When operating elements move
11/21/2020
Well, strictly speaking, controls do not move when a model is changed or revised. But interior developers and ergonomists sometimes come up with new ideas and move functions around. For example, it was once common to switch from high beam to low beam with the foot, until the pull on the steering column lever became commonplace. The engine was once started by pressing a button or pulling the lever, later by turning the key and today again by pressing a button.
You can get annoyed about it, but usually a certain trend prevails. Nowadays, for example, the blinker lever is really on the left-hand side of the steering wheel in all left-hand drive cars, but a few decades ago there were still some car manufacturers who thought that the right hand was better suited to operating the indicators. You could name thousands of examples.
And why all this history? Well, you've probably noticed that the way you operate the throttle has also changed somewhat. We too have modernized and some functions are no longer quite where they used to be.
Like the car makers, we are convinced that the layout is now more logical and the site is much more user-friendly. But we welcome feedback, whether positive or negative, because of course even the best operating concept can always be further optimized.
