What does PWR mean in cars?

[DeKaleb]

In cars, PWR stands for the setting of the electronic throttle. When pressed, the throttle response becomes quicker, delaying upshifts to achieve peak torque. During driving, pressing the accelerator deeply may even result in multiple downshifts. PWR is usually the NORM mode. When the mode selection switch is pressed, the PWR mode is selected, and the indicator light will illuminate. In this mode, the vehicle's power is stronger than in NORM mode after startup. Pressing the PWR and NORM mode selection switch again will turn off the indicator light. In PWR (Power) mode, the ECTPWR light on the dashboard illuminates, the transmission shifts into higher gears at higher vehicle speeds, and shifts into lower gears more sensitively than in normal mode.
