What Does This Button Do?
As I sat surrounded in the ridiculously awesome opulence of the new Jaguar XJL SuperSport, I was a bit confounded by its center display screen and this little button below it.
It sat next to a button for the stereo power and hazard lights.
So, what would a button with two chairs facing each other control? Would a hologram of the music screen pop up between the driver and front passenger? Did it switch the sound settings to be more attuned for either seat?
Nada. This is the button to bring up the screen to control the heated front seats.
Besides the fact that heated seats are generally denoted by three wavy arrows pointing up around a seat, the actual screen itself shows the seats facing outward, not inward as they are on the button.
This little button became endearingly awkward, unlike the iPod connection, which simply didn’t work at all. Staring at the Bowers & Wilkens emblems on the speakers and the blank “My Music” screen bummed me out a lot more than this button icon flub. I’m sure there is a lot of sympathy for me out there right about now.

I was guessing it spun the seats around so the driver and passenger would face each other.
A co-worker told me it is your ticket to the gun show.
British logic infected with mad cow disease.
It looks like a "Lift Heavy Object" button.
The symbol on the button is NOT two seats facing one another. They are a mans ARMS with fists CLINCHED because he's so angry his seat is cold.
It looks like it makes your monitor angry, causing it to burst out of your dashboard and threaten you with clenched fists on the ends of arms that are apparently not connected to a body.
