The translation of "drive without car" headlight mode used for EN76 need update

[KagurazakaYukari]

The "drive without car" headlight mode on EN76/96, marked as mode "L", is a headlight mode the red markers on both ends.

There is also a Polish translation in the game calling this "jazda luzem", which I couldn't get the meaning of, even by translation tool.

If it's "loose driving", such meaning seems so weird. How to describe this?

If it's a mode that does some kind of shunting, it can't because this type of train usually does such operation at night, and how can it drive when it can't see anything in front?

If it's the same as "Pc5" it also doesn't make sense. EN76/96 is an EMU train and you can't decouple it into single-carriage cars, the train will not move anywhere.

Could it be for parking the train as a hot spare or will not use in a short period but need to keep online? If so, it's a pretty common light mode around the world.

It's used when the EMU is being towed with its batteries on, and I use it when it's parked as well 🙂

Oh wow okay~ That's actually really practical!

I think the translation of it should be updated, the "drive without car" really makes the player or even translator feels confused.

I asked this yesterday but people including kojonek and miko don't understand what is it either.

That's how the manufacturer's manual states - it's "Jazda luzem", so when a loco is going without any cars. I don't know why did they call it like that, but the translation is correct.

[KagurazakaYukari]

Well... That's the most confusing part...

How to understand "without any cars"? If it's being towed does it means without self-power or without self-driving?

"without any cars" as when the whole train consists only of the single loco. That's called "jazda luzem". The light setting here would be used for when the EMU breaks down and has to be towed without self-power, but with its driver inside taking care of it.
