All models of the GAC Trumpchi GS5 are equipped with a multifunction steering wheel. Below are the detailed instructions for the buttons on the GS5 steering wheel: 1. Introduction: The multifunction steering wheel integrates various controls such as multimedia, music, phone, and cruise control on both the left and right sides of the steering wheel. 2. Left-side buttons: The buttons on the left side of the steering wheel are primarily used to control the vehicle's audio system. 3. Right-side buttons: The buttons on the right side of the steering wheel are mainly used to control cruise control. In the top-tier model, which is equipped with ACC adaptive cruise control, the right-side buttons can also control the ACC system.

I often drive the Trumpchi GS5 for road trips, and the steering wheel buttons are quite handy. The left side is mainly the ACC adaptive cruise control area: the top button turns the cruise on/off, the dial below adjusts the following distance, and RES/+ and SET/- are used to increase or decrease the cruise speed. The right area is for multimedia control, featuring a volume roller and track skip buttons, with that small microphone icon being the voice control button. The central horn button goes without saying. There are also two small paddles on the back of the steering wheel—on higher trims, they're gear shift paddles, while on lower trims, they might be backup multimedia control buttons. The cruise buttons are especially effortless on highways; just a flick of the finger adjusts the speed. Oh, and some models have a hidden menu toggle button at the bottom right for adjusting the dashboard display info.

As a GS5 owner who frequently shuttles kids, mastering the steering wheel controls significantly enhances safety. The left cluster manages cruise control—a speed setting lever beside the activation button allows fine-tuning after setting the speed. The right multimedia section is intuitive: volume keys with raised dots enable blind operation, the phone icon answers calls, while the crossed symbol ends them. Holding the voice key activates the infotainment system; saying 'Navigate to school' proves more reliable than screen-tapping. Hidden behind both sides are paddle shifters, useful for temporary manual gear shifts during overtaking in automatic mode. All buttons feature backlighting, eliminating nighttime fumbling during school runs.

I've used the Trumpchi GS5 for business trips, and the steering wheel button logic is very clear. The left section has a three-step cruise control: first press the activation button, then dial SET/- to set the speed after reaching 30 km/h, with four distance adjustment levels available. The multimedia buttons on the right section are perfectly within thumb's reach—rolling the wheel up and down adjusts volume, while pushing left or right switches the song list. A small detail: the menu button is cleverly hidden on the lower right steering wheel spoke, making it super safe to switch to the dashboard tire pressure display on highways. The voice control button is located in the middle-right of the steering wheel—short press activates the voice assistant, long press for three seconds reboots the infotainment system.

What are the reasons why the car won't start in rainy days?

There may be several reasons why the car won't start in rainy days: 1. Short circuit: Since most of the vehicle's wiring and pipelines are concentrated in the engine compartment, driving through water may inevitably splash water on the internal wiring and pipelines. Over time, this can easily cause electrical short circuits and fuel line blockages, with the most direct fault being the car's failure to start. 2. Battery: In low temperatures, the car battery's output power decreases due to increased electrolyte viscosity, reduced permeability, and increased resistance, making it difficult for the starter to crank the engine to the minimum starting speed, thus affecting engine startup. Additionally, the low terminal voltage of the battery results in weak sparks from the spark plugs, and the increased resistance between electrodes due to the dense mixture makes it difficult to ignite the mixture, leading to engine starting difficulties.

What are the effects of leaving a car exposed to rain outdoors?

There are effects. Below is a detailed explanation of the impact of rain on cars: 1. Specific effects: The car's paint surface can be corroded. In many areas, pollution is widespread, and some regions suffer from severe pollution, resulting in rain that is essentially acid rain. Therefore, leaving a car exposed to rain is equivalent to exposing the paint directly to acid rain, which can corrode the paint, leading to water spots, oxidation, and even cracking. 2. Maintenance methods: Rainwater often contains acidic substances that can corrode the outer glossy layer of the car's paint. Additionally, rainwater carries tiny dust particles invisible to the naked eye, which can generate large amounts of oxides when exposed to sunlight. Hence, it is advisable to perform a paint treatment on your car after rain. A simple and effective method is waxing.

Why Can't You Leave Perfume in the Car During Summer?

Summer weather is hot and dry, making it prone to fires. Here is a detailed introduction about it: 1. Introduction One: Lighters and gas refills contain flammable liquid gases. According to experts, when plastic containers holding liquid gases exceed 40 milliliters, the gas expands upon heating, causing the plastic shell to explode due to the heat. If these come into contact with fuel or other flammable materials inside the car, it can easily trigger a fire, leading to unimaginable consequences. 2. Introduction Two: The gas evaporated from perfume is also flammable. The area where the perfume bottle is placed on the dashboard has the highest concentration of this gas, and this spot is directly exposed to sunlight. When the temperature reaches a certain limit, it is highly likely to cause an explosion.

Does a speed limit of 30 have speed cameras that actually measure speed?

According to relevant regulations, mobile speed monitoring devices are generally not allowed to be set up on road sections with speed limits below 50 km/h. Therefore, if the speed limit is 30 km/h, the cameras do not measure speed. Below is detailed information about speeding: 1. Exceeding the speed limit by less than 50% on roads with speed limits below 60 km/h. 2. Driving medium-sized or larger passenger trucks, school buses, or hazardous material transport vehicles exceeding the speed limit by less than 10% on roads other than highways or urban expressways. 3. Driving vehicles other than medium-sized or larger passenger trucks, school buses, or hazardous material transport vehicles exceeding the speed limit by less than 10%. 4. Driving a motor vehicle on a highway at a speed less than 20% below the prescribed speed limit.

Is driving at 40 km/h frequently harmful to the car?

Driving at 40 km/h frequently is harmful to the car. Reasons for the harm: If the vehicle runs at low speed for a long time, the engine cannot deliver the corresponding power, which affects the combustion efficiency of gasoline in the engine cylinder, leading to the formation of a large amount of carbon deposits that adhere to the throttle valve, fuel injector, and engine combustion chamber. The formation of a large amount of carbon deposits further affects the engine's power performance, ranging from reduced acceleration to severe cases of burning engine oil; long-term low-speed operation of the engine can easily lead to the generation of a large amount of carbon deposits, significantly affecting performance. Solutions: Visually inspect whether there is oil, water, or hardening on the front wheel brake discs and pads; if the brake discs and pads are normal, check each brake cylinder for oil leakage, whether the brake caliper fixing plate is loose, and whether the friction pads have difficulty returning to position, among other phenomena.
