People are only just discovering a secret car button that helps parents avoid annoying feature
A SECRET button that helps avoid an annoying feature on your car has been revealed.
A car whizz from Sixth Gear Wheels took to TikTok to quiz viewers on the switch’s function.
He posted a clip of himself sitting in a VW Polo before panning to the button down on the driver-side door.
The motors expert said: “This one’s for the Polo drivers.
“Do you guys know what this button is for?
“If you do, comment down below.
“I’m very interested in what you guys have to say.”
In the post’s caption, he added: “I’ve recently discovered his hidden button in the Polo Vivo.”
He then urged viewers to “take a guess” what it does.
Social media commenters were left stumped, while others offered joke responses.
One suggested it could be an ejector seat, while a second said it makes the little hatchback “faster than a Ferrari“.
However, a user named Mario Cisternas was the one to put them right.
He said: “It disables the alarm motion detection when you leave pets or people inside”.
This avoids the awkward scenario where, for example, you leave your furry friend or sulky teen in the car while nipping into the shops, only for the alarm to be set off by them moving around inside.
It comes after another TikToker explained a hidden feature on some cars that make them perfect for summer.
Meanwhile, a driver was left furious as selfish motorists snapped up parent-and-child spots at the local supermarket.
