Can I disable Winter Mode Switch?

Just a thought. Twice now, I have accidentally engaged my winter mode by somehow bumping the button, which is really placed in a horrible location in the C-coupe. Is there a setting on the MFD (that I can't seem to find) to disable this switch so that I don't do this again? I did a search, but they don't seem to have asked this particular question before.

Thanx.

Tim

I meant I can't find the setting, not the MFD!

I think that I read somewhere on the csportscoupe forum that that feature is only available with the optional rear opening sunroof.

That's part of the C10 package that has the electronically retractable wiper blades, isn't it?

no, no... It's part of the C12 package with the pop-up rear wing and flipable headlights that goes from halogen to xenon on a touch of a button.

Mebbe you should place around the shift lever one of those conical dog-collars that prevent the dog from scratching himself. It would keep your long fingers off the buttons.

I agree, but it's happened twice now! Maybe my son is playing a joke on me!
