The following are the hidden features of the Camry: Reverse mirror: The reverse mirror tilts downward; Parking ventilation and heating system; Seat belt alarm; Tire pressure monitoring; Modified switch for automatic headlights. Startup features: Startup screen RS; Daytime running lights (when turned on, the tear-shaped lights stay on, the base model requires an additional lighting package); Lock sound; Eco driving mode (displays real-time fuel consumption and makes statistics, such as for air conditioning, etc.); Background lighting (can turn on footwell lights and adjust brightness); LED light brightness adjustment (adjusts tear-shaped light brightness); Fog light-assisted steering; High-speed braking hazard lights.
I discovered so many practical Easter eggs in my Camry after driving it for two years! Hold the unlock button on the car key for five seconds, and all four windows plus the sunroof will open fully for ventilation – no more burning your thighs when entering the car in summer. Press and hold the mirror fold button for three seconds to enable automatic folding when locking the car. The coolest feature? When turning the steering wheel to full lock during reversing, the infotainment screen displays blue trajectory lines predicting your path, making parallel parking foolproof for beginners. Stand near the trunk with the key for three seconds, and it automatically pops open – supermarket runs just got easier. The child lock hides discreetly along the door edge; a simple flick prevents backseat mischief-makers from operating windows. Customize the wiper stalk's top button as a voice assistant toggle to change songs hands-free. Bonus: Key-operated window controls still work after engine shutdown – no need to power up the car when realizing you forgot to close windows in the rain.
Last time during maintenance, I overheard the technician talking about some interesting hidden features of the Camry. When starting the car, if you press the brake pedal and double-click the start button, the dashboard will enter the maintenance diagnostic mode, allowing you to directly view the specific tire pressure values, which is more precise than the regular warning. Holding down the mileage reset button for ten seconds will automatically reset the oil maintenance reminder. Many people don't know how to initialize the window anti-pinch function: just hold the window switch in the up position for ten seconds until you hear a beep. For the infotainment system, pressing the volume knob and the MAP button simultaneously for five seconds can force a reboot if the navigation screen goes black. The rearview mirror heating is actually linked to the rear window defogger—pressing the defogger button automatically removes fog from the mirrors. The most useful feature is the three-flash turn signal setting, which can be changed to five flashes in the infotainment system for safer highway overtaking.
