TikTok user @conggeshuoche starts by explaining how useful the position of the door handle on your car can be to help with adjusting your side mirrors.
He says on the video: “First, when adjusting the left rear view mirror, adjust the front door handle to the lower right corner of the rearview mirror.
“When adjusting the right side of the mirror, adjust the front door handle to the lower left corner of the rearview mirror.
“In this way, whether you are looking at the steps on the side of the road or the traffic coming from behind, the view is the best.”
When you are parallel parking on the passenger’s side, Cong suggests staring at your righthand side mirror and waiting until your front passenger-side door handle intersects with the curb.
He continues: “Then turn the steering wheel to the left, and the car enters the parking space smoothly.”
The car expert’s third suggestion is helpful in case you encounter a stationary car in front of you while attempting to park in a small space.
Cong explained: “Stare at the door handle, hit the brakes as soon as you can’t see it. At this point, the distance is exactly 10cm.”
“Fourth, stare at the car’s door handle next to you when you open the door and get out of the car.
“When the door handle and your door frame are on the same horizontal line, no matter how you open the door, you will not hit the car next to you.”
Next, the car expert goes on to talk about car keys – warning that because they’re typically electronic nowadays, you must be prepared if your key’s battery dies.
He continues: “Remove the mechanical key from the back of the key, pry the small cover off the door handle to open the door and start the car.”
The last tip focuses on reversing.
He says: “Sixth, stare at the middle of the front door handle when reversing
“This time, the rear of the car is just 30cm away from the steps. Do you see it?”
The video has gone viral on social media with millions of views and 2,570 comments.
Viewers were blown away after discovering these little-known functions of their car handles.
One said: “Thank you, brother Cong.”
Another said: “Love it.”
A third pointed out: “I like it nice that’s great.”
