• protect the interior of the ashtray from dirt and minor mechanical damage,
• prevent small items placed in this storage compartment from sliding,

• preservation of the original styling line of the center console.

This makes installation predictable, and the overall appearance after installation is consistent with other interior elements.

Material and Usage Characteristics

The rubber construction of the ashtray insert provides beneficial usage properties for daily operation. The material, with its appropriate flexibility and surface structure:

• dampens minor vibrations and noise generated when placing items,
• reduces the sliding of contents inside the ashtray,
• allows for quick cleaning – dirt does not penetrate deeply into the structure.

These features translate into a more organized cabin space and more convenient use of the console storage.
