Counter-Intuitive Buttons/Switches?

incongruent · 12-22-2005, 05:39 PM

Okay... So I'm settling into my car after about 300 KM. And one thing I find to be totally insane is the locks and windows buttons. Who designed these things? They've hidden the door lock switch in the inside of the door handle... and instead of pushing it in to lock it, you have to Pull the lock OUT to lock the door... what the hell? I think there is also something wrong with the windows but I can't think of it at the moment.... I'm glad I have the key to lock/unlock, but if I have to answer one more question about the doors from my passengers they're gonna have to tuck and roll.

Right, Honda *FINALLY* puts an automatic lock switch on the passenger side, then they flip the switches backwards to **** with us.

In the coupe/si . . . it's forward to lock and back to unlock, where as the actual switch is forward to unlock, and back to lock, whereas "logic" would dictate that both cases be reversed.
