Just wondering if this is the way it works, but in my 2007 H3, if the drivers side door is closed, I can push the switch in the dash to alternate between the Trip and Odometer readout. If the drivers side door is open, when I push the switch, it will not change from whatever the display is on. With the door open, if it is on the trip setting, holding it down does not reset. It's not a problem at all, but just curious as to why this may be.

Who knows, I noticed it too. Then later in an off road mag there was a test of the H3 that I read. It actually mentioned that tid-bit too.. one of the testers didn't like it.
Like you said, not really a big deal.. but not really a big deal to make it work both ways either. Such is life I guess.

Dennis wouldn't this be on the same lines of does the light stay on when you close the fridge door vs. when you open it?
Sorry couldn't resist.

Its so your service advisor can lean in and check your mileage with the door open, so you don't freak out about him reseting your oh so important trip computer from which you meticulously track your gas mileage. I kid - I have no idea why it is designed this way...but is it really a big deal to just shut the door?
