Our motorhome has a removable organic device very useful for endless motorway traffic jams. If you shout loudly and prod it hard it goes into the rear of the van and makes a cup of tea and a sandwich.

I had a warning light come on in our Toyota Yaris and had no idea what it was for.
I checked the manual and discovered it was a tyre pressure warning light. I checked all the tyre pressures and was surprised to find one was quite under inflated.
Having pumped the tyre up the warning light was still glowing at me and there was nothing in the manual to show me what to do. It suddenly dawned on me that I was likely to get ripped off by the Toyota dealer who would no doubt tell me that a computer reset was due.
I got on to YouTube and found this together with a reset button down in the footwell that I didn't know existed.

My M4 has these lights, seemed really impressive on wider open rolling roads with its matrix LED lights illuminating so much more of the road than I was used to.
The auto dip was an initial shock with a car coming the other way as dipped earlier than necessary & plunged to relative and unexpected darkness pre corner.
Nothing prepared me for when I was pushing on a little in the dark, no lights coming the other way, to be plunged into said darkness from the chevron markers...that was fun, honest! If I am pushing on, I now turn the system off as can see it is only going to cause issue!
As for auto parking, had it on the last 3 cars & love pristine alloys too much to even turn it on and try it out.
Used park assist on a Touran we had when we lived in London. Worked perfectly - if you like to park your car a foot from the kerb! That wasn’t an option where we lived at the time - you had to park snug to the kerb or you’d lose a wing mirror. Never used it again - which I suspect is what 99% of people do!

My Volvo automatically restarts if I accidentally stall it. I presume only works if clutch is depressed.
I recently found out that my Q5 has Launch Control. The only thing is there's about two pages of instruction to select it. I think I'll pass.
Just found that my cruise control is the 'radar' type, which brakes/accelerates to suit the car in front.
What a revelation for driving through the A14/M6 roadworks!!
It is a bit weird at first, but after a short while I now LOVE it!
I think the issue with all of the driving aids is that they are probably coded by a spotty teenager locked in a dark room somewhere who’s only experience of cars is when Uber Eats delivers the pizza.

That’s familiar - when the wife and I went to test drive her current Golf I ended up teaching the spotty irk some stuff about the features.
Him - “So this engine has the cylinder deactivation technology so it will run on 2 cylinders instead of 4 to save fuel”
Me - “Yeah, and it changes between which two it deactivates in order to distribute wear”
Him - “Oh really? Yeah that makes sense...”

CR-V: hazard lights come on automatically when breaking f.....g hard. Panic-stop type of breaking. I'd never noticed that before. I had that yesterday when an Audi (what else...) tried to overtake a Citroen thróugh the rear lenses going forward instead of going around the outside on the other lane. I felt like Hamilton watching parts and pieces coming towards me!
The CR-V's brakes are up to it, my heart not so. 200+ bpm I guess.
I think the hazard lights when breaking have been a standard on every car for ten years. Certainly my 2006 Audi did it already, and every car I had since. Might be a EU thing.
Someone who lies about the little things will lie about the big things too.
My GTD switches on different/additional lights when it goes round a corner.
I suspect it also takes over breaking when it thinks im going to hit the car in front. I noticed that it threw up a squawk and a red grid when i came to a quick stop on the north circular the other day and i *think* there was some additional movement to the break pedal which i wasnt doing.
I am also led to believe that it can parallel park itself but ive never tried this feature because im quite adept at it and dont quite trust the whole taking your hands off the wheel thing.
My A6 Allroad has cornering lights and it's something I've come to rely on and should be standard!
The self parking feature is good you should try it out. When I put my back out a few years ago it came in handy as it saves me twisting round to parallel park... but did take some getting used to (as in trusting the blighter to do it right).

My Honda Civic Type S has a refrigerated glove box! Didn't know that, must work off the A/C.
