Most people rarely refer to the user manual after purchasing new equipment, which means they might miss out on numerous interesting and valuable features of the device. The same applies to cars. Here's a hidden glove compartment feature that few are aware of.

Surprisingly, most drivers are unaware of its existence. In the meantime, the car's hidden glove compartment can prove to be extremely useful, especially on hot days. What exactly is it?

The hidden glove compartment feature can be very useful to you

We keep various small items in the glove compartment daily, such as cosmetics, documents, sunglasses, or car care products. However, this is not its only function; it can also serve as a refrigerator on hot days.

This function is activated by a valve that few people know about. When you turn on the air conditioning and flip the switch in the glove compartment, cool air will flow into it. This space can serve as a small refrigerator, for example, for storing drinks that, thanks to the low temperature, will provide refreshment during longer journeys.
