177. Guantera
La guantera es un compartimento de almacenamiento integrado en el salpicadero delante del asiento del acompañante. Se utiliza habitualmente para guardar documentos del vehículo, el manual del propietario y otros objetos pequeños al alcance de la mano. Debe mantenerse cerrada durante la conducción para que no moleste a los pasajeros ni permita que objetos sueltos caigan al interior del vehículo. Conviene evitar guardar objetos de valor o elementos que puedan dañarse por las altas temperaturas que pueden alcanzarse dentro de un vehículo estacionado.
What is a glovebox?
A glovebox is a storage compartment in the dashboard, usually located in front of the passenger seat. It is also called a glove compartment.
Why is it called a glovebox?
The name comes from the early use of the compartment for storing driving gloves. Today it is commonly used for vehicle documents and other small items.
What can you keep in a glovebox?
A glovebox is commonly used for vehicle documents, the owner’s manual and small useful items. What should be kept in the vehicle depends on local legal requirements and personal preference.
Should the glovebox be closed while driving?
Yes. Keeping the glovebox properly closed while driving prevents it from obstructing the passenger area and helps stop loose objects from falling out.
Should valuables be kept in the glovebox?
It is generally better not to leave valuable or sensitive items in an unattended vehicle, as a glovebox does not provide strong protection against theft.
Can a glovebox become hot?
Yes. The interior of a parked vehicle can become very hot, and the glovebox can also heat up. Avoid storing heat-sensitive or potentially dangerous items there.
