C32 Door Locks
Just curious if this is the same for anyone else.
When I push my door lock button up, the door locks go down. When I push the button down, the door locks go up.
Unless I'm dyslexic, shouldn't it be the other way around?

Yup, that switch seems upside down and backwards in spite of my dyslexia.
Won’t be the last time German ergonomic engineering trumps Yank logic.
The sunshade toggle is intuitively oriented though.

This should happen only on the driver's side door. I believe all the rest of the door locks can be locked manually except the driver's side. Ask me how I know, I've encountered the dreaded pogo lock and I fixed it, but I thought it was happening to the driver's side door. Turns out it's nifty security feature which keeps you from locking your keys in your car. On another note, if you lock the locks from the switch, the driver's side door will not lock. I think you have to lock it outside of the car.

Good to know. But what I meant was the button on the center console. When you push it down, you'd think the doors would lock (go down) Instead they go up. And vice versa.
