What does APS mean in a car?
2 Answers
APS in a car refers to the automotive central control system. The automotive central control is the area that manages comfort and entertainment devices such as the air conditioning and audio system. It includes the central door locking system, central console, and various vehicle controllers like the audio control panel. The driver can operate the vehicle's door switches and window lift system through the central control. There are many types of central locking systems installed in cars, but their basic components mainly consist of the door lock switch, door lock actuator, and door lock controller. Most central locking switches are composed of a master switch and individual switches. The master switch is located on the driver's side door, allowing the driver to lock or unlock all doors of the vehicle. Individual switches are installed on other doors, enabling separate control of each door.
Hi, I drive a car with APS, so convenient! APS stands for Automatic Parking System, simply put, the car can find a parking spot by itself. For city drivers like me, when encountering narrow alleys or crowded supermarket parking lots, just press a button, and the car uses cameras and radar to scan for a suitable spot, controlling the steering wheel and throttle on its own. It saves a lot of time and avoids the risk of scraping walls. Although it felt a bit unfamiliar at first, once you get used to it, it's truly hassle-free, especially for lazy people like me. A quick reminder: it needs to keep the sensors clean from dust, otherwise, it might not recognize spots accurately, but fortunately, the maintenance cost isn't high. I recommend beginners start with the simple mode first.
