1. Front passenger airbag deployment
It would seem that a completely unnecessary and contrary to common sense function actually performs the most important role of preserving the life of a passenger who is not yet 12 years old. The explosive power of "airbags" is capable of seriously crippling both a child and a pregnant woman, therefore, before by installing a child seat on the front seat, take care to activate the safety mode on the side torpedoes.
2. Adjusting the height of the seat belts
The function is intended for drivers of different heights. Short people who use the extreme upper position risk serious injuries to the neck, shoulder and collarbone when the belt is pulled sharply. Now that you are aware of the new capability of your vehicle, adjust the seat belt for your height before driving. In the event of a collision, this will save your life with minimal consequences for your health.
3. Locking doors in automatic mode
A useful function, especially for residents of large cities, when unauthorized access to the car can be performed almost on the go.
Hold down the arming key until you hear the familiar beep. Now, before moving off, the car will first of all close all doors automatically, and you will no longer you will be worried that at one of the intersections an attacker will try to illegally get into your automobile.
4. Rear door lock
Experienced drivers will probably know about this useful feature that avoids children opening doors while driving. But a novice car enthusiast may be confused by the presence of additional devices near the location of the locking mechanism. When transporting small children in the back seat of the car, slide the pull tab or turn the rocker switch to the “Lock” position, and then the door can only be opened from the outside.
5. Emergency braking with electronic handbrake
No one is immune from a sudden loss of communication between the brake pedal and the vehicle's braking system. This can happen for a variety of reasons, but if you have an electronically controlled handbrake, be aware that you can quickly stop a racing car by holding the parking brake button for a long time. Electronic braking uses the vehicle's brake lights to avoid accidents.
6. Rearview mirror night mode
More experienced drivers have been using this convenient feature for a very long time, but for beginners, this "innovation" can be a real discovery. Now, by snapping off the tab on the back of the mirror, you can darken its surface so that cars coming behind you cannot dazzle your eyes, even if it is a high beam.
7. Blocking the operation of the rear power windows
And again, it is about child safety, because when we buy a family car, we first of all think about our children.
The automatic operation of the window regulators has already caused numerous injuries due to pinching of the fingers between the glass and the car door. To prevent this from happening to your child, look for a small button next to the power window control panel on the door trim. Pressing it will not allow children to lower and raise the glass on their own.
8. Parking lights
Parking in a poorly lit courtyard by the side of the road can cause a lot of trouble for the driver, because passing cars inadvertently can hook on the side of your car and hide in an unknown direction.
Parking lights will help eliminate the risk of "blind collision". Their advantage is that they turn on only from one side, while only two lamps are lit with a dim light, which allows you to designate a car for the whole night without risking running out of the battery. To turn on the parking lights, move the swing lever to the desired side and arm the car.

9. "Service" mode of the wiper blades
Works on cars where the wipers are hidden deep under the bonnet. To clean the glass from ice, turn off the ignition and move the wiper handle to the down position. First, you should remove the coarse ice and free the brushes from the glass. Switching to the service mode will push the wiper mechanism outward, and they can be raised, like on any other car.
Most of the functions in the car are aimed at the safety of passengers. Why can a car catch fire and how to prevent this?
