I totaled our minivan, and we decided that since we no longer have to tote hordes of teenagers here and there, we'd go a bit more upscale with a Chrysler 300. Pushbutton for all kinds of things: multiple buttons to adjust the seat 3,678 different ways, a button to adjust the outside mirrors, electronic "keys" that you never have to take out of your purse or pocket -- more buttons that lock or unlock the door and start the car.
But we couldn't figure out how to adjust the rearview mirror. Where's the button for *that* mirror? We looked all over, looked in the car's instruction manual (Well *I* did. DH didn't want to.), nothing. So we finally called the dealership. We explained the problem to the young lady who answered the phone. "Umm...you just move it with your hand."
