Commonly misused features on cars
Below are car features that are often misused by drivers.
High beam and low beam
Many drivers use their high beams excessively when driving, even when they don’t need them, such as when driving in the city or on well-lit roads. This can be annoying and dangerous for oncoming traffic. Instead of using your high beams all the time, switch to your low beams when necessary, especially when there are oncoming vehicles.
Cruise Control
Cruise Control is often misused in unsuitable conditions, such as when driving in high traffic areas or on roads with poor weather conditions. It should be used when driving on highways or straight roads where traffic is light and there are few unexpected situations.
Eco Mode
Eco mode may not be suitable in all situations, especially when accelerating quickly or driving on steep terrain. Overuse of this mode may result in the vehicle not achieving optimal performance, affecting the vehicle's handling.
Electronic handbrake
Some drivers are unfamiliar with the electronic parking brake and may activate or deactivate it incorrectly. It is important that drivers understand how the electronic parking brake system works to ensure safety when stopping or parking.
Hill Start Assist System
This system makes it easy for drivers to start on a slope without worrying about the car rolling back. However, many people rely too much on this system and forget that hill driving skills also need to be honed. Flexible coordination between the brake and accelerator is still an important factor.
