    I've noticed some carpet cuts behind the front seats. They are in a square shape with three cuts, not more than a 1.5 inch on each side. I hear this is to provide ventilation for the battery.

    Has anyone else noticed this and if so, what is it for?

    You mean under the front seats?

    They are the cutouts for the NAV and the JBL Amplifier. If you don't have either, you still have the cutouts because one carpet pattern fits all.

    Yes, I mean under the front seats. Thanks for clarifying this.

    Thanks for asking, I wondered what they were for, too.

    The battery ventilation is on the rear right passenger seatback. Don't know why someone said it was on the carpet ...
