At the base of the center console, just below the climate control buttons, is the cup holder: a useful accessory that can hold up to two cups; the practicality of this holder lies in its retractable system: when not in use, it remains hidden, and you just need to press on it to make it pop out; this practical system is also delicate and tends to get damaged easily; replacing it is very simple, just unscrew the securing screw and pull it out of its slot like a drawer to replace it with a new one.
