mode stands for mode, and it is used to switch between multimedia modes. Here is a detailed introduction: 1. Specific functions of the mode button: The mode button is commonly found on multifunction steering wheels and center consoles. It is generally used to switch between radio FM, radio AM, CD, or USB modes. Alternatively, it can be used to switch the car's air conditioning vent modes, typically cycling between foot-level, head-level, and windshield defrost modes. 2. How the mode button works: If the MMI system is playing the radio, CD, or an external audio source, pressing the mode button synchronizes the display between the tachometer and speedometer with the MMI system. Then, by pressing the buttons on the left side of the mode button, you can scroll through songs on the central display screen. Pressing the wheel downward confirms the song selection. Pressing the mode button again returns to normal mode. 3. Specific operations of the mode button: Holding the mode button for ≥1 second triggers a prompt sound from the dashboard, activating the dashboard's operation and enabling the three-button adjustment function on the steering wheel. The dashboard display will show the last-used trip computer interface. Once the three-button adjustment function is activated, briefly pressing the mode button allows you to: enter submenus, select menu items, or make settings. The mode button on the center console operates similarly.

How to Keep the Blue License Plate After Purchasing a New Energy Vehicle?

To retain the original license plate, certain conditions must be met to continue using it. The license plate must have been used for more than 1 year to be eligible for retention, whereas previously, it required over 3 years. The application period for retaining the original license plate is 1 year, whereas the previous regulation allowed applications within 6 months after the original vehicle was transferred or scrapped.

How to Properly Add Windshield Washer Fluid?

The reservoir for windshield washer fluid is mostly hidden under the hood.

Open the small cap and pour in the windshield washer fluid until you can just see the fluid, but do not overfill it. Close the cap tightly, making sure it clicks into place.

How to disable the auto-lock feature on the Baojun 730?

If the doors are not opened, the car will automatically lock after approximately 15 seconds. However, if a door is opened and then closed, the auto-lock feature will not engage. The auto-lock function on the Baojun 730 cannot be deactivated manually. It requires a computer setup at a 4S dealership to disable it. Visit a repair shop and have the staff use a computer to turn off the feature. The purpose of the auto-lock function is to enhance security.
