What does the view button on a car mean?
2 Answers
The view button on a car is used to switch between different information displays on the dashboard. 'View' can be translated as 'to view' or 'to check'. Extended functions of car buttons: 1. Autohold is the automatic parking function button; 2. OK and SEL buttons are menu selection confirmation buttons, usually located on the multifunction steering wheel; 3. AC button is the compressor switch, which controls the air conditioning cooling; 4. VOL is the button for adjusting volume increase or decrease; 5. MUTE is the mute button; 6. MODE is the mode switching button; 7. SET on the multifunction steering wheel is the cruise control function button; 8. INFO is the information display function key.
You'll know once you try this button in our car—'view' means to switch display interfaces. I usually press it while driving to cycle through the content on the small central screen of the dashboard. One press changes from current speed to instant fuel consumption, another press shows tire pressure or remaining range—it's quite handy. Some models even use it to switch between different auxiliary line angles for the reversing camera. This button is typically located near the steering wheel, sometimes on the wiper control stalk or the center console. When using it, avoid frequent switching on bumpy roads to prevent distraction—safety first. I recommend all owners test their specific model's features; often, the manual notes that a long press can also reset trip information.
