Anybody else find that the buttons (on the Patriot/Compass/Caliber for the recirculate, defrost and air conditioning are tiny and not only hard to see, but also hard to use because of their size.....

in another forum a user asked where these buttons were so they must be on the smaller side of normal.

I think that it mostly because of their 'new' location. It's not where 99% of car put them... and, yes, they are smaller than the the tea bag sized buttons a lot of others use. Personally, I thought the larger size was designed more for when your hands were in mittens and you couldn't press with only a single finger.

I hadn't realized how small the buttons were.

Is it the angle of the photo, or does the shift selector knob obstruct some other control buttons?

Come to think of it they are kinda on the small side... And they are located a bit lower that most vehicles.
