What does mist mean on a car?

[OJack]

mist is a gear on the vehicle's wiper that represents a single wipe of the wiper. In addition to the mist mentioned above, the car wiper also has four other working modes: int, lo, hl, and auto. int stands for automatic intermittent wiper. lo stands for continuous working wiper. hl indicates continuous high-speed working wiper. auto represents automatic sensing wiper, allowing the owner to select the appropriate wiper working mode based on the rainfall. When driving in rainy weather, simply adjust the wiper control lever to auto mode, and the automatic sensing wiper will start. The vehicle's sensor will then control the wiper's operating speed based on the intensity of the rainfall. In this mode, the wiper assists in driving safety by promptly and effectively removing rainwater from the windshield, providing the driver with a clear view and ensuring driving safety in rainy conditions.

I've been driving for twenty years and I'm quite familiar with these buttons in cars. The "Mist" is usually the fog light switch, typically located near the steering wheel or on the dashboard. When activated, the front lights emit a highly penetrating beam, specifically designed to improve visibility when driving in fog, as regular headlights scatter in fog and make the road hard to see. I once encountered heavy fog on the highway, and after turning on the fog lights, I could finally see a few meters ahead, avoiding a potential rear-end collision. Remember, in low visibility, turning on the fog lights can save your life, but you must turn them off when the weather improves, otherwise, they can dazzle other drivers and create safety hazards. During regular car maintenance, it's also important to check if the fog light bulbs are burnt out or if there's poor circuit contact. These minor issues are easy to overlook but are crucial.

When I first bought my car, the "Mist" button confused me a bit. Later, I realized it's for the fog lights. Simply put, find this button in the car and press it, the lights will turn on specifically for foggy conditions or environments with mist, helping you see the road ahead. I used to press it randomly without understanding, ending up turning on the fog lights on a clear day, and oncoming drivers kept flashing their high beams to signal me to turn them off—it was a bit embarrassing. So, it's important to use it only when necessary, like during heavy rain or smog. I recommend new drivers practice a few times to get familiar with the operation, and use it in combination with the air recirculation function. Managing both the internal and external environments well makes driving more reassuring. Don't worry, this feature is quite practical; with more practice, it becomes second nature.

As someone who frequently works on cars, the "Mist" button refers to the fog light control switch. When activated, it supplies power to the bulb through wiring, with the light penetrating the fog layer to improve visibility. The design avoids interference with the main lights, but it's essential to ensure there are no short circuits or blown fuses when using it. I've seen many cases where components burned out because owners forgot to turn them off. During maintenance, simply clean the connectors regularly and check the voltage. The operation is straightforward—just press to illuminate—but the key is to use it properly without unnecessary tampering.
