The interior trim is made of plastic and is secured with screws or plastic clips.
Exhaust ventilation openings
When all windows are closed and the ventilation system is on, excess outside air entering the vehicle creates excess internal pressure. In order to reduce the pressure, air is released through two exhaust ventilation openings. The ventilation openings are located at the rear of the vehicle behind the bumper.
Console
The console is located above the tunnel of the car floor from the center of the dashboard to the rear seat. The front part of the console contains the cigarette lighter and the gearshift lever. The rear part of the console contains the parking brake lever, power window buttons (if they are included in the equipment kit) and a cup holder.
The airbag system diagnostic module is located under the front console.
Carpet
The molded one-piece floor carpet extends from the front to the rear floor panel.
Trunk shelf (hatchback)
A luggage rack is provided for hatchback models. The rack is installed in the luggage compartment, but if more space is required for the cargo being transported, it can be easily removed.
