The car is packed with a whole range of technological solutions that facilitate the operation and at the same time the life of car owners. That’s just not everyone uses all the functionality available in the machine’s arsenal. Let’s say more: the lion’s share of drivers do not even know many useful “chips”. Portal “AutoVzglyad” will talk about the most relevant of them.
If you already know about the fuel tank location indicator and locking the rear doors so kids can’t open them on the go, then you’re probably learning about some of its features for the first time. So remember.
WE OPEN THE WINDOWS WITHOUT BEING IN THE CAR
Almost every modern car has the function of unlocking windows with a smart key. In other words, you can lower or raise the windows without being in the car. To do this, you need to press and hold the auto-close key, after which all unlocked windows will be closed automatically. If you do the opposite, you need to lower the windows, for example for ventilation, and then press the button to open the car. After holding for a few seconds, the windows will go down by themselves. One can not help but agree: a very convenient and useful “gadget”.
LET’S KNOW IN ADVANCE WHEN THE WINDSCREEN WIPERS ARE CURVED
To understand when it is necessary to replace the “wipers” on the windshield, it is not at all necessary to wait for the process of their satisfactory operation. You can predict the future wear of the wipers by means of special markings. It is a yellow sticker on the brush, under which is an indicator that is sensitive to ultraviolet and changes color over time. Thus, the marking on the new “wiper blade” will always be black, changing to yellowish during use and wear, indicating to the driver that the wipers will soon need to be replaced. I bet you didn’t even know?
WE ADJUST YOUR SAFETY BELTS
Many have not even considered that you can adjust the seat belt to feel comfortable. Meanwhile, the adjustment is especially useful for tall and well-fed cabin occupants. The seat belt height adjustment button or latch is located on the body pillar in the same location where the seat belt itself is attached. With its help, the bracket loosens its attachment, allowing you to move the holder up or down. Handy if you get into the car after Nikolai Valuev or Passepartout.
OPENING THE TRUNK FROM THE INSIDE
Few people know about the possibility of opening the luggage compartment from the inside. Meanwhile, there is such a possibility. For this purpose, the vehicle is equipped with an emergency hook for unlocking the luggage compartment. The handle glows in the dark, making it easy to see. A very practical matter for those who, without permission, decided to drive instead of luggage or – God forbid – in an accident.
UNLOCK A FROZEN FUEL TANK IN A SECOND
Frozen fuel tank door? The problem is known. But there is no need at all to run home for boiling water or to a car shop for specialty chemicals. It is enough to pull the lever, carefully hidden by the automaker in the guts of the trunk. As a rule, it is located on the right under the skin in a niche for storing accessories or behind one of the storage flaps. Usually the auxiliary handle is painted red, so it will not be difficult to find it. The main thing is that the “gates” of the trunk itself do not freeze from the cold.
