What does the 'front' button in a car mean?

The 'front' button in a car is used to control the windshield defroster. It is the switch for the car's defroster. The front windshield defroster symbol is a fan-shaped pattern with three upward lines, while the rear windshield defroster symbol is a rectangular pattern with three upward lines. The defroster switch controls the defroster, which can reduce moisture, fog, and frost on the front and rear glass surfaces to improve visibility. When there is fog on the window, pressing the defroster switch will light up the indicator, and after the defroster works for a while, the fog on the glass will disappear. After a predetermined time, the defroster automatically turns off. It is important to note that to prevent battery drain, avoid unnecessary continuous operation of the defroster and de-icing system for extended periods.
I guess you're referring to the 'front' button on the AC panel, right? That thing is actually the switch controlling the front air vents. Many cars have dual-zone climate control - press 'front' for the front seats and 'rear' for the back seats. When the indicator light turns on, it means the front AC is activated, allowing you to independently adjust temperature and fan speed on your side. Keeping 'front' on during winter is especially helpful for defogging windows, as the warm air blows directly onto the windshield for quick clearing. Whenever I encounter unfamiliar functions, checking the owner's manual in the glove compartment always helps - it contains illustrated explanations for all buttons.
