Things you didnt know about your clio

The little hook that's in the fuel cap for holding your keys when you remove the cap. Such a lifesaver, love it.

Used that every time over the last 12 years - something simple yet really useful.

For me - the small flap at the back of the 182's glove-box. It's on a small clip to remove and makes the fitment of iPods and the like in there so much easier by feeding the cables through this opening. Out of sight, out of mind.

Isnt that the aircon feed to the 'cooled' glovebox?

Pic of the hook?? I remember being able to hook the actual fuel cap the fuel flap door? Rather than the keys.

Yeah, but he keys hang off the cap.

It does. Inside the cap there is a little flat hooked section that fits over the flap door hook.

The 197 has similar affair, but the silly tether is so rigid it never sits on the clip, it just falls off and dangles down the side of the car.

Tether is still crap on the 200t...

Turn your ignition key on and off twice before locking the car to disable the interior alarm sensors.
(great for summer when you want to leave windows down an inch or 2, as wind triggers the sensors.)

I use this feature all the time to leave the dog in the car.
I believe it has to be with the door open, ignition on-off twice, 3 beeps when you lock it confirms it's disabled.



Also, front fogs only work with the headlights switched on, not on auto. Took me a while to work that out, think I've only ever actually used them once.

Have you checked to see if they actually work?

Change the bulbs to some nice bright ones.

Yeah they definitely work. Just didn't really seem to do much last time I used them.

I never use them anyway and i live in the middle of fields.

Think i've only used them once on the m62 before.

Front fogs are for show, they do very little, positioned terribly on cars these days and are never used properly anyway.

The door doesn't need to be open to do this.

No idea tbh. It's just a plastic flap that unclips that allows easy access to that section behind the bulkhead.

I remember when I first want to go down the aux cable & iPod combo and thinking how best to run the cabling. When I saw this access hatch, the answer was so obvious.

197 drinks holder, drivers side there is a small indent above it on the bottom of the console which allows the driver to put a slightly taller drink in the holder, only for the driver though, unlucky passengers.
