Default Air control question

Current ES owner seriously contemplating trading for an RC. Dumb question, but how do you operate the air temperature control? Are you pressing the little red/blue arrows or is it a sliding motion between the two?

On my 2018 RC, you lightly touch and slide your finger in the direction you want. Took a few times to get used to it, but I don’t even think about it now.

Interesting, thanks. So is there a slidey bit that moves with the finger or is it more like the track pad function?

There is nothing mechanical that moves, just a raised straight line that responds to touch.

track pad with raised plastic strip. You can also use voice commands.

In my 2022 either end of the adjustment bar can be touched for a simple 1 degree adjustment. The system is very easy to use. It also offers dual or separate controls.

I can do both in my 2023 RC, press the blue or red arrows or slide up or down on the strip in between them.
