What does 'auto' mean on car windows?
1 Answers
Auto on car windows refers to the automatic mode. When auto is activated, you only need to press the window switch once instead of holding it down, and the window will open or close automatically. Additionally, auto may also be used for the car's air conditioning system, where turning on auto allows for automatic temperature adjustment. The term 'auto' has two other applications: for headlights and windshield wipers, indicating automatic headlights and automatic wipers. Headlight switches currently come mainly in rotary knob or toggle styles. Vehicles equipped with auto headlight switches will automatically adjust brightness in low-light conditions. Automatic wipers also need to be set to the auto position to control wiper frequency based on vehicle speed.
