We drive it every day, we think we know it inside and out… and yet! Behind the dashboard and its sometimes labyrinthine menus lie little-known options that make driving more enjoyable, more practical, and even a little magical. Have you ever had the feeling that your car could do more, without knowing exactly what? What if you were about to discover features as surprising as they are ingenious?
Clever ventilation to avoid the furnace effect
The wiper maintenance mode, a lifesaver on cold days
In winter, windshield wipers can freeze, making them difficult to operate. Some models have a specific mode that automatically raises them to the top position for easier cleaning or to prevent them from sticking. This option is usually activated with the engine off, via a dedicated button or a discreet submenu. A simple action, a significant time saver… and wipers that wear out less quickly.
No more maintenance reminders that persist for no reason
A service indicator light that stays on after a garage visit can be confusing. Many cars allow for a quick reset of the reminder, and some even display a countdown before the message disappears. This is a useful feature to avoid unnecessary stress and maintain a clear overview of essential information.
