There Are Several Hidden Functions Of Cars That Can Even Save Lives in Emergencies

Sep 10, 2025

Nowadays, the technology of cars is advancing rapidly, and their configurations are getting more and more sophisticated. However, in reality, some components may have been seen or used, but one might not have anticipated such uses. These are usually unknown "hidden" functions. Some of these functions enhance daily driving safety, while others can save your life in emergencies.

 

Today, I will share with you four practical hidden functions among them.


In gangster movies, it's often seen that, without any reason, someone is knocked unconscious and then thrown into the trunk.

 

Although such scenes usually only occur in movies, what should one do if it really happens to oneself? Should one just wait helplessly in the trunk? Actually, there is no need for that. As early as the last century, many manufacturers installed escape device switches in the trunks. In emergencies, pulling them can open the trunk, and they are usually located on both sides or the top of the trunk. Besides enjoying the sunset view at dusk, many car owners are actually affected by the glaring sunlight while driving normally.

Although almost all car owners know to lower the sunshade to block the direct sunlight at this time, what if the sunlight comes from the side? Here, I will tell you a hidden function. That is, the sunshade can actually rotate to the side. Follow the directions in the picture to remove it, then rotate it and install it to the side latch to block the glaring light from the side. There is also a relatively practical hidden function for the dashboard. And for car owners who often travel long distances and refuel, they probably know about it too late. When refueling, it is necessary to open the fuel tank cover, but not all models have the fuel tank cover on the same side.

 

Some are on the left, and some are on the right. At this time, you can look at the arrow in the fuel tank symbol on the dashboard. If the head points in that direction, the fuel tank cover will be in the direction of the arrow. Only when the seat belt is fastened at the appropriate position can the safety guarantee be maximized. However, not everyone's height and body type are the same. The seat belt needs to be fastened below the shoulders, not the neck. Otherwise, it is not safe and even more dangerous. Currently, the height-adjustable function of the seat belt has become a standard feature. This function can be easily noticed by looking carefully.
