An automotive expert has taken to social media to show viewers a useful key fob trick that can keep motorists safe, particularly when travelling at night or when alone.<\/p>\n

The TikTok user @carknowledge_ regularly posts to the popular social media platform to teach viewers how to improve their driving skills and highlight hidden features found in many modern cars.<\/p>\n

In one of his videos, @carknowledge_ showed viewers how they can set a security feature on their vehicle\u2019s key fob, in which pressing it once only opens the driver\u2019s door.<\/p>\n

He explained: \u201cPress and hold the lock button and unlock button at the same time for five seconds, only open the left [drivers\u2019 side] door and the setting is complete.<\/p>\n

\u201cLater we press the unlock button. Only the left front door can be opened, other doors cannot be opened.\u201d<\/p>\n

When this feature is set up, pressing the unlock button on the vehicle\u2019s key fob will only unlock the driver\u2019s door, unable to open other doors or the boot.<\/p>\n

However, by pressing the unlock button once again, the rest of the doors will unlock, allowing more people to get in.<\/p>\n

Whilst the method shown in @carknowledge_ works on many cars, drivers are advised to check their vehicles handbook to find a detailed description of how this feature can be activated on their model.<\/p>\n

In the video @carknowledge_ highlighted that motorists may want to activate this feature to prevent thieves from secretly getting into the car.<\/p>\n

Whilst some thieves could use the brief time that the car doors are unlocked to steal something from inside the car, others may get into the vehicle to harm the driver.<\/p>\n

As a result, the simple trick is particularly useful for motorists who typically travel alone or at night and use public car parks.<\/p>\n
