Using the glovebox
The glovebox is located on the passenger side. The printed owner's manual and maps can be kept in the glovebox, for example. There is also space for a pen and card holder.

The hook on the glovebox can be extended when the glovebox is open so that it can be used after the glovebox has been closed.
