What are the buttons on the Corolla steering wheel?
2 Answers
The multifunction buttons on the Corolla steering wheel are typically designed for convenient driver operation, such as volume adjustment and menu selection. Some models equipped with in-car telephone functions also feature call answer and microphone buttons on the steering wheel. The Corolla's mid-to-low trim models use manual air conditioning, while the top trim and hybrid versions are equipped with automatic air conditioning. These systems allow for fan speed adjustment, temperature control, and airflow direction regulation. Airflow Direction Adjustment: Set the airflow direction knob to the desired position to change the airflow mode. Press the circulation switch button in the center of the knob to toggle between external air mode and recirculation air mode. Fan Speed Adjustment: Turn the fan speed knob clockwise (to increase) or counterclockwise (to decrease) to adjust the fan speed. Turning the knob to "0" turns off the fan. Press the middle defroster button to heat and defog the windshield and front side windows. Temperature Adjustment: Turn the temperature adjustment knob clockwise (for warmth) or counterclockwise (for coolness) to adjust the temperature setting. If the A/C button is not pressed, the system will blow ambient temperature air or warm air.
I find the steering wheel buttons on my Corolla quite practical. The left side has volume adjustment and track switching buttons, with a call button in the middle, making it super convenient to answer calls while driving. The right-side buttons control the dashboard display, allowing you to toggle between data like fuel consumption and mileage, and even check real-time navigation info on highways without fumbling. Higher trim models also feature cruise control buttons on the right, which automatically maintain the set speed, making long-distance driving much more relaxing. Hidden behind the steering wheel are paddle shifters—just a flick of your finger to shift gears in manual mode, instantly adding a bit of driving fun. The button layout is well thought out, allowing easy operation with just a touch of your fingertips, which is much safer than reaching for the center touchscreen.
