What does PWR mean on a car?
1 Answers
PWR on a car refers to the Power Mode button. When this button is pressed, the indicator light will illuminate. Compared to normal mode, in Power Mode, the transmission delays upshifting to provide stronger acceleration. The driving modes of a car include: 1. ECT Normal Mode: Used for regular driving to save fuel; 2. Power Mode: Used for enhanced acceleration and sporty driving; 3. Snow Mode: Used for slippery road surfaces, where the rear wheels' spinning can be appropriately controlled. When the car is in PWR mode, the throttle response becomes more aggressive, or the shift RPM stabilizes to achieve robust power. It also alters the chassis' filtering effect, making the shock absorber damping stiffer to obtain direct road feedback.
