Car's info button is an information display function key. Each press will cycle through the currently playing content on the screen (such as CD information, radio station, etc.). INFO is short for information, meaning "information" in Chinese. Meanings of various function buttons on car audio: PWR - power on/off, MODE - function switch, BAND - radio band switch, VOL - volume, MUT - mute, CLK - clock, AMS - scan, ENT - eject. It's commonly found on CD players and instrument panels. Pressing the INFO button in a car will display information like fuel consumption and remaining mileage on the instrument panel, including all vehicle information feedback. This not only includes fuel consumption and range, but also tire pressure, engine oil, electronic system information, etc.
I've been driving for over a decade, and the INFO button in my car is truly practical. Simply put, it's an information display button. With a press, various data pops up on the dashboard or screen to help you understand your vehicle's status. Common functions include average fuel consumption figures - I monitor my daily commute fuel usage to adjust driving habits and save money; trip distance statistics are perfect for long-distance planning; external temperature alerts prevent forgetting to open windows in hot weather; and audio settings display song titles or radio frequencies for easy music switching. Some models integrate navigation, showing directional arrows and distance to reduce distracted driving risks from checking phones. Maintenance pages like oil life reminders or tire pressure warnings allow advance preparation for servicing to ensure safety. Overall, this design enables smarter control of vehicle details - drivers can effortlessly switch information interfaces while driving with simple button presses, no complex operations needed.
