Glove box door

There are three holders on the inside of the glove box door. One for a pen and one apparently for coins. What is the third one for? Not quite big enough for a business card.

There's a compartment for coins in there? I should really look in the glove box every now and then....

I wasn't aware to that either K-A. Could this only be in the luxury model?

NOt a compartment and may not be for coins. It's on left side of door. Set of plastic groove like thing about one inch square. The other thing is on right side of door and you have to look close. Sort of a depression with four little brackets on side.

it's also where you retrieve your fresh cup of coffee when your car deems you too tired to drive. When you see the icon, your cup is ready in the glove box.

Interesting. Some of this, like the holders in the glovebox door, are not in the Operator's Manual. Not sure I would want to keep a credit card in there. Didn't know about this video either.
Thanks Konigstiger!

Thanks. Besides the glove box info, I never knew the visor extends when horizontally when next to the drivers window. Now I am on a mission to find a skinny flashlight that would fit in the two pen holders identified!

One caution. The HVAC vent in the glove box should be closed in the winter if you have a phone or other device hooked up in the box. Could potentially make it too hot in there.
