However, besides controlling the steering wheel, gas pedal, and brakes, drivers also have to operate numerous car switches. So, what are the functions of these switches, where are they located, and how to use them correctly? This article by Hanoi Truck will answer all these questions.

I. What are Car Switches? Classification of Car Switches

Car switches are electronic components that act as “keys” to control the electrical systems in a vehicle. When activated, a switch will close or open an electrical circuit, thereby turning on/off corresponding functions such as lights, wipers, air conditioning, etc.

Based on their function, car switches can be classified into various groups:

  • Lighting System Control Switches: Including headlight switches, low beam switches, fog light switches, turn signal switches, etc.
  • Entertainment System Control Switches: Including audio switches, infotainment screen switches, navigation system switches, etc.
  • Climate Control System Switches: Including A/C on/off switches, temperature control switches, air intake mode switches, etc.
  • Safety System Control Switches: Including central locking switches, automatic door lock switches, electronic stability control switches, etc.
  • Other Function Control Switches: Including wiper switches, sunroof switches, rearview mirror switches, etc.
