How does the armrest of the Skoda Octavia MK2 work?

Model: Skoda Octavia MK 2, 1Z - Years 2004-2012
Part: Body

In this video we see how the armrest works on the Skoda Octavia MK2. It lifts and lowers with a simple movement and has 4 preset positions, which are reached by lifting and lowering it until you hear a click in the desired position: it is ideal for drivers of different heights or to find comfort while driving. Under the top cover there is a second cover: opening it, the air conditioning enters the armrest compartment. It is used to keep drinks cool, store snacks or chocolate without melting, or keep a sandwich cool to eat later. It is not a refrigerator; it only uses the cold air from the air conditioning system. Inside the compartment we find an AUX socket to listen to music through the audio system.
