Am I missing something (in the hatch?). Pic.

Here is the correct answer appearing in another thread:
This has been discussed before. The empty slots are for pliers and a screwdriver equipped in other regions (similar to how the US doesn't have a functional fog light). Nothing to worry about, you've got the same thing as the rest of us.

Thanks for asking this question. It gave me a good reason to find out about this.

I don't even want to look at the spare tire section after what I found when I removed the front license plale bracket.
