A MOTORS expert has revealed a hidden button that can help you park with ease.<\/p>\n

Tim Alcock explained how you can use your key fob to help your car fit into tight spaces.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tim, a spokesperson for LeaseCar UK praised the trick as a "practical" method for parking in crowded bays.<\/p>\n

He told The Express: "Some modern cars allow the driver to fold wing mirrors in, from standing outside their vehicle.<\/p>\n

"This little-known hack is activated by holding down the lock button on the key fob for several seconds until the wing mirrors fold in.<\/p>\n

"Although the motion may differ on various car models, this feature is especially practical when parking on a busy road or in a tight space."<\/p>\n

You can check if your particular motor has the useful function by taking a look in your owner's manual.<\/p>\n

However, many cars only have their wing mirrors fold in automatically when you lock them with the engine off.<\/p>\n

While useful in preventing damage, this does not necessarily help drivers fit into tight spaces in the first place.<\/p>\n

Drivers should also be aware that the position of your wing mirrors can let thieves know that your car is unlocked.<\/p>\n

The wing mirror tip has taken social media by storm and has been shared widely over YouTube and TikTok.<\/p>\n

Commenters were amazed by the simple trick.<\/p>\n

One wrote: "Had my car for over a year and just found this out."<\/p>\n

Another added: "I nearly bought a 3rd party plugin device to make them close automatically when I locked the car but now I know I can do it from the key there's no need."<\/p>\n

It comes after a beloved car dealership closed its showroom to move to an even bigger new location.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, residents living near the UK's "most dangerous crossing" explained how they took matters into their own hands to prevent accidents.<\/p>\n
