There are buttons such as the media unit inside the car. Below are the specific functions of each button: 1. Media unit buttons: TUNE (Tuning), selects radio stations (up/down) in radio mode. EJECT (Eject), uses this button to eject the disc from the unit. INFO (Information), displays operational information and functions required for each mode. SRC/PAUSE (Source Switch/Pause), press this button briefly to switch audio modes between CD and auxiliary devices. Press and hold this button to enable/disable the pause function. 2. Function keys below the media unit: AUTO (Automatic), the automatic air conditioning button. SYNC (Temperature Zone Synchronization), synchronizes the adjusted functions of the air conditioning to the passenger side. 3. Buttons below the gear shift: The icon buttons on both sides of P indicate seat ventilation/heating. 4. Buttons on the left side of the steering wheel: MODE is the mode switch function key. SEEK is the search key. 5. Buttons on the lower left side of the steering wheel: From top to bottom, they are: electric folding mirrors, headlight height adjustment, and headlight washer.

As a former owner of the Captiva, the car has plenty of buttons, but all are designed for daily practicality. The air conditioning controls are centered on the dashboard with a rotary knob—just twist to adjust temperature and fan speed, plus an auto mode for convenience. Audio buttons are on the steering wheel, allowing easy station switching or call answering without distraction. Window controls are on each door armrest, featuring anti-pinch for safety. The cruise control stalk is on the right side of the steering wheel, helping save fuel and effort on highways. Side mirror adjustment buttons are on the door panel—just toggle to adjust angles for parking ease. Below the instrument panel, there’s a dial for headlight brightness to avoid glare at night. The trunk release is near the driver’s left leg for quick access. Regularly clean button surfaces to prevent dust buildup, which may cause sticking. Familiarizing yourself with these controls enhances driving experience—refer to the manual or seek professional help if issues arise.

From a safety perspective, the Koleos button design is very thoughtful. There is an airbag indicator light button on the steering wheel, which lights up for self-check during startup and flashes to indicate a fault requiring inspection. The child lock button is located on the inner side of the rear door; activating it prevents children from accidentally opening the door. The ESP switch is in the center of the dashboard—turning it off is suitable for off-road recovery, while keeping it on enhances stability during normal driving. The window lock button is on the driver's door panel, preventing accidental operation with a one-touch window lock. The parking sensor switch is near the rearview mirror, providing audible alerts to avoid scratches while parking. The seatbelt reminder button is on the door pillar; ignoring it will trigger a warning light. The wiper control is on the left stalk of the steering wheel, allowing speed adjustment for heavy rain. The trip computer display buttons are around the instrument panel, offering real-time access to speed and fuel consumption for peace of mind. Utilizing these functions effectively helps reduce driving accidents.

From a technical perspective, the Captiva features an integrated button electronic system. The area surrounding the central control screen is the media control zone, combining physical buttons and touch controls with responsive feedback. The steering wheel's capacitive buttons allow for light-touch operation of Bluetooth or volume functions, with signals transmitted via CAN bus to the ECU unit. The air conditioning panel includes an intelligent temperature sensor that automatically adjusts airflow. Instrument cluster buttons toggle driving information such as mileage and fuel consumption. The ignition switch supports smart key sensing for quick start and mute functions. The electronic parking brake button, located below the center console, is easy to operate. The window controllers incorporate anti-pinch logic circuits for reliability. During maintenance, avoid applying excessive pressure to buttons to prevent signal wire short circuits. For cleaning, use a dry, soft cloth to remove dust and protect the touch-sensitive surfaces.
