What does the BMW back button mean?
2 Answers
The BMW back button means 'return' in Chinese, referring to the return function in a car. Its main purpose is to allow the driver to return to the menu function when operating the central control display interface. Specific usage method: When operating the central control display, if the driver needs to return to the previous menu or option, pressing the back button will take them back to the previous level of the menu or option. Other English buttons in cars: The selreset button in a car is the menu selection and confirmation button, mainly used to control functions such as tire pressure monitoring, odometer, trip meter, average speed, remaining range, elapsed time, and distance to the next maintenance. It is also a multifunctional button designed to switch items with a short press and reset the corresponding data with a long press.
I remember the back button was super useful when driving the BMW X5. Simply put, it's a small button on the infotainment system, usually located next to the iDrive control knob, specifically designed to return to the previous menu, similar to the back button on a phone. For example, when using navigation, you might have pulled up a complex intersection map—just press the back button to return to the main menu, saving you from swiping around on the screen. This is quite important while driving, as it reduces the time spent looking down at the screen and keeps your focus on the road ahead. I often use it on highways, and it feels much smoother compared to some older models where you'd have to tap the touchscreen multiple times. Overall, this design reflects BMW's intelligent layout, making driving easier and safer. Don’t underestimate such a button—it can prevent minor mistakes at critical moments.
