While users are spoiled with audio controls that can be operated from the steering wheel. So the activity of driving is not terganggun if you want to adjust the volume. Unfortunately the regulator seat is activated manually.
And for the power window buttons pinned in the middle, exactly next to the brake empire, unlike most cars that put the power window button on each door. The design is reminiscent of the Hyundai Accent car dropout of the 90s.
There is one thing that must be considered by Proton, the regulator is at the height of the seat. Because regulators are located on the right of the driver's seat is quite difficult to operate.
His position is very narrow, so it should open the door first to get there.
