Found two metal things under the front seats of our SIMBA. What are these? Footrests?

Thanks

Looks like air vents to me.

+1, one of which is obscured by the mat!

These can be pressed by feet and return to the position on the photo on releasing.

Definitely the rear air vents for heating. Fig. 89 p. 87 in the English pdf manual.

Metal you say ?! Mine are plastic ! Hope they're strong and elastic enough not to get damaged by rear passenger's feet.

Keep the mats under these vents.

 

edit: I can see they're labeled as no 7 in the picture but no mention of them in the text.

Simple answer to avoid damage is never carry passengers in the rear !

Walk, don't have a car. that'd be still better. Good for health and the planet.
