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 oven effect
Who hasn't opened their car door in the middle of summer only to be greeted by stifling heat? Some cars have a discreet system that ventilates the cabin immediately after the engine is switched off. The result: the interior temperature remains more bearable, even under intense sunlight. This option is often found in the advanced settings of the multimedia system, sometimes accessible via a combination of buttons when the engine is off. A valuable aid for preserving a bit of coolness before a journey.
Windshield wiper maintenance mode: a lifesaver on cold days
