Hidden car latch has saved me SO many times at petrol station & it can help you out too… if you know where to look
A MOTORS whizz has unveiled a hidden car latch hack – and it’s a godsend at the petrol station.
Car expert @dutchintheusa has used his social media page to shares loads of hacks and tips all about driving, motors and features most drivers may not be aware of.
Normally, for most cars, the driver can open up the petrol tank cover manually.
For those unable to do so, the TikToker instructs drivers to open up the boot to access the manual latch.
Just give that a gentle tug and the petrol tank cover should open.
However, not all vehicle models will have this feature.
Viewers flocked to praise the influencer for the savvy tips.
Great tips,” one user said.
“The gas one has saved me so many times with rentals and cars I don’t typically drive.”
Another chimed in: “Good tips!”
It comes as motorists are just realising the “hidden” button which turns your motor into a race car – but there are some serious drawbacks.
Many modern vehicles have buttons which can change the functionality of your car at the flick of a switch.
Elsewhere, a man who lives in his Tesla has shared details of a “hidden” feature that makes life on the road much more comfortable.
The video – that was posted on TikTok – has sent the internet into a swirl, with many baffled motorists wondering how they didn’t know about the feature before.
