Explanation: A number of Renault models (and possibly others) in recent years have featured underfloor storage bins. Daft idea if you ask me, for that has to be where all the muck will go.
I was looking at an English magazine recently which criticized the fact that the covers for these bins tended to come loose and slide around the floor under cornering and braking, so they appear to be "loose fitting" (clip on, etc.) rather than hinged or otherwise securely fixed.
The middle back seat folds forward into a table so the kids can play games on long journeys,it has UNDER FLOOR STORAGE w[h]ere games and food can be stored it has bottle holders at the back of the rear seats so no more spilt drinks http://www.dooyoo.co.uk/cars/renault-scenic-1-4-16v/
This at least is my first thought. Trappes could also refer to storage bins in the side of the boot/trunk.

Googling your term, however, I rather think there should be a comma there, thus coffres, trappes escamotables. Trappes can be those flaps in the back seat where your skis can go, or the cover to the spare wheel well in the boot/trunk, etc.
So coffres = "bins" (or maybe it simply refers to the boot/trunk), trappes escamotables = removable lids/covers/flaps ???

The updates to the menu were made to make the site easy and more intuitive for visitors. Obviously, like any change, this may take a few days to get used to.
The dropdown menus have been divided into two-dimensional panels with similar items grouped together under headings. This eliminates scrolling for those with smaller screens, and also improves readability.
Mouseover your name at the top of the screen. Here you will find information about your account, your email settings, and more. The "My ProZ.com" menu was moved up here to simplify the main navigation, and to keep all of this type of information together.
