What does 'on' mean in a car?

Car 'on' means turning on. By rotating the key to the 'on' position, you can power up the car. If you continue to turn it to the 'start' position, you can start the engine. The one-button start is a part of smart cars, which is a button device that simplifies the ignition process and can also be used to turn off the engine. The one-button start can be retrofitted at the original key lock position or installed as an independent panel. The functions of the one-button start intelligent system include: automatic unlocking, automatic locking, automatic window closing, automatic anti-theft, one-button start, one-button shutdown, automatic locking before driving, automatic unlocking when parking and turning off the engine, as well as the function of opening the trunk.
Someone recently asked me about this, 'car on' simply means the engine is started and the vehicle is in a working state, ready to move as soon as you press the accelerator. Don't underestimate this action—it activates all electronic systems, like dashboard lights and air conditioning. After driving a lot, I've noticed that especially during cold starts in winter, it's normal for the engine to sound a bit louder. Don't rush to drive; let the car warm up for a few dozen seconds to extend the engine's lifespan. By the way, occasionally pay attention to the fuel consumption after starting—it might be slightly higher, but this is to ensure driving safety. Checking the dashboard for any warning lights can prevent breakdowns on the road.
