The development of technology in modern cars has made many models come with advanced functions that increase the comfort and safety of the driver and passengers.

But even though these functions are useful, many people don't know that they exist or have never used them. Today, Motorist will take you to see 5 functions in cars that most people often overlook.

1. Cruise Control

Cruise Control allows drivers to set a constant speed while driving on highways or long slopes to reduce fatigue from continuous accelerator pedaling, especially on long journeys. Although it is a function available in many car models, many drivers are still unfamiliar with or unsure of using this function.

2. Electronic Parking Brake

The electric parking brake is a change from a lever-type handbrake to an electric system that can be easily turned on and off with the press of a button. In addition to its convenience, this system also helps reduce errors, such as forgetting to release the handbrake when starting off. However, many people are still unaware of the benefits of this function or are still stuck with using the old handbrake.

3. Blind Spot Monitoring

This function helps detect cars in the blind spot by giving a warning light or sound if there is a car in the spot that the driver cannot see. Although this function greatly increases safety, some drivers turn off this system simply because they find it annoying.

4. Eco Mode

Eco mode adjusts the engine, transmission, and air conditioner to use energy most efficiently, which is a great way to save fuel. However, many people overlook it because they do not know that this function can help reduce costs.

5. Auto Start-Stop

This function helps reduce fuel consumption and exhaust emissions while the car is stopped, such as when waiting at a red light. The system will temporarily turn off the engine and restart it as soon as the accelerator pedal is pressed. However, some people may find this system difficult or unfamiliar, so they choose to turn off this system.

These functions not only increase convenience and safety, but also save energy and reduce the impact on the environment. If you try to learn and use them correctly, these seemingly complicated functions can definitely become an important helper in your driving.
