In a car, 'int' in Chinese refers to intermittent operation, which is controlled by an intermittent relay. It utilizes the return switch contacts of the motor and the charge-discharge function of the relay's resistor and capacitor for operation. The functions of various buttons in a car are categorized as follows: 1. Start-stop button: Automatically turns off the engine during temporary stops and restarts it when the vehicle needs to proceed; 2. Fuel tank opening button: Used to remotely open the fuel tank cap from inside the car; 3. EPS switch: Turns the vehicle's electronic stability program on or off; 4. Central locking button: Controls the central locking system of the vehicle; 5. Headlight cleaning button: Controls the automatic cleaning function of the headlights.

I remember when I first started driving, I didn't know what 'int' meant either. Later, I saw it on the wiper stalk and realized it stands for intermittent wipers. This means in light rain or drizzle, the wipers don't operate continuously but automatically swipe every few seconds, saving energy and providing a quieter, more comfortable experience. I often drive long distances in light rain, and using this mode helps avoid excessive wiping that could distract my vision or cause faster wiper blade wear. The interval can usually be adjusted with a dial, ranging from a few seconds to over ten seconds, so you can test what works best for your preference. When the rain gets heavier, just switch to a higher setting to maintain focus and safety. Overall, it's a practical feature—I recommend checking your car's manual to learn how it works. Familiarizing yourself with these controls before driving always saves some hassle.

Over the years working at the auto repair shop, I often get asked what 'int' means. I explain it's the intermittent wiper control, designed for light rain conditions to prevent damage to vehicle components. If it stops working, it could be due to a short circuit or relay failure. As a mechanic, I always check the wiring connections and fuses first, as these simple fixes can quickly resolve the issue. Sometimes, an aging wiper motor can also affect the int function. I recommend regular sensor cleaning and functional testing to avoid being stranded in rainy weather. When driving myself, I always use int mode to save power, especially useful during city traffic jams with light drizzles. Though it's a small feature, it's quite important. Get it fixed early if malfunctioning - don't cut corners and compromise safety.

When I first got my new car, I didn't quite understand the 'int' function, but later discovered it's the intermittent wiper interval adjustment. It's quite considerate during light rain - wiping a few times then pausing briefly. I think despite all the modern car technologies, basic settings like 'int' are still convenient as they save you from constant manual adjustments. During light rain, keeping it on lets you focus more on road conditions, making it much more flexible than manual mode. Some cars even offer voice control for adjusting the 'int' interval, which I found even more effortless after trying. I'd recommend new drivers to experiment with these buttons more - it makes for quite an interesting driving experience.
