What are the functions of the X3 buttons?
2 Answers
Specific functions are as follows: 1. Electronic Stability Control (ESC): Can be manually turned off in conditions such as rain, snow, or muddy roads. Normally, keeping it on helps prevent skidding and fishtailing. 2. Parking Radar/Image: Displays images on the central screen while the radar provides audible alerts. 3. Internal/External Air Circulation: The difference lies in that internal circulation uses air from inside the vehicle, while external circulation brings in outside air to replace the existing cabin air. 4. Temperature Zone Synchronization: Adjusting the driver's seat temperature automatically changes the other zones without needing separate adjustments. When turned off, each zone can be adjusted individually for greater personalization. 5. Auto Start-Stop: When activated, the engine temporarily shuts off. Releasing the brake pedal allows the vehicle to continue moving. 6. Auto Hold: At traffic lights, releasing the brake pedal won't cause the vehicle to roll. Pressing the accelerator unlocks the wheels, allowing the vehicle to proceed.
I've been driving a BMW X3 for almost three years now, and the function buttons are very user-friendly. Like the round arrow button on the right side of the steering wheel—just a gentle twist adjusts the volume. The voice button above my left hand is particularly practical; press it and say 'Navigate to the airport' directly without looking down at the screen, making driving safer. There's also a snowflake button specifically for rear window heating—just press it when it fogs up on rainy days, and it clears up instantly. The most thoughtful feature is the M memory button next to the seat—once the position is saved, there's no need to readjust when someone else drives, which is very convenient. These button designs are very ergonomic, mostly placed within natural finger reach, allowing for blind operation while driving without any issues.
