‘Push & twist’ unlocks free item hidden in thousands of cars and most drivers don’t know it’s there  

A WOMAN on TikTok has revealed a free item hidden in thousands of cars that most drivers don’t even know is there.

In the video she demonstrates how to find the special feature which drivers just need to “push and twist” to be able to use.

The special item is a perfume dispenser which comes in different scents like vanilla and mango and makes the interior of the motor smell incredible.

The cars that boast this feature are CITROEN DS3’S and there are currently about 72,000 on UK roads.

Other flashy features these cars have include a built in ice scraper and dual-purpose monitors.

This is not the only time a hidden button has made the news recently.

Last year we told of a little-known hidden button that can help your car stay on the road in tricky conditions.

Jason from SamkoWorkShop, who specialises in off-roading, took to his YouTube channel to share a handy hack for when your tyres are struggling to grip.

While it may seem counterintuitive, he actually recommended turning off your motor’s traction control system when you’re in a slippery spot, at least partially.

Using his Toyota Tacoma truck he showed viewers how to do this and explained how it can actually help gain more grip in certain scenarios.

Driving through a patch of sandy dirt track, Jason said: “This is soft sand, we’re digging in…it’s fighting me.

“We are stuck, can’t go any further.

“Let’s hit this button…look at that, even where we were stuck it’s blowing us right out of here now like nothing.”

He explained that the button in question disables a couple of important systems which are necessary in everyday driving but can actually hinder you when bogged down in mud, sand or snow.

By pressing it, he greatly reduces the traction control, disables the vehicle stability control and activates something called a limited-slip differential.

The differential is the system on a car that allows the wheels to rotate at different speeds, which is necessary when taking sharp corners.
