Jeff Teague stands in a grassy lot in front of a pale green 2026 Nissan Pathfinder, holds up the key fob and asks a question most owners would probably answer with a no. “Did you know you can roll down the windows all at the same time?” The reviewer, who posts as @autojeffreviews, explains the move as he does it. “We’re just gonna hold down unlock and then watch.” A moment later every window on the SUV slides down together. “We can vent it on a hot day,” he says, then reacts to his own demonstration with a “Whoa!”

That is the first of eight items in a one minute video he captioned “8 Hidden Tricks” for the 2026 Pathfinder, and each one gets a number on screen as he goes. Text near the end identifies the vehicle as a “2026 Pathfinder Platinum.”

Tricks two and three both live on the big center screen. The second is labeled “Invisible view!” and Teague calls it “the invisible hood view.” The display shows the gravel and grass ahead of the SUV with the outline of the vehicle and its front wheels drawn over the ground. “So when you’re driving, you can see the direction that your tires are going and even underneath it,” he says. For the third, tagged “Multiple views” with the advice to “just know where to look,” he taps the screen to switch to a wide angle view and then to a split screen with an overhead graphic of the Pathfinder on one side. “So we can see different viewpoints just looking all the way around,” he says. “That is an amazing camera.”

The fourth and fifth tricks are a matched pair, and he shows where to find them first. “Under settings and vehicle settings,” he says, as the display behind the steering wheel shows a locking menu that lists Walk Away Lock and Approach Unlock. “Did you know you have a walk away lock function?” The label on screen gives it a nickname, the “Mic Drop.” He holds the fob up beside the driver’s door, walks off and reports the result. “We walk away and it’s locked.”

Then he turns around. “You can also do the reverse, the approach unlock. So as you get close to it, what’s gonna happen?” The answer comes as he reaches the door. “Unlock and the mirrors open.”

Number six comes with a disclaimer. “I’m not sure this is a hidden feature, but you gotta know it’s there,” he says, pointing to a control low on the steering column while the text on screen reads “Speed of power wheel.”

The seventh depends on how the SUV was ordered. “This one has the upgraded Captain Chair package, so you can remove that center console,” he says from the second row, where two separate seats sit on either side of an open floor. He presses a button on one of the seats to move it out of the way, narrating “boom or boom,” and the camera lands on the third row.

The eighth is at the back. “It’s the motion sensor back liftgate,” he says, and with the hatch up he shows the cargo area both ways. “Here’s our space with the seats up and with the seats down.” He signs off in front of the Pathfinder with a question for viewers. “Which of these hidden gadgets features did you like the best?”

Nearly everything in the video is a setting or a button press rather than hardware an owner has to add, so an owner can try the whole list in the driveway in a few minutes. The menu is the place to start. Teague names the path out loud, settings and then vehicle settings, and the screen he shows has separate lines for the walk away lock and the approach unlock. If walking away from the vehicle does nothing, that menu is the first thing to check before assuming something is broken.

A lock that works on its own is convenient, and it is also easy to stop paying attention to. Teague walks off and then confirms the result, and owners can build the same habit by glancing back before the vehicle is out of sight. The approach unlock deserves the same thought in reverse. Ask the dealer how close the fob has to be, and consider that before hanging the keys on a hook next to the garage.

Dropping every window from the fob is a fast way to let heat out of a parked car. The same feature means a button held down by accident in a pocket or a purse could leave the cabin open to rain or to anyone walking by. The video does not show the windows going back up, so that is a good question for the salesperson or the owner’s manual.

The camera views help most in the spots where a driver cannot see the front corners, like pulling up to a curb, a parking block or a rut on a trail. They work only as well as the lenses allow, so wipe off mud and road film when the picture goes hazy, and treat the screen as a second opinion. A walk around the vehicle still catches low objects, pets and small children that a camera angle can miss.

Shoppers should pay attention to two phrases in the video. Teague says this Pathfinder “has the upgraded Captain Chair package,” and the text on screen calls it a Platinum. Before counting on the removable console, the camera views or the motion sensor liftgate, ask which trims and packages include each one and have the salesperson demonstrate all eight at delivery. If the console does come out, store it at home or strap it down, because anything loose in the cabin keeps moving in a hard stop. Check the overhead clearance in a garage before letting a powered liftgate swing up on its own.
