What are thess handles for?

[MATHEW]

Hi all
I was just looking around my Tuscan the other day and noticed two red T shaped handles under the dash tight to the outerside of the footwell.
I have no idea what they are for and am looking for some info.

hi, these are the either door handle release, or boot release catches.

sorry, i can't remember which, its in the hand book but unfortunately mine is in my boot, and the car is in for service.

if no one else confirms for definate, will reply as soon as the beastie comes back.

hope it helps a little

They're emergency door release handles, just in case you have a some dodgy electrics (surely not in a Tuscan!!) and get stuck in the car.

Must admit I didn't know there was a boot release cable, maybe there is on later models.

I would not recommend using the red door release pulls when the windows are shut - they don't drop 6" for nothing ya know. I suspect the glass will break/pop out and you'll damage the paint.

As said above - they are for emergencies.
