What are the hidden features of the seventh-generation Accord?

Honda Accord's hidden feature is the 20 mph auto-lock function. This function activates when the vehicle starts moving and reaches 20 kilometers per hour for the first time, automatically locking the central control system to prevent unauthorized door opening during stops like at traffic lights, serving an anti-theft purpose. The specific steps to enable this function are as follows: 1. Open the driver's side door of the Honda Accord. 2. Press the brake pedal of the Honda Accord. 3. Press the one-touch start button of the Honda Accord to start the engine. 4. The dashboard lights up, indicating that the Honda Accord's engine has started. 5. Hold the door lock button for 5 seconds to complete the operation.
I've been driving the seventh-generation Accord for several years and discovered several hidden features that are quite practical. For example, pressing and holding the unlock button on the remote key for about five seconds automatically lowers all windows, which is especially convenient for cooling down the car in summer. There's also an auto-folding mirror feature—some higher trim models support it; just press and hold the lock button after parking to avoid manual adjustment. Below the driver's seat on the left, there's a small button combination that can bring up a hidden menu to set the delayed shutdown time for the air conditioning. Additionally, there's a secret compartment in the glove box, perfect for storing documents or small items securely. These features aren't detailed in the manual but enhance daily driving convenience. After figuring them out myself, I find the Accord's design quite thoughtful, especially suitable for commuters like me with long daily drives.
