In a TikTok video, Dongcheshijie (@dongcheshijie) showed her 2.1million followers how drivers can control the car alarm with their key fob.
To equip the feature, first "press and hold the lock and the unlock buttons simultaneously for three seconds," according to the driving guru.
"After three seconds, the function is set," she said.
"From now on, as long as we press and hold the lock button, the car horn will sound."
Although this may seem like a gimmick, it is actually incredibly practical.
Namely, the ability to instantly and manually trigger the alarm with your keys is a massive boon when you have to sift through a crowded parking lot to find your car, she said.
"When we can't find our car in the parking lot, just press the lock button. The car alarm will play at that time. Just follow the sound and we can easily find our car."
As useful as this feature can be on an everyday basis, it's even more helpful in a crisis.
"If the vehicle is subjected to abnormal vibrations or if a bad person tries to open the door, the car will automatically sound the alarm to scare off the bad person," she explained.
To demonstrate this feature, she repeatedly kicked the car and triggered the alarm.
Viewers seemed to appreciate the info.
"Thanks sister," wrote one fan.
"IN SISTER WE TRUST," wrote another.
Still, not everyone was so effusive.
"Ur flopping," commented one party pooper.
