I believe they are anchor points for child seats. Could be wrong, but I seem to remember seeing something about them in my friend's cars owners manual.

I use them for beer tie downs.

I keep a color matched bungie between them and when I buy beer I strap them down so the beer doesn't slide around. Plus it's motivation looking in the rear view to drive home faster so I can drink it. lol

They are tie downs Javi. Only thing I ever used them for was to mount the camcorder via mini tri pod and a ratchet strap. Really works well for a temporary camera mount.
