Shit People May Not Know About Their Cars

Post any features your car has that others may not know because they didn't read their fucking owner's manuals (or perhaps you have read it, but missed something).

It has to be a factory feature and not something aftermarket.

I'm not sure about older Honda Accords, since the model I have received upgrades before the facelift, but my 2005 LX has the ability to have all windows roll down remotely - press the unlock button once and then press it again, but hold it; you can also do this on the door, by turning and holding the key (counter)clockwise.

I'm assuming the main reason for that feature is for convince on a hot day.

Or if you're a dumbfuck parent who left your kid in the car, having the windows rolled down remotely could save the kid's life in time, instead of racing all the way back to the car.

But then that will leave the kid vulnerable to kidnappers.

Disable the seat belt chime in Ford trucks by some combination of turning key, turning lights on and off and clicking/ unclicking seatbelt. Searbelt light will flash 3 times and then the chime will be deactivated until you re-activate it.

Automatic seatbelts are terrible but many insurance companies will give a small discount for having them.

It was news to me.

That's standard these days. I was given that as a feature on new Vauxhalls, and there's a button on the key for it.
My Focus can do it, but I don't know how. I've only ever done it by accident while trying to do some maintenance task with the keys in my pocket.
Focus:
You can apparently have the car interface with your phone, read out text messages, write them on the dashboard or do speech-to-text, and handle phone calls for you. I discovered that while reading the manual, and decided I couldn't be bothered.

Stealth mode is below 40MPH and 2k RPM. Nothing will hear you coming. That's why I drive with lights on pretty much constantly in winter; people don't SEE it either.
Not a problem in summer because I can put the windows down and crank the stereo.

Sounds like a lot of trouble to go to in order to solve an issue that could ALSO be solved by using your goddamned seatbelt.

2nd gen mazda 6 (2009-2013)

Has auto locking doors. A certain distance away for a couple minutes and the doors auto lock on all trim levels.

If you get OEM TPMS sensors and put them in your aftermarket wheels, the TPMS system eventually resets and registers the new sensors without having to manually reset it.

The rear deck has a hole for a factory sub in all trim levels that fits any 8" sub.

At the same time, pull all 4 handles of a Skoda Octavia and all the glasses go down(if yours have an sunroof, that'll open too). This is a fucking safety feature and pls don't use it for illegal purposes.

All AW11s are project cars
