Hope I'm not covering old ground here - but can anyone tell me what the three square holes between the heated windscreen/tailgate switches are there for ('08 ST-3 facelift)?

Nothing in the manual as far as I can see!

Also - are all the Recarro seats rubbish at returning to their start position once you let someone in/out of the back seat? Mine seem to randomly reset themselves each time.

Just curious!

With the seats when you put the lever to move them forward make sure the back of the seat locks forward. When you want to return them side the base backwards and then pull the lever to release the back of the seat. It will then be in the same place as it was before you moved it.

No idea what the holes in between the heater switches are.

does your car have climate control, if so i'd guess the holes are for monitoring that

[stingy]

They are to vent heat from the power boost button

[Phil]

They are for the aircon sensor.

Thats ur sensors for climate control.. I have the same on my Fez ST500.. it monitors the temperature of ur car and controls it according to how much you have set it to..

All ST's have this.

guess not required on non climate control ones.

looks like the wrapping on this one didn't bother!

I have those holes and do not have climate control. I would guess they are just a standard shape and have the sensors behind them if you need them so it looks the same on all ST's

They will have problems before too long, they should have cut the slots out, as i said all ST's have them.

[MrRimmer]

Not a problem on cars without climate control. Took that part of mine apart when fitting bluetooth unit and I can assure you that there's nothing behind those holes. In fact, the rear of the switches is a brilliant place to stash handsfree control units.

[arjun0889]

Oh I dunno then, I was always under the impression that it was a sensor or somthing behind that to control the temperature in the car..

[Huw333]

There probably is a sensor fitted there but only if you have the dual air conditioning controls, as it monitors the internal temperature of the car. I'm sure I've read that in a manual somewhere anyway
