Forgotten Gem

Now that summer has finally arrived, the air con in the car has been a real boon.

 

The best bit though is I'd forgotten that you can set it to chill the glovebox, into which you can just nicely fit a 500ml bottle of pop.

Now that is clever design and a really welcome idea.

to chill the glove box, do you have to set something, or does it just 'do-it'

From memory you just have to rotate the outer ring to open the vent on the outlet in the glovebox.

Smokescreen is right.

 

Open the lower glovebox. On the "roof" of the lower glovebox is a ring shaped vent - you won't be able to see it unless you lie down, but just feel inside and rotate it until you feel the airflow. Obviously it only chills if you have the aircon on...

 

Although the Desire (my model) has aircon as standard this feature isn't shown in the manual - in fact I'm fairly sure it is listed as only being on SX models and above, but it is most definately there.

mine has just got a 1.5" dia hole, where I would expect a vent to be! no cold comes out of it.
