balance and fade

Can you rotate the button with finger tip while pushing on it or when pushed in?

I thought I was clear enough. I'm differentiating a pot that adjusts the input to a midstage or output transistor and does no more than adjust volume or a double pot that increase volume in one pair of speakers while decreasing it in another versus one that controls a more complicated circuit

Apparently not, or the words in the owners manual would not be there.

If that's all it had, that would be enough, but it claims to have more. Wouldn''t you want to understand your car's features?

I suspected that the display would not actually show anthing more than it had shown so far and I went for a drive between my first post and this one, and in fact it didn't show anything, not for FM, cassette, or CD.

I went for a diver after I posted, and No, I couldnt' get a grip.

I googled "will be displayed and continuously updated while the button is pressed" and didn't get any good hits. Maybe when the shop manual arrives it will discuss this, but I very much doubt it. They never say how the radio works, only how to remove it.

I guess the next stop is a Chrysler forum. I see all 3 Sebring Yahoo lists have been dormant for almost 2 years, and I hate webforums, but I will try a yahoo list and a forum. .

It's a simple digital control. When you push in and release the knob pops out and you are adjusting whichever control you are moving. It will display that adjustment as you are making it, then switch back to the default display a couple seconds after you stop moving the control. For instance if you are adjusting the balance the control, it just shifts the input signals to the final amp to "move" the sound in the direction you are turning the knob. Pushing it in does nothing except locks the knob in place so you don't hit it by accident.

Same thing with the fader and bass/treble controls. Now if you have the uplevel stereo it does have auto volume control that raises the volume as speed increases but that's about it.

I hope you ordered the correct book, The Sebring is an interesting car. First generation convertibles were built on a modified Mitsubishi Galant platform but used components for the Talon while the coupes were basically re-skinned Mitsubishi Eclipses. The second generations were still Eclipses for the coupes but a Chrysler platform was now used under the convertible and sedan. The last models of sedan and convertible used a newer Chrysler platform.

It can get REAL interesting when you try to get parts if you forget to say coupe, sedan or convertible. Plus the model year changes to the drive train make it handy to know the build date...

This is what happens when people insist on reading the car manual - mass co nfusion. Had you not read it, you would have figured that out that pushing the button in causes the shaft to pop out to make an adjustment. You would then push the shaft in to lock it in place and make it harder to accidental ly mess up the setting. My guess is that you get a readout of the current s etting when you push the button in. This is a handy feature and easily conf irmed. Good luck - you're gonna need it.
