What kind of things do you mean? There's nothing "hidden" that I can think of...

When you're car is off / locked (like you're walking up to it in the parking lot), click the unlock button on the fob once, then again and hold it down.

sun visor extends out to give more coverage of driver window or passenger window.

When wipers are on and you let off the brake, they will swipe even if they just swiped previously. Car thinks you are leaving a red light and need a clean windshield.

If you have tech or advanced package, almost impossible to lock key fob in the trunk.

Here's the ones I know about:
- Clicking the unlock button once and then holding it will cause all the windows (and the sunroof) to roll down
- You can turn the backup camera on while driving by holding down map, menu, and cancel on the center console and then going to diagnostics and monitor check before selecting rear camera
- You can set a side mirror to angle down when reversing by moving the slider to select it as you would do if you were going to adjust the position of it
- Using the car key in the door you can quickly unlock the car twice and hold it on the second unlock to roll down on the windows and you can do the same thing with lock to roll the windows back up
- Leaving the center navigation screen on the warning message for awhile will cause it to beep and display a wallpaper that you can choose in settings or upload with a usb!

Also you can actually disable the SH-AWD system and make your car fwd by pulling out the correct fuse from underneath the dash.

I seen someone else mention the sun-visors extend out but for some reason mine don’t
I tried plenty of times thinking it was hard to pull out
I have a 2014 TL FWD maybe because mine is a base model it doesn’t come with it 🤷‍♂️

I think that if there is no oil leakage, then everything is fine, because it is very expensive to fix, especially if there is a bingo and you have leaks from the oil pump gasket and the gasket on the rear main seal housing, like I have on the 2012 TL ADVANCE SH-AWD on 175k milles.

I know no one's ready for this amazing hidden feature but here it is. The back seat headrests flip up at the push of a button. The comfort afforded by this is amazing. But they get in the way of rear visibility when up so that's probably why they can flip up and down and everyone keeps them down. Owned the car for years before I stumbled upon the button while cleaning the back seats.
