    True. Cars consoles (knowingly here in the US) are non-standard in their layouts. I was one day surprised while riding as passenger in my sister’s new 2023 car that she didn’t know how to turn on the headlights. The light “switch” was a menu button, to go inside a menu, and a mode needed to be selected. That was one scary day.
