I drive a 2011 MINI Cooper S and have owned a 2007 and a 2003. Every generation has its share of wtf when it comes to dashboard switches.
Take my biggest peeve, the blower switch on the 2011: If you press "increase" while at max blower, it stays at max blower. If you press "decrease" while at min blower, it turns off. If you press "decrease" while at off, it goes to min blower.
So you can jam the blower to max without looking, but if you overshoot on the way back down, it goes off and on again!

- albedoa 8y agoYes! I should have included that I am sure it is purposeful, but I am not sure that they considered the practical implications.
