Playing around with my heat in my new Volkswagen GTI, I noticed when you press the heated seats button once, it starts you off with maximum greatness (3 / 3) press it again it goes down ( 2 / 3) (1 / 3) then off. In this instance it makes sense to have it adjust to the max on first press and work down for when you are super cold and want to heat the seats up you want max first, ideal for that functionality.
This took me a couple tries to get used to this, for it is a norm to go up in integers while pushing a button, such as speed of a fan, brightness of a light, etc..) I have been conditioned in this case to know pressing once makes it, it's max heat
Is it a good practice to condition users to go against certain norms, if applicable in the situation?
