Armrest




An armrest (or '''arm-rest''') is a feature found in most modern Automobile s on which the occupants can rest their arms. Armrests are commonly placed between the front Car Seat s on the Driver and Passenger side of the vehicle. Sometimes one or two armrests may also be attached to each individual seat, a feature commonly found in Minivan s (MPVs) and some SUV s.

Many larger cars also have a broad arm-rest between the Back Seats , which may be folded out when the central (third) seating place is not required. In some designs where occupant safety is emphasised, including some Volvo models, the armrest doubles as a Child Seat , complete with specially adjustable Seatbelt .

Armrests in some vehicles may also feature further Accessories , such as Cup Holder s, Audio and Climate Control s as well as storage compartements.
