio always turns itself on when I start the car regardless of whether or not I was previously listening to it;
Step 3 - Turn off the heated wheel. It's really unnecessary above freezing.
Step 4 - Turn off the heated seats. This requires the button to be pushed 3 times. Again really unnecessary above freezing;
Step 5 - Turn off the ESS;
Step 6 - Turn off Traction control if conditions warrant controlling the power to the wheels myself;
Step 7 - Set the cabin temp, fan speed and vent location (or maybe just hit auto).
So after I've pressed 8-10 buttons I check the flap settings and get pushed back out of my driveway for departure.
Her Jeep Compass (little rag on Jeep brand here) is just an automated mode of transportation. Nicer ride than mine, and simpler, and more efficient.... but just not enough fun to be had.
