The drawer in front of the car's passenger seat is called a storage box, also known as a glove box. The car glove box is used to store gloves or other miscellaneous items and is generally located in the middle-lower part of the dashboard on the passenger side. The glove box door usually consists of an outer panel and an inner panel, which can be connected by methods such as infrared welding, vibration friction welding, hot plate welding, ultrasonic welding, or screws. Multiple crisscrossing reinforcing ribs are often added to the inner panel of the glove box door to enhance its strength. For glove box doors that need to provide knee protection for occupants, they must meet certain stiffness requirements. Therefore, some vehicle models embed metal plates or foam cushioning blocks between the inner and outer panels to further absorb impact energy during collisions, in order to meet occupant safety requirements. There are two types of glove box structures: fixed and flip-down. The fixed type refers to the interior of the frame serving as the inner compartment of the glove box, with the storage space located within the dashboard itself. The flip-down type, on the other hand, means the inner compartment is integrated with the inner panel of the door, with the storage space on the door, making it more convenient to access items inside the compartment.

As a regular driver, I often find the drawer in front of the passenger seat very practical, commonly known as the glove compartment. It offers quite a lot of space, perfect for storing small items like loose change, receipts, and the vehicle manual. On long drives, I always pack some snacks and bottled water inside for easy access. A friendly reminder: avoid placing heavy or unstable objects as they might roll out due to bumps while driving, potentially affecting road safety. When cleaning, use a damp cloth to wipe the interior walls to maintain cleanliness and prolong its lifespan. Overall, it's a thoughtful touch in car design that makes daily driving more convenient, definitely worth utilizing well.

How to Solve the Fuel Consumption Problem of the Excelle?

The solutions to the high fuel consumption of the Excelle are as follows: 1. Clean the engine carbon deposits. Excessive carbon deposits in the engine are a major cause, primarily due to the use of unsuitable fuel. It is recommended to add a certain amount of cleaning agent when refueling. If the effect is not noticeable, it indicates a significant amount of carbon deposits in the engine. In this case, the car must be taken to a 4S shop for professional technicians to clean the carbon deposits inside the engine. After cleaning, it is advisable to drive the car at high speed for a while, which helps increase exhaust flow and allows stronger airflow to remove larger carbon particles. 2. Check the oxygen sensor. As an internal control unit of the car, the oxygen sensor mainly monitors the fuel-air ratio in the engine. Once it is damaged, it will cause an imbalance in the fuel-air ratio, leading to a sudden increase in fuel consumption. When the oxygen sensor is damaged, the exhaust pipe will emit darker-colored exhaust gas during driving, and the oxygen sensor should be replaced at this time. 3. Regularly replace the three filters. During the use of the vehicle, the oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter must be replaced regularly. If they are not replaced for a long time, they will become dirty and send incorrect information to the engine control unit, resulting in incomplete fuel combustion and increased carbon deposits in the engine. 4. Check the electronic control unit. Although the engine's electronic control unit is highly reliable, in vehicles with longer service life, various faults are inevitable. For example, problems with the engine control unit will directly lead to difficulties in starting, increased fuel consumption, poor power performance, and thick black exhaust gas.
