Drivers are only just finding 'genius' hidden function in car boots

No matter how long we've driven our cars, we never quite know them inside out.

From random warning symbols that spring up on our dashboards to buttons we've never tried pressing, it can be information overload.

With that being said, it's no surprise that many are only just finding out about a hidden function that many vehicles have. TikTok user @master_driver666 shed light on this revelation.

The motoring guru, who has garnered an impressive 730,200 followers online, shared the secret to effortlessly opening your boot. She said: "Do you know the hidden functions of the car trunk?"

She asks viewers to "come and see", before demonstrating: "If your trunk opens like this, wrong so wrong! To put your suitcase in, you need to lift the trunk with your hands, only then can you put things in. What a hassle!"

The TikToker then shows how to set up your boot so it can spring open more easily. She advised: "Peel off this interior fabric, do you see it? This has a spring, the spring corresponds to three small holes. There is a first gear, second gear and third gear.

"Now this spring is mounted on the first gear, let's adjust it to third gear. Hold the spring in your hand, just pull it gently like this, pull it to third gear."

Once that's done, refit the fabric and do the same on the other side. Wrapping up, she says: "Okay adjustment completed, now let's see the effect, it bounced on its own."

The clip went viral on TikTok – where scores of commenters were mind blown by the information. One responder said: "Love you girl! Learned so much from you!" Another wrote: "Girl you rock!" And a third user responded: "Thanks for the tip, I definitely learned so much."

Some users mentioned their car doesn't have this adjustment feature, while others stated it happens automatically for them. So will you be giving it a go? Let us know in the comments below.
