I remember when driving the Roewe i5, the layout of the function buttons was quite intuitive and easy to get used to. On the left side of the steering wheel, there are music control buttons: a round knob adjusts the volume, left and right arrows change songs, and they respond immediately with a press. On the right side are the phone buttons—once Bluetooth is connected, answering calls is as simple as a light tap, so you don’t have to fumble while driving. The air conditioning controls are on the center console, with physical knobs to adjust temperature and fan speed, plus a button to switch airflow direction between face and feet. The cruise control buttons are located below the steering wheel—set your speed, and the car maintains it automatically, making highway trips much more effortless. There’s also a mode button to switch driving modes, like Eco or Sport. Overall, these buttons are designed with user-friendliness in mind, ensuring smooth and convenient daily use. I’d suggest new owners start by trying out the steering wheel buttons first, gradually familiarizing themselves to avoid distractions.

When I first started using the Roewe i5's function buttons, they felt a bit unfamiliar, but I quickly adapted. The rotary knob on the left side of the steering wheel controls the volume with a simple twist, while the side buttons allow for seamless song switching without interrupting playback. On the right side, the phone button enables one-touch answering or rejecting calls after Bluetooth pairing. The central control's air conditioning buttons are intuitive: fan speed adjustment buttons, a temperature knob that turns red or blue to regulate warmth or coolness, and a button to control the internal/external air circulation, which is practical on smoggy days. The one-touch window controls are located on the door panel buttons. The cruise control button is on the right side of the steering wheel, allowing you to set the target speed after learning how to use it. Overall, the button placement is logical, and the operation is smooth without any lag. As a beginner, it took me a few days of practice to become proficient, and now I can focus on the road while the buttons assist in daily driving.

From a technological perspective, the function keys of the Roewe i5 optimize the user experience. The steering wheel touch buttons respond quickly and support customization, such as setting navigation shortcuts. The one-touch AUTO button for air conditioning automatically controls temperature and humidity, with direct feedback from physical buttons. Press the voice assistant button once to issue commands for controlling music or making calls. Driver assistance keys like cruise control activate intelligent speed maintenance. The high integration of buttons reduces reliance on the central control screen, ensuring intuitive interaction for driving safety.
