This ingenious car key trick saves you from the heat in summer!
You briefly press the unlock button, the doors click open, and then you step into the oppressive heat, right? That's the mistake! Your electronic car key can do much more than just lock and unlock. It holds a comfort secret that can literally save your head on hot days.
The Super Simple Trick for Instant Cooling
Simply hold the open button on your electronic car key for several seconds. In most modern vehicles, something magical happens: all windows automatically roll down. Some models even open the sunroof as well. The blazing hot, stagnant air can escape immediately – and that, before you even have to set foot in the "oven." Imagine coming to the car and the heat has already dissipated!
Which Vehicles Master This Magic?
There is no complete list of all cars that have this function, as it strongly depends on the manufacturer, model, and year of manufacture. But many common brands offer this comfort hack.
At Ford, the function is even explicitly advertised: three seconds of the unlock button and all windows and the sunroof open. Volkswagen aptly calls it "comfort opening." Hyundai and Kia also have this option, although often only the driver's window opens first. The exact functionality – whether all windows simultaneously, only individual ones, or also the sunroof – can vary.
Important Tips for Trying It Out
Before you stand sweating in front of your car in the height of summer, it's worth trying the trick once. Many user manuals mention this useful function only in passing or not at all. With some manufacturers, you may even have to activate this option in the vehicle menu first. The basic requirements for this are electric windows in all doors and central locking with a remote key.
In general, most modern cars have this or a similar function. A quick test costs you nothing and can provide you with quick and refreshing cooling in the summer. No more heat buildup in the car – your car key is the key to a cool head!
