where did you find this - web address?

Its a flare chap. Some coutries, obviously including Japan, required you to carry a safety flare in case of emergency, much like you have to carry a warning triangle in Europe, two in Spain and now you have to carry a flourecent jacket in France :P

is this some kind of integrated air freshner?

always thought that citroen c4 was the first car to have it and thought also that the 3 vents on the japanese dash were some kind of hands-free pre-instalation device

according to my limited knowledge of japanese language, they are temperature sensors for outside air and inside air, for the auto climate system

well those are where the sensors are for climate control

**Posted:** Mon Feb 02, 2009 5:38 pm

makes sense as much of them have auto climate sistem and auto a/c

**Posted:** Mon Feb 02, 2009 10:46 pm

that precious hole can hold either 8 x 500 yen coins = 31pounds or 10 x 100 yen coins = 78 pounds, not bad for such a small space!lol.
