What does the mode on the steering wheel mean?

Mode on the steering wheel refers to the mode, which is a button that controls the switching of the car's multimedia. It is used to switch between FM radio, AM radio, CD, or USB modes. How to use the mode button: 1. When the system is playing FM radio, CD, or an external audio source, press the mode button once to switch to the tachometer and speedometer; 2. The central display will synchronize with the system display; 3. Then, use the button on the left side of the mode button to scroll through and select songs on the central display, and press the scroll wheel down to confirm the song change; 4. Press the mode button again to switch back to normal mode.
I drive frequently, and the MODE button on the steering wheel is the audio source toggle. It allows you to easily switch between radio, CD, Bluetooth music, or AUX input without bending over to operate the central screen, which is quite convenient. Especially on the highway, if you want to switch from the radio to your phone's playlist, just press the MODE button—keeping your eyes on the road enhances safety significantly. Many drivers overlook this small feature, but it’s actually designed with great ergonomics to reduce distracted driving incidents. I recommend new car owners try this button—practice a few times at low speeds to familiarize themselves with its position and avoid fumbling while driving. Additionally, other steering wheel buttons like volume control serve a similar purpose; they’re designed for driving convenience, and minimizing screen time is always a good thing.
