Does anyone know what this strap for? I've tried to find in the manual with no luck

I don't believe that is standard, our UK 2017 Ocean doesn't have it and other vans I have seen don't.

The parts catalogue only suggests 1 part number exists for this bit of trim, It could be a regional thing or importer fit. But more likely someone has modified it to use the space.

Has someone added a middle seat belt in the past the pushed it round the bench seat. Not standard belt.

Ours has a similar indentation but no strap UK MY17. Perhaps an alternate location for the spare wheel kit.
Does it look like a retro or a factory fit? Either way it could be useful for tying down wayward items like an extra coolbox if there’s enough spare webbing.
