As a frequent commuter who drives this car often, the 2011 GL8's function button design is quite user-friendly. The left button on the steering wheel adjusts volume and skips tracks, while the right button handles cruise control—holding it to set speed is super convenient on highways. On the center console, there are AC controls: the left knob adjusts temperature, the right knob controls fan speed, the middle button toggles air recirculation, and the defogger button is a must on rainy days. The window controls are on the door handle—one-touch operation opens/closes all windows. There’s also a sunroof button on the front ceiling; a light press opens it for fresh air. All buttons are ergonomically placed, so you don’t need to look down during long drives, reducing distraction risks. Remember to wipe the buttons regularly to prevent dust buildup from affecting responsiveness.
From a family car perspective, the 2011 GL8's function buttons are user-friendly for both passengers and drivers. The steering wheel features a phone answer button for safe communication after Bluetooth pairing. The air conditioning buttons on the center console are intuitive, with two rows: the upper row controls temperature settings, while the lower row adjusts vent positions, and there's an independent vent knob for rear seats. The power window buttons on door handles operate smoothly, with one-touch up/down for safety and convenience. The roof has a sunroof switch, extremely practical for ventilation during trips. The rear armrest includes audio control buttons for easy sound field adjustment. The overall layout is well-designed - with elderly and children onboard, proximity and ease of button use are crucial. Regular button sensitivity checks are recommended.
