Hacks & Secrets
Hidden features, easter eggs, and tricks you won't find in the manual — from real owners.
- Gulf-Specific
Pre-cool from the app at home
Open the car app 10 min before leaving. Cabin cools, battery pre-conditions for charging. Saves time, max comfort in 50° summers.
- Money Saver
Schedule charging at off-peak rates
In countries with time-of-use rates (UAE Slab 1), schedule 23:00-06:00 to save 20-40% on your electricity bill.
- Comfort
Camp Mode for sleeping or waiting
Park in P, enable Camp Mode from menu or voice command. AC stays on, screens dim. Uses only ~1 kWh/hour.
- Performance
Max regen for less brake wear
Set regen to highest (One-Pedal or High). Cuts brake wear 60%+ and adds 5-10% range in city traffic.
- Money Saver
Bump tire pressure +0.2 bar in summer
A small bump (~0.2 bar above recommended) reduces rolling resistance and adds 3-5% range. Also a heat-safety win.
- Easter Egg
The M9's headlights are secretly a 100-inch outdoor cinema
The M9's million-pixel matrix headlights project navigation arrows and a “light carpet” onto the road — park facing a wall and they double as a 100-inch outdoor projector for movies and karaoke. Perfect for desert camping nights.
- Comfort
One-tap Nap Mode folds the M9 into a flat bed
In Nap/Bed Mode the front seats fold flat and merge with the second row into a continuous sleeping surface with climate staying active — genuinely usable on long Gulf highway runs.
- Hidden Feature
The M9's 32-inch drop-down screen is also a privacy divider
The 3K projector screen descending from the rear ceiling has a second job — lowered without playback it acts as a privacy divider between driver and rear passengers (a chauffeur-car trick).
- Tip
A Huawei phone unlocks the HarmonyOS cockpit's best tricks
With a Huawei phone you get seamless multi-device handoff: mirror apps onto the car screen and continue nav/music phone-to-car. On China-spec imports maps stay China-locked — phone mirroring is the practical navigation workaround.
