Traffic Master, enables/disables it for traffic updates via the radio. (requires a subscirption, which has most likely expired)

The TM button, is the Traffic Master oracle system. It gives live updates to the traffic conditions that the vehicle is in proximity to. It's a subscription service, that costs £30 p/a.

It's a sensor to do with the climate control system, I think it's a sunlight sensor that allows the climate control system to understand external ifluences on the temperature inside the vehicle.

Is it possible to reduce the amount of influence it has? Getting fed up with being chilled every time the sun comes out & boiled when it goes back in again >:(

Two fan buttons, one small one large, press the small one to reduce fan speed.

I leave it on auto until its at a nice temp, then put the fan speed on its lowest setting.
