What is the LOR switch in a car?
2 Answers
lor is the adjustment switch for the rearview mirrors. Turning it to L adjusts the left rearview mirror, O turns it off, and R adjusts the right rearview mirror. Here is some information about rearview mirrors: To observe the left, right, and rear conditions while driving, car rearview mirrors are essential. Vehicles are equipped with rearview mirrors on the left, right, and inside, and their position and angle should be suitable for the vehicle model.
The LOR switch is generally the off-road tire pressure indicator light switch, with the full name being Light Off Road. When pressed while driving on unpaved roads, a yellow tire symbol with wavy lines will illuminate on the dashboard. This feature is quite practical—for example, when we drive on mountain roads, the tire pressure monitoring can be overly sensitive and prone to false alarms. Activating this function automatically widens the tire pressure alert range, so you don’t have to worry about alarms going off from minor bumps on gravel roads. However, it's important to remember to turn it off on paved roads; otherwise, actual air leaks might go unnoticed. On some rugged off-road vehicles, this button also integrates with the 4WD linkage function.
