What are the hidden features of the 2020 Mondeo?

Mondeo hidden features include auto-locking, etc. Auto-locking: The auto-locking function activates when the vehicle speed reaches 20 km/h, preventing the trunk or doors from being opened from the outside during traffic jams. Lock confirmation beep: After locking, the hazard lights flash and the horn sounds once, which is very useful for lock confirmation and vehicle locating. Tire pressure display: The tire pressure values are displayed in real-time on the dashboard, equivalent to the factory-installed tire pressure monitor. Central digital speed display: The speed value is displayed digitally in the center of the dashboard, effectively preventing speeding and improving driving safety. Reverse OPS display: Virtual display during reversing increases parking safety.
I've been driving this car for almost two years and found the hidden features quite practical. For example, the dashboard can display the power steering assist graph—just long-press the left button on the steering wheel, which is especially handy for observing force changes on mountain roads. Holding the unlock button on the key fob after locking the car remotely rolls down the windows, making it convenient to cool down the car in summer. There's also the delayed auto headlight shutdown feature—adjust the 'leave-home lighting' duration to 90 seconds in settings, so you don't have to walk in the dark when getting home at night. Additionally, long-pressing the SYNC and volume-down buttons on the center console enters engineering mode, where you can check detailed tire pressure for all four wheels and battery health status. My favorite is the hands-free trunk kick sensor—just keep the key in your pocket and swipe your foot under the rear bumper to open it, which is super useful when your hands are full after grocery shopping.
This car has several settings that are easy to miss unless you deliberately look for them. For example, the voice system can recognize dialects—just switch to Sichuanese or Cantonese mode in the voice assistant settings. Beyond the default colors, the ambient lighting can be expanded to more color options by connecting a diagnostic cable to a computer; I changed mine to ice blue, which makes nighttime driving very comfortable. The auto-dipping mirror feature requires shifting into reverse, adjusting the mirror angle, and saving the position—it will automatically tilt to that angle next time you reverse. The wiper service mode is also quite handy: flick the wiper stalk once immediately after turning off the engine to enter the maintenance position. Additionally, there's an air vent cleaning mode—hold down the air recirculation button to activate high-speed fan operation for dust removal.
