Car owners know the joys and pitfalls of having a car. Sure, our lives would be much more difficult without them, but if you own a vehicle, you know it doesn’t always make our lives easier – it can also add some frustration occasionally. Luckily, some clever drivers have figured out sneaky ways around some of our most common car complaints and shared them online. So whether you’ve been on the road for years or you’re learning your way around a new car, keep these tips in your back pocket for a whole new view of the road.
#1: Manual Lock Doors
Electronic doors must be one of the auto industry’s best inventions ever. You can stick your keys deep in a bag and never have to worry about fishing around for them. And when your hands are full, that’s a huge lifesaver! However, sometimes your electronic key runs out of battery; what happens then?
Fortunately, car companies anticipated this. They knew there would be a risk of being locked out of your car, so they included a manual key. It’s hidden inside your fob; you have to explore it to find the release button. Then, examine your car door handle. If the lock isn’t immediately apparent, check underneath the handle. It may be hidden there!
