Parents are only just realising their cars have a hidden feature which prevents accidents on the road with kids

PARENTS are only just realising their cars have a hidden feature which helps prevent kids getting their fingers trapped in windows.

A driver took to TikTok to share the automatic window tool which could help prevent any accidents on the road.

David González explained how windows have a built-in feature which automatically stops them rolling up if the car detects an obstruction in the way.

He said: “On most new cars, if you put your window all the way down. And if someone puts it up – it just goes back down [if it detects an obstruction].”

To reveal the nifty feature, David puts his own arm in the window and presses the button to role it up.

Once the car detects a hand in the way, the window automatically roles down again.

He ends his video by saying: “Safety first!”

Viewers took to the comments to share their amazement at the hack.

One wrote: “You guys are saying all cars have this but where was this in my family car in 2005 when my dad pulled the window on my hand.”

Another said: “This is a safety feature.”

Others were quick to reveal their cars had the feature too, by chiming in “works the same with the sunroof in my car” and “my car does that”.

It comes after another TikToker explained a hidden feature on some cars that make them perfect for summer.

Meanwhile, a driver was left furious as selfish motorists snapped up parent-and-child spots at the local supermarket.
