In this video, discover a hidden compartment that in our cheerful YouTuber's vehicle is located in the passenger seat, only because it is a right-hand drive car. Normally, however, it will be under the driver's seat, and accessing it is quite simple: push down on the seat base while simultaneously lifting the protruding part of the seat upwards.

While pushing down, pull the seat base to the side, and you will be able to open this compartment, which you can use to store documents, small items, a tablet, or anything you do not want visible inside the vehicle.

It closes with the opposite motion. Very useful.
