What are the function key descriptions for the Mazda3?

Includes commonly used functions such as audio, air conditioning, defrosting, FM, and lighting. Below is a detailed introduction: Lubrication System: Lubricates various engine components to prevent excessive wear. The system requires cleaning and maintenance every 5,000km to 10,000km of driving. It also needs cleaning and maintenance if the engine noise is too loud, acceleration is sluggish, or the water temperature is too high. Fuel System: Requires cleaning and maintenance every 10,000km to 15,000km of driving, or when symptoms like engine stuttering, hesitation, poor acceleration, black smoke emission, lack of power, or excessive fuel consumption are observed. This process removes internal deposits and carbon buildup, prevents harmful corrosion, and avoids or stops leaks in seals and the radiator, along with a complete replacement of old coolant. Cooling System: Should be cleaned and maintained once during the transition between winter and summer seasons. Under normal driving conditions, it requires cleaning and maintenance every 6 to 8 months, or when symptoms like high water temperature, coolant leakage, or overheating occur. Transmission: Requires cleaning and maintenance every 20,000km to 25,000km of driving, or when symptoms like transmission slippage, high water temperature, delayed gear shifting, or system leakage occur. This process removes harmful sludge and varnish deposits, restores the elasticity of seals and O-rings, ensures smooth gear shifting, and improves power output.
When driving in my Mazda3, the small buttons on the left side of the steering wheel are crucial: there are volume adjustment and track switching buttons for controlling the audio system; the buttons on the right are related to cruise control—press SET to set the speed, RES to resume the previous speed, which is especially convenient for long-distance driving. The air conditioning buttons below the dashboard are designed simply, with a rotary knob to adjust the temperature and buttons to switch the airflow mode, such as defrosting the windshield. The windshield wiper lever is on the right side of the steering wheel—turning it adjusts the wiper speed from slow to fast. The window and rearview mirror controls are on the door handle, with one-touch up/down functionality that’s practical and reduces frequent operation. I often remind beginners that the light switch is on the steering column—turn it upward to turn on the low beams. The layout of these buttons makes driving smooth and prevents fumbling. Regular dust cleaning prevents accidental touches and enhances the user experience.
