Driving experience doesn't come in a day or even a couple of trips. It takes literally years to develop. Therefore, it should not be surprising that many motorists, especially among beginners, are unfamiliar with the purpose of absolutely every button and switch in their "swallow". Today we will focus on just such three "unpopular" buttons.
1. "Shift Lock"
There are more and more cars with automatic transmission on the market today. It is quite obvious that mechanics are not ready to sink into oblivion (and most likely this will not happen until the cars are radically changed). Nevertheless, cars with automatic transmission are becoming more and more. For many compatriots, such cars are completely a curiosity.
That is why one should not be surprised that even the happy owners of cars with “automatic” do not know anything about the purpose of the “Shift Lock” button. It is needed for one single purpose - automatic transfer of the auto box to neutral mode. In the case of an automatic transmission, the button is needed in order to perform an inconsistent gear change without starting the engine. Useful when you need to push the car somewhere.
2. Disable alarm
An alarm in a car is an extremely useful thing - it scares off car thieves, makes neighbors nervous, drives yard cats and crows to hysteria. Every motorist at least guesses that a car (especially with a standard alarm) should have some kind of emergency shutdown. And there really is such a button! Most often, this switch is located directly on the car's torpedo, among many other buttons. So, it's worth taking a closer look at her.

It is more difficult with cars on which the factory did not install the alarm system. In this case, the alarm button can be anywhere. Even in the glove compartment. If you install the alarm yourself, then the location of the emergency shutdown button should be immediately clarified with the masters.
3. Air recirculation
Amazingly, many modern motorists either do not even know about the presence of such a function, or do not understand its purpose. One way or another, the button with the image of a car and a wrapped arrow inside it remains a mystery to many fellow citizens. In fact, the thing is extremely useful.

The essence of this function is that it blocks the access of air to the car from the outside. It is useful to do this when the car starts to "smoke" or it gets into an area with "spoiled" air. The air recirculation function is especially useful when the air conditioner is operating. With it, the interior will cool down much faster.
