What does the AMS button in the car mean?
2 Answers
AMS in the car stands for Alternator-Management-System, which refers to the power management system. Here is more information about AMS: 1. Function: Cars equipped with the AMS power management system can use the generator to measure the battery status through current sensors, adjust the generator load according to driving conditions, and control battery charging and discharging, thereby improving fuel efficiency and extending battery life. 2. Power distribution: The AMS system manages power distribution, optimizing the engine's power supply. 3. During driving: Dynamic power management allocates the current generated by the generator to different electrical components as needed. When the current generated exceeds the demand of the electrical components, it regulates and supplies power to the battery, ensuring it reaches the optimal charging state.
That AMS button is really practical in our car. Having driven for over a decade, I used to manually adjust the seat and rearview mirrors every time someone else drove – what a hassle! Now with AMS, the Automatic Memory System, it remembers different users' preferred settings like seat position, steering wheel height, and mirror angles. Just one press restores everything instantly, perfect for multi-driver households. My wife and I have a big height difference – she used to complain about discomfort, but now a single button press makes her comfortable. Plus, it pairs with car keys – different keys automatically recall different memory settings, effortless convenience. One note: occasional glitches may occur (e.g., settings not loading), usually due to fuse issues or button contact problems – easily fixed. Overall, this feature significantly improves convenience, highly recommended for car-sharing families.
