New Discovery in Glove Box

Tom6850 · 07-02-2007, 03:15 PM

We are still discovering new things about our Prius. Today my wife and I were taking our dog Willie to the vet and my wife wanted to look up something in the owners manual. ( Yes we do look at it) As she was returning it to the glove box she discovered a drop slot or well in the front on the glove box that holds the owners manual. It holds the owners manual vertical and frees up the glove box for other items. I hope we were not the only owners to miss it.

Yes I missed it also.... I had to go look...Thanks !!!

My dealer forgot to fill up the tank, hadn't installed the floormats (or the clips for them) and has yet to call to tell me my permanent plates are in...
But! The owners manual kit was resting properly in that designated "well" area, when I first opened the glove box

Clever design idea, since I was always digging through the normal accumulated junk, which piled on top of the manual below, back in my Honda glovebox!

I'm sure I've missed this. Anyone have a picture, just in case I'm too dense to find it on my own?

I would think getting on PriusChat would be what you do after a workout...but Noooooooo! After 10 trips up and down the stairs to look inside the '07 to see all the stuff mentioned here, I had to find this one too.

Did you find the Ejector Button for the front Passenger that tries to tell you how to drive or messes with the MDF??

I am going outside right now to see that glove box area!

This car has an amazing number of (hidden and not-so-hidden) slots, compartments, wells, drawers, holders, cubbyholes, and so on. I did know about the drop well in the glovebox - I keep a spare set of glasses there. Mine's actually located in what I would consider the back of the glovebox (fartherest away from the passenger seat). Does anyone have a different configuration?

Open the bottom glove box. There's a slot in the back that's just thick enough for the manual and a bit more. Very convenient.

The two areas I discovered while reading the manual were the sliding compartment underneath the cup holders and the compartment underneath the rug on the left side of the hatch. I still dont know what I could hide in that one.

Thanks for the tip, it's useful having a place for the manual. There were a few Easter Eggs that the dealer did not show me when I picked up the car. I was also delighted to find the secret compartment under the arm rest. Can't wait till the next surprise.
