What does 'push' mean on a car?
1 Answers
In automotive terminology, 'push' refers to 'press' and has two common meanings: 1. The 'push' button in the center of the air vent control knob - when pressed (with indicator light on), it activates rear window defrosting; 2. The 'push' button in the center of the temperature control knob - when pressed (with indicator light on), it activates air recirculation mode. Typically, corresponding function icons or text will appear near the 'push' label, indicating that pressing activates that specific function. A knob with a central 'push' button signifies that the knob's center is pressable to enable certain features. Some car keys also feature a 'push' button, reminding owners that pressing it allows access to the mechanical key inside.
