The glove compartment in a car is used to store various items that we want to have at hand while driving.
However, not everyone knows that the functions of the glove compartment do not end there.
One is especially useful in the summer. It significantly increases the comfort of travel and makes it easier to survive a long route. Once you try it, you will always do it.
When everyone had a map there, today the glove compartment in the car is more likely to contain a navigation device.
Many people keep documents, something to write with, a charger, a spare bulb or fuses in it. It’s very sensible, but it’s worth putting something else in the glove compartment. The idea may seem strange at first, but it really works.
Use your car’s glove compartment to keep your drinks cold
It turns out that the glove compartment of a car can act as a travel fridge. You’re probably wondering how it’s possible that a closed space near a hot engine can be colder than the cabin. Well, all you need to do is use a trick, and it’s not about putting frozen food in the glove compartment, although that’s also a good idea.
“Just unblock the air vents. After turning on the air conditioning, you need to turn the switch located inside the glove compartment – it usually has a snowflake icon on it. This allows cool air to flow into the glove compartment, and the space acts as a small refrigerator,” advises Auto Świat.
This patent is irreplaceable for longer journeys. It allows not only to cool drinks but also to store food, e.g. sandwiches, without the risk of them spoiling in the heat.
