Does 'off' on the dashboard indicate on or off?

[CarolineMarie]

On switches, 'off' indicates the off position. The opposite is 'on', which means the on position. 'On' and 'off' are very common buttons, and you can find them on the car light lever. Here are some other buttons in cars: 1. The 'SEL' button is the menu selection confirmation button, usually located on the multifunction steering wheel. 2. The 'OK' button has the exact same function as the 'SEL' button, but some cars use 'SEL' while others use 'OK'. 3. The 'A/C' button is the compressor switch, short for AirCondition, which is the air conditioning cooling switch, because car air conditioning heating does not require the compressor. 4. 'VOL+/-' are the buttons for adjusting the volume up and down. 'VOL' is the abbreviation of the word 'volume', meaning sound level, and it can adjust the volume of the car audio. 5. 'MUTE' is the mute button, which can mute the sound with one press. 6. 'MODE' is the mode switching button.
