I was cleaning the cup holder area in the center consol and when
I was wiping it the cup holder moved forward to expose a compartment underneath it! I felt so dumb 3000 miles and I just realized it was there! thanks for looking.

Don't feel bad - I didn't realize the cup holder area had a "lid"/cover
for about 500 miles. Doh!

Like someone said before, this car is like a video game. Hidden compartments, special features that are unlocked using ancient defrost button holding techniques, etc...

I believe he is talking about the dinner switch for the gauges... its by the trip/ reset button, it twists to adjust brightness.

I like the "REAL" hidden compartments...

On the seat backs, running along either side, are zippers. Follow these down and you see the zipper pulls stuffed into the seam.

Unzip these to find the little "smuggler's compartments" inside of the seats!

I would've never found the gas cap hanger if my wife didn't show me.. I don't know how she knew. One thing that I didn't notice for about 1000 miles was the little sunglass holder on the left side of the wheel under the cupholder. I was looking for somewhere to put my sunglasses and voila!

I didn't know about the dimmer switch either. I guess I should pay more attention, I just wanted to drive.

change doesnt go anywhere if you put it in there. all it is is 3 little holes in your dash that come out the other side. there is a black piece of foam in the way. but if you take that foam out and put change in there your money would fall to the floor =o)


i think!?

If I'm racing or driving hard.. all my stuff in the "change holder" flies all over the place when I shift. :angel: So now its my garage button holder since its heavy enough to stay in there. :D
