That's the normal way. Down for on, off for up.

Not here.

Really?

Actually, it seems to change depending what you're doing. For example I find it odd that my Renault requires me to push the lever down to turn the wipers on. Every other car has been up.

And why is it taps for water and gas are anticlockwise for more, yet volume controls and electric cookers are clockwise for more?

Here, it's counterclockwise for hot (on the left) and clockwise for
cold (on the right). That gives a mirrored movement in each wrist.
I find it very convenient.
