In recent decades, the evolution of cars has been taking place at such an enormous pace that drivers sometimes simply cannot keep up with the latest innovations and achievements. Often, drivers drive their cars for many years and do not even suspect that their functionality and capabilities have improved as needed. Experts have identified 9 such features that often go unnoticed.
Color markings under the hood: when looking for the right parts and items in the engine compartment, drivers can often get confused about where and what is. Color-coded labels specifically separate different systems for easier maintenance and repair.
Hidden messages in cars: Some famous manufacturers, such as Jeep, Opel, Mercedes-Benz and Chrysler, put hidden messages or funny references in their cars.
Vase on VW Beetle dashboard: Since the 1950s, Volkswagen Beetle models have been equipped with a small vase on the dashboard. It can be used not only for living flowers, but also for storing pens, toothpicks or even cosmetics.
Hidden cargo compartments: Many cars have hidden luggage compartments that can increase luggage space, such as the Honda Jazz and Civic with the Magic Seat system.
BMW brake drying system: a very useful feature when driving in rainy weather. The system automatically activates when moisture gets on the brake pads. This allows you to quickly restore the normal operation of the brakes and avoid an accident.
