If you are at a gas station and you are not sure which side of the car the fuel pump is, check the fuel pump icon located on your car’s dashboard. There will be an indicator that shows you which side the fuel pump is located. For example, in the picture above, the fuel pump is on the left hand side of the car.

Can’t find a stable spot for your phone to sit when you need it for navigation? Loop a rubber band through the AC vent and place each end of the rubber band on the top and bottom part of your phone. This is a great hack if you don’t have a phone holder in your car.

Use an old toothbrush with some toothpaste and brush the entire headlamp surface, wipe it off with a micro-fibre cloth and watch your dull and stained headlamps become shiny again. A bottle of coke works too!
