A MOTORS whizz has revealed a hidden button in most cars that can help drivers who are locked out of their vehicle.
The button is located inside the door handle and can open the door if the car keys stop working.

The woman took to TikTok to share the helpful trick and it has caused a stir online with more than 500 likes.
She shares some other tips before she makes the shocking revelation.
Then she says: “The car key is out of power and the door cannot be opened, pop out the mechanical key, aim at the small hole under the door handle, pry open and find the lock.
“Put the key in and turn it, the car door opened.”
Other tips the woman shares include how to adjust mirrors so they are at their most effective and how to reverse more safely.
To be able to see as much as possible in the mirror she says: “Adjust the left door handle to the lower right corner of the rear view mirror, move the right door handle to the lower left corner of the right rear view mirror.
“At this time the view of the rearview mirror is best.”
And her top tip on reversing is to stare at the middle of the front door handle.
When it coincides with the steps on the road behind it means the rear of the car is exactly 30 centimetres away from the steps.
Recently another hidden button also made headlines.
A Ford salesperson revealed how drivers can quickly open their trunk, even if their hands are full.
In a YouTube video, the salesperson explained how Mustang drivers can find a button hidden on the back side of the car.
“A lot of people don’t know that you can actually open the trunk with a button,” the salesperson, Jorge Lopez (@Askjorgelopez), claimed in a video.
“Because its not visible at all, you really can’t see it.”
The button is located directly above the rearward license plate.
The black button is flanked by two lights meant to illuminate the license plate while the headlights are engaged.
With the press of the button, drivers can open the latch of the Mustang.
The car’s key fob must be close to the vehicle in order for the trunk to open.
Drivers may also use the button if the car is already unlocked.
The video is part of a series of explainer car maintenance videos Lopez has posted about several Ford models on the lot.
