Automobile steering wheel's OK/RESET refers to confirmation and reset functions. Below are specific explanations: Operation of OK/RESET button: Used to control the trip computer - short press for confirmation (OK), long press for reset (RESET). Functions of OK/RESET button: This is a multifunctional button. For example, it serves as a confirmation key when adjusting the clock; when viewing trip/total mileage functions, it toggles displays or performs reset. The OK/RESET button can also work with the multifunction display to switch between various data such as cruise control and instant fuel consumption. There should also be a CRUISE button on the steering wheel which serves as the cruise control switch.
When I first started driving, I noticed an 'OK' button on the steering wheel and was really curious about its function. Later, I discovered it's actually a multifunctional confirmation button, mainly used to select menu items or confirm operations. For example, when browsing through song lists or navigation options on the instrument cluster, you can scroll left or right with the directional buttons and then press 'OK' to make your selection. This eliminates the need to look down and fiddle with the center console screen, significantly reducing the risk of distracted driving. I've used it on highways to set cruise control speeds or answer Bluetooth calls, and it's incredibly convenient. Over time, I've grown accustomed to it and feel it actually enhances driving safety by preventing accidents. The exact functions might vary slightly between different car models, but the general usage is similar. I recommend that new drivers practice using it to improve convenience and safety.
