What does 'auto' mean on Volkswagen cars?
1 Answers
Auto translates to 'automatic' in English. The Auto switch can appear in several locations on a car, and its function varies depending on its position. 1. Auto switch for automatic air conditioning: On an automatic air conditioning system, pressing the Auto switch will allow the system to automatically adjust the cabin temperature and airflow. Note that if you manually adjust the fan speed, air vent position, or defogger switch, the automatic mode will be canceled. 2. Auto switch for wipers: If there is an Auto switch on the wiper control, it means the vehicle is equipped with rain-sensing wipers. When the wiper is set to the Auto position, the wipers can detect the size of raindrops via a rain sensor and automatically adjust their speed accordingly. 3. Auto switch for lights: An Auto switch for lights indicates automatic headlights. When the light switch is set to the Auto position, the headlights can detect changes in ambient brightness via a light sensor. The headlights will automatically turn on when it gets dark outside and turn off when it becomes bright enough. 4. Auto switch for windows: The Auto switch on the driver's side window control means the window has one-touch up/down functionality. Pressing the Auto switch all the way down and releasing it will automatically fully open the window. Pulling the Auto switch all the way up and releasing it will automatically fully close the window. To stop the window midway, pull or press the Auto switch in the opposite direction and then release it.
