Hidden Features of Cars That Very Few People Know About

Imagine: you’re leaving the shops, it’s raining, and you realize you left the windows open… Don’t panic! On many models, simply  hold down the lock button on your key  to automatically close them all.

Small clarification:  This function is sometimes disabled by default and requires activation in the advanced settings or by a professional.

Light and rain under control

Do you find that your headlights turn on too early, or that your windshield wipers start at the slightest drop? The  sensitivity of these sensors is often adjustable  in the vehicle’s hidden menus.

Helpful Hint:  This option is rarely mentioned in manuals. A quick visit to the forums or a look around the settings is a must!

A car that recognizes you

Some keys can  remember your preferences  ! If multiple people are using the same car, each key can store a seat position, mirror angle, and even temperature.

A real gain in comfort:  You get on board, and everything is adjusted automatically, according to your habits.

A multimedia system full of surprises

Did you know that your touchscreen can hide a  diagnostic or cleaning mode  ? Some brands offer hidden functions, accessible by pressing a corner of the screen for several seconds.

Perfect for:  adjusting sound, resetting the screen, or performing a quick system check.

Folding rearview mirrors… automatically

The little detail that makes the difference:  the rearview mirrors that fold automatically when the vehicle is closed . Discreet but elegant!

Note:  This feature is sometimes disabled at the factory. It can be enabled from the onboard menu or by consulting a technician.

Because a car is not just a steering wheel and four wheels, but also an everyday ally full of resources to discover!
