TOYOTA drivers have been left baffled after an expert revealed a hidden button inside doors which stop the annoying beeping sounds when a car is parked.<\/p>\n
Toyota master diagnostic technician, AMD, revealed the staggering discovery to stunned followers in a video uploaded to YouTube.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Posting on The Car Care Nut account, the technician covered some of the annoying sounds that the modern Toyota and Lexus models make.<\/p>\n
This included a repetitive, high-pitched beeping that occurs when a Smart Key model is parked.<\/p>\n
Smart Key drivers will notice that as soon as they open their doors after parking, the beeping will begin.<\/p>\n
But AMD solved the issue for those who have been left tearing their hair out by revealing how it can be turned off.<\/p>\n
Located on the inside of the front passenger door is a small round button.<\/p>\n If you press this after the beeping begins, it will soon turn it off.<\/p>\n This can then allow the driver to sit inside their car when the engine is off and the doors are open without being driven insane.<\/p>\n Speaking in the video, AMD said: "To stop the beeping, you can just close the door and re-open it.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n "But if you don't want to do that, you can actually just reach down to the courtesy switch.<\/p>\n "This is what gets pushed to let the car know that the door has closed or opened.<\/p>\n "If you push it and let it go, the beeping will stop."<\/p>\n But it isn't the only thing that can happen if you press the button.<\/p>\n If the car is off at the same time, then pushing the courtesy switch will also lock the steering wheel.<\/p>\n AMD adds that, even though the beeping is annoying, it is just reminding you that your steering wheel is unlocked and your car is still not shut off completely.<\/p>\n "You have to take the key with you and close the door," he said.<\/p>\n "Then it will finish powering off and your steering wheel will lock.<\/p>\n "Now the car is ready to be locked and walked away from."<\/p>\n Elsewhere, experts have claimed that eight little-known driving offences could cost you up to \u00a35,000 if you're not careful in the rain.<\/p>\n The AA polled 12,000 drivers – almost all of whom admitted to breaking the rules.<\/p>\n Drivers have also been urged to check seven key parts of their motor before the temperature drops this winter.<\/p>\n Motors outfit Motorway compiled a list of nifty tips which could save you time and money as the harsher conditions set in.<\/p>\n<\/picture>EV MISERY <\/span><\/p>\n
