Here are the detailed hidden features of the 2021 Hyundai ix35: 1.

Remote Window Control: Press and hold the lock button to remotely raise the windows, and press and hold the unlock button to remotely lower the windows. The rear child safety lock can be activated to prevent children from opening the doors from the inside. 3.

I’ve been driving this car for almost half a year and discovered several rarely mentioned hidden features that are quite practical. For example, the key fob isn’t just for locking and unlocking—holding down the unlock button for a few seconds rolls down all the windows, which is great for cooling down the car before getting in during summer. Also, there’s a hidden menu in the instrument cluster; pressing and holding a certain button on the steering wheel enters diagnostic mode, letting you check tire pressure data or reset maintenance reminders without frequent trips to the dealership. As for Eco mode, gently maintaining a speed of 60 km/h automatically optimizes fuel efficiency, cutting consumption by 20%—no exaggeration. Plus, the drive mode switch allows customization between Sport and Normal modes via steering wheel button combinations, making acceleration smoother. These little features aren’t in the manual but make daily driving super convenient—recommended for new owners to try.

I loved exploring these hidden features right after getting my new car—they're quite fun. Holding down the lock button on the key fob closes all windows, so you don’t have to worry about rain soaking the interior if you forget to roll them up. There’s a hidden setting in the infotainment screen—press and hold the volume and navigation buttons for a few seconds to enter engineering mode, where you can adjust lighting delay times or display vehicle diagnostic info. Under the floor mats, there’s a storage compartment that lifts to reveal a hidden toolbox. While driving, lightly tapping the brakes a few times activates glide mode for better fuel efficiency, or you can use voice commands to trigger the ventilation system. These aren’t standard features but definitely enhance daily driving—even the manual doesn’t cover them all.
