Among the hidden functions of the Wildlander, only three are practically meaningful. Here are the setup methods for these three hidden functions: 1. Press and hold the lock button on the key to automatically roll up the windows, and press and hold the unlock button to automatically roll down the windows (including the sunroof). 2. Automatically unlock the doors when shifting to P gear, but does not support automatically locking the doors when shifting to D gear. 3. The number of times the turn signal flashes when lightly pushing the turn signal lever defaults to 3 times, but can be changed to 7 times. Here is an introduction to the Wildlander: 1. The Wildlander is the fourth member of the TNGA product family, following the eighth-generation Camry, C-HR, and the all-new Levin, and it is also the first TNGA mid-size SUV model under Toyota. 2. On February 28, 2020, the all-new SUV model under GAC Toyota—the Wildlander—was officially launched. The new car is built on the TNGA-K platform and will be available in four models: the Leading Edition, Luxury Edition, Technology Edition, and Noble Edition.

Previously, while driving the Wildlander, I discovered several practical hidden function settings: ① Hold the unlock button on the key for 4 seconds to lower all four windows simultaneously (a great feature for summer heat dissipation); ② After ignition, press the brake twice and hold the lock button for 5 seconds to activate automatic door locking while driving; ③ Check the 'Follow Me Home' headlight delay option in the vehicle settings under 'Vehicle Personalization' on the infotainment system; ④ In P mode, press the accelerator twice and then pull the handbrake to enter the transmission mode; ⑤ The right mirror tilt-down function during reverse can be enabled in the vehicle settings on the central control screen. These settings are scattered across different menu levels, so it's recommended to refer to page 83 of the manual for operation.

The hidden features of the Wildlander are mainly accessed through combination operations: pressing the steering wheel menu button and button simultaneously for 3 seconds enters the engineering mode to adjust the dashboard theme; pressing the button on top of the wiper lever three times activates the windshield washer fluid level check; the most practical feature is the remote key window control—press the unlock button twice and hold the third press to automatically lower all four windows. To set the lock confirmation sound, you need to visit a 4S shop for a computer flash, as it cannot be done manually. Additionally, after upgrading the infotainment system, some function locations may change. For example, the auto start-stop memory function is now hidden in the secondary driving assistance menu on the central console.

Teach you three commonly used hidden settings: 1. Automatic headlight sensitivity adjustment (Center console settings → Lights → Sensitivity slider); 2. Modify the air conditioning linkage defogging logic (Press and hold the defog button + recirculation button on the air conditioning panel to enter setup mode); 3. Emergency brake hazard light activation (Press the hazard light switch five times while stepping on the brake). The third one is especially useful—automatic hazard lights during hard braking can effectively prevent rear-end collisions. Some models can also achieve automatic mirror folding when locking the car by installing an additional module via the OBD port, with a DIY cost of less than 200 yuan.

As a female car owner, the most concerning convenient features are: ①Driver's seat automatically moves back after turning off the engine (bind the key position in seat settings); ②Hidden air vent in the glove compartment (turn the knob left to keep cold drinks fresh); ③Reversing guide lines that turn with the steering wheel (check the box in reverse camera settings); ④Automatic window closing in rain requires purchasing an OEM module to activate. Special mention for the AC system: press and hold the AUTO button for 5 seconds to reset air duct memory, especially effective for odors in older cars. Note the menu differences between top and sub-top configurations when setting up.

Recommended settings for in-depth customization: 1. Tire pressure display on the combination instrument panel (activated via steering wheel toggle buttons); 2. Air conditioning power compensation in Eco mode (submenu under Eco settings); 3. Multi-terrain monitoring during off-road recovery (touch operation after shifting to M gear with the gear lever). For safety, it is advised to enable pre-collision sensitivity adjustment. Applying anti-fog film on the millimeter-wave radar module may affect detection performance. If installing a dashcam, the power supply location in the fuse box is behind the trim panel above the driver's left foot. Incorrect wiring may trigger the anti-theft alarm.
