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 andpresses the button to role it up.
Once the car detects a hand in the way, the window automatically roles down again.
