Here are the detailed hidden features of the 2021 Hyundai ix35: 1. Phone Slot: There is a hidden phone slot under the center console that supports wireless charging and also has USB and 12V power outlets. 2. 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. Mechanical Key: If the remote fails, the remote key can be converted into a mechanical key to open the door and start the vehicle.

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.

Why Does the Steering Wheel Make Noise When Turning?

Steering wheel noise during turning is related to bearings, the engine, and interfering components. Bearing factors: As the core component bearing the vehicle's weight and providing rotational capability to the tires, bearings may become damaged under daily stress, affecting driving performance. Engine factors: Technical conditions of certain engine mechanisms may have changed due to excessive part wear, improper assembly or adjustment; or reduced lubrication between components leading to dry friction sounds. Interfering component factors: Interference with adjacent components causing plastic deformation, or insufficient grease between friction surfaces in the steering system resulting in dry or semi-dry friction that produces abnormal noises. Solutions: Noise during initial turning is likely caused by failed shock absorber pressure bearings - replacement is needed. This issue also relates to routine maintenance. Regular inspections for part wear should be conducted, with lubrication added to bearing components to reduce friction.

Which has priority, left lane change or right lane change?

At intersections, left turns have the right of way. Below is relevant information about intersections: 1. Introduction to intersections: An intersection refers to a level crossing where two or more roads meet on the same plane. On December 1, 2017, the "Specification for English Translation in Public Service Areas" was officially implemented, stipulating that the standard English term for an intersection is Crossroads or Intersection. 2. Roads: Here, roads refer to all roads as defined in the supplementary provisions of the "Road Traffic Safety Law," including urban roads, alleys, lanes, and highways. However, the intersection of alleys or lanes with sidewalks on both sides of urban streets is not considered an intersection; the level crossing of highways with rural paths not classified as highways is also not considered an intersection; nor are level crossings of railways and roads considered regulated intersections here. For motor vehicle passage at railway crossings, the "Road Traffic Safety Law" and the "Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law" have specific provisions.

Why Can't You Drive When the Transmission Warning Light Is On?

You should not continue driving when the transmission warning light is on. Reasons: Do not blindly continue driving to prevent severe damage to the transmission. If the transmission warning light is on but the engine speed and vehicle speed are normal, you may continue driving. However, if any driving issues arise, visit a 4S shop as soon as possible to check for faults and avoid potential hazards. Function of the Transmission: The transmission changes the gear ratio, expands the range of torque and speed variation of the driving wheels, and allows the vehicle to reverse while maintaining the engine's rotation direction. It enables engine startup and gear shifting. The transmission consists of a gear transmission mechanism and a control mechanism. Precautions: If the electronic components of the automatic transmission (sensors, solenoid valves, or the control module) experience intermittent or persistent failures, the engine warning light may illuminate. In such cases, remain vigilant and promptly check for any faults.

17-inch Wheels: 215 or 225?

If the original vehicle has 195/65/R15 tires, switching to 225/45/R17 is the most suitable option as there will be no change in diameter and circumference, ensuring no deviation in the speedometer and odometer. Using 215 tires may result in a slight deviation, but the impact is minimal. Below is the relevant information: 1. Wheel Hub: The wheel hub is the rotating part of the wheel steel connected through pillars inside the tire, which is the metal component mounted on the axle that supports the tire. It is also known as the wheel rim, steel rim, or tire ring. Wheel hubs come in various types based on diameter, width, forming method, and material. 2. Size: The wheel hub size refers to the diameter of the wheel hub, with 15 and 16 inches indicating the size (diameter) of the wheel hub. Generally, in passenger cars, larger wheel hub sizes with higher tire aspect ratios can create a visually appealing tension effect and improve the stability of vehicle handling. However, this comes with the additional issue of increased fuel consumption.

Should the foot always stay on the accelerator in a manual transmission car?

In a manual transmission car, the foot does not need to stay on the accelerator all the time. When braking is needed, the foot should be placed on the brake pedal. Pre-departure check: Before setting off each day, conduct a comprehensive vehicle inspection, including checking for oil or water leaks, measuring tire pressure to ensure it is appropriate, inspecting the engine oil condition to verify its color is normal and the oil level is correct. Safe driving: Use seat belts correctly. In the event of a severe collision, seat belts provide protection no less effective than airbags. Avoid fatigued driving and take breaks every 2 hours. Traffic rule compliance: Especially on highways, do not exceed speed limits. Speeding may not only result in traffic police penalties but, more importantly, is unsafe.

What Tools Are Needed for Motorcycle Travel?

Motorcycle travel requires preparation of simple repair tools such as spark plugs, inner tubes, tire repair fluid, chain links, and a pump (or inflator). Precautions for motorcycle riding: Avoid racing with cars, drive safely in accordance with traffic regulations, and yield to pedestrians. Do not follow too closely; maintain an appropriate distance behind the right rear corner of the vehicle in front. When overtaking, pass from the left side of the vehicle ahead; overtaking from the right or between two parallel vehicles is prohibited. Speed limits for motorcycles: The speed of a motorcycle on the highway must not exceed 80 kilometers per hour. Exceeding this limit will result in penalties from traffic police. Additionally, riding on the highway without a helmet will lead to being stopped and fined by traffic police, and carrying passengers on the highway is strictly prohibited.
