Common buttons in the MG5 car include the front defrost/mist button, rear window heating button, air conditioning shortcut button, vehicle settings button, HOME button, volume increase or decrease button, hazard warning light button, driving mode button, 360-degree panoramic image button, trunk opening button, etc. Here are the functions of all the buttons: Defrost or mist button: Press the defrost or mist button, and the AC switch will light up simultaneously. The system enters the defrost or mist function, used to remove mist or frost from the front windshield and front window glass. Rear window heating button: Press the rear window heating button, and the indicator light will turn on, activating the rear window heating. The rear window heating will automatically turn off after 15 minutes of operation. If activated a second time within 5 minutes, it will heat for 8 minutes before automatically turning off. Air conditioning shortcut button: A short press will enter the air conditioning system interface on the central control display, allowing you to adjust the air conditioning functions on the screen. A long press can turn the air conditioning system on or off. Vehicle settings button: A short press will enter the vehicle settings interface on the central control display, and another short press will exit the interface. HOME button: A short press returns to the main interface of the central control display. Volume increase or decrease button: Press to increase or decrease the media volume. Hazard warning light button: Press the hazard warning light button to activate the hazard warning lights. At this time, all turn signals and indicator lights will flash. Driving mode button: While the vehicle is moving or stopped, press the driving mode selection switch MODE to cycle through the driving modes on the central control display. 360-degree panoramic image button: When the 360-degree panoramic image system is activated, the display screen shows a 360-degree panoramic image of the vehicle, making it easier to observe the surrounding environment and ensuring safer driving. Trunk opening button: When in P gear, a long press can open the trunk tailgate.
Driving this MG5, the buttons on the steering wheel are what I interact with the most. The left cluster is the audio control zone—the volume up/down buttons are super handy, and a single press on the track change button switches songs. Nearby, there's a voice control key that lets you activate navigation with just a command while driving. The right side is all cruise control buttons, perfect for setting speed and adjusting follow distance on highways. On the instrument panel's left, a menu button makes checking fuel consumption and tire pressure data effortless. The levers below are even more practical—the left one manages lights: one twist turns on parking lights, two twists activate headlights, pushing forward engages high beams, and pulling back flashes them. The right lever controls wipers, making speed adjustments in rain a breeze. Behind the steering wheel, hidden paddle shifters add thrill when manually shifting gears for overtaking. This layout is brilliantly designed—keeping hands on the wheel for all operations makes long drives fatigue-free.
The layout of the center console buttons is exceptionally well-designed. The air conditioning controls are the most prominent, with a central knob that adjusts the temperature with a simple twist, while the fan speed is easily managed by pressing the plus and minus buttons. A single press of the front defogger button instantly clears the windshield. Below, a row of physical buttons controls the multimedia system: a home button for quick returns to the main interface, a volume knob that adjusts the music level with a turn, and a screen-off button that saves power and is highly practical. Next to the gear shift is the electronic parking brake button—pull up to lock and press down to release. When the auto-hold light is on, a firm press of the brake at a red light will bring the car to a complete stop. The driving mode selector is discreetly placed nearby, with an eco mode for fuel-efficient commuting and a sport mode for more aggressive power on the highway. The hazard light button is conveniently located overhead, easily reachable with one hand in emergencies. All these buttons provide clear feedback, allowing drivers to operate them without looking down while driving.
The practicality of the MG5's door buttons is top-notch. The driver's door panel features four patterned buttons for window control, and a one-touch child lock to secure the rear doors when traveling with kids. The front circular knob adjusts the mirrors—turn left for the left mirror, right for the right mirror—and also includes an electric defogging function. The door handle recess houses the central locking button; a light press locks all doors, and another press unlocks them immediately. Seat adjustments are located on the side; even the base model's manual lever allows smooth sliding and backrest angle adjustments. Higher trims with power seats offer three levels of adjustable lumbar support. The rear doors include a dedicated child lock slider for added safety against accidental opening. All these controls are ergonomically placed within easy reach.
