Glovebox

Post by vee »

Hi guys

Was looking in there this morning and noticed a switch of sorts in the glove box - upper right hand side - looks as if it can be turned?

Any idea what this is for?

yep, there are a few things it could be, the airbag switch was just the first that sprung to my mind...
Vee do you keep your laptop on the manual shelf rather than the instruction manual then? :lol:

If You mean a knob of sort, then You turn it one way to let cold air from the aircon flow to the glovebox (a finger size hole). Turn the other way to close.
