What does 'car' mean on a vehicle?

The 'car' on a vehicle simply means automobile. The Audi CAR button's function is to quickly open the vehicle system settings interface. Pressing this button makes the multimedia central control screen directly jump to display the vehicle system interface, where various car settings can be adjusted such as driving mode selection, seat and air conditioning adjustments, parking assistance system, settings and services. Functions of various buttons in the car: 1. The SEL key is a menu selection confirmation button, usually located on the multifunction steering wheel; 2. The AC button is the compressor switch, which is the air conditioning cooling switch (since car heating doesn't require the compressor); 3. MUTE is the silence button for instant muting; 4. MODE is the mode switching button; 5. SET on the multifunction steering wheel is the cruise control function button.
I was fascinated by automotive history since childhood, so discussing the term 'car' is quite interesting. It actually originates from English, initially referring to wheeled vehicles like ancient horse-drawn carriages. With the development of the Industrial Revolution, it evolved into what we now call automobiles. In modern vehicles, 'car' serves as a generic term representing the entire vehicle body, including components like the engine and wheels. I think this word also reflects the transformation of cars from luxury items to mass transportation. Every time I drive, I can feel this progress. If you're curious about specific details, I recommend checking automotive museum archives – many historical photographs vividly showcase the evolution of this term.
