Hidden Features of Most Cars

Every car has its own set of features. Some car brands advertise these features and some dealerships explain these features at the time of purchase but there are still some that you wouldn’t find in the owner’s manual. These are the hidden features that could come very handy for you.

Let’s take a look at some of them:

  • Gas Indicator

The little arrow next to the gas indicator on your dashboard is an indication of the side of the fuel door on your car. Most people do know where their fuel door is but in case you are driving a friend’s car or a rental car, this can be helpful.

  • Curry Hook

Nissan was the first car company to introduce curry hooks so that you could hang your shopping bags safely. Now, more and more cars offer these hooks to stow away your shopping bags.

  • Day/night Rear View Mirror

Experts at the Mercedes Benz service centre in Mumbai claim that more than 50% of the driving population is unaware that they can dip the rear-view mirror to avoid glare at night-time.

  • Flower Case
 
A feature that is not much of use but great for aesthetic purposes is the flower case in the Volkswagen Beetle. The Volkswagen service centre in Mumbai says that many people enquire about that little case on the dashboard and are pleasantly surprised to know that its meant to be used as a flower vase.
