In the comment selection, some users mistakenly believe that the catch in the grab handle secures it in place. However, it is actually used for unscrewing the handle. This highlights the importance of reading the vehicle’s manual to fully understand the functions of your car’s features.

One person said: I thought it was for holding onto for dear life when someone drives fast around bends or just general drives like they aren’t going to be alive tomorrow.

A second wrote: Not exactly sturdy when a toddler can pull it off

While a third commented: I guess you learn something new on tiktok!

Another added: I’m so disappointed! I ran outside to check if my car has it, and sadly, I don’t have a car. I’m waiting for Uber now, to see if that car will have it.

Someone else said: Why don’t these things come with instructions!!!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhhh my life!!!!
