VOLKSWAGEN CC 2010 Owners Manual

WARNING
Objects in the driver footwell can prevent the pedals from mov-
ing freely. This can cause loss of vehicle control and increase
the risk of serious personal injuries.
Always make sure that nothing can interfere with the pedals.
Always fasten floor mats securely to the floor.
Never put floor mats or other floor coverings on top of al-
ready installed floor mats.
Always make sure that nothing can fall into the driver
footwell while the vehicle is moving.
WARNING
Some kinds of cigarette lighters can be lit unintentionally, or
crushed causing a fire that can result in serious burns and ve-
hicle damage.
Always make sure that there are no lighters in the seat tracks
or near other moving parts before adjusting the seats.
Before closing a storage compartment, always make sure
that no cigarette lighter can be activated, crushed, or otherwise
damaged.
Never leave a cigarette lighter in a storage compartment, on
the instrument panel, or in other places in the vehicle. Heat
buildup in the passenger and luggage compartment of a parked
vehicle can result in temperatures in the vehicle that are much
higher than the outside temperatures, particularly in summer.
High temperatures could cause the cigarette lighter to catch
fire.
NOTICE
The defroster heating wires or antenna in the rear window can
be damaged by hard or sharp things on the shelf below the rear
window.
Do not keep any food, medicine, or other items sensitive to
heat or cold in the vehicle. They can be damaged or made unus-
able by heat or cold.

Things that are made of transparent materials (such as eye-
glasses, magnifying glasses, or transparent suction cups on the
windows) can magnify sunlight and damage the vehicle.
The ventilation slots between the rear window and the shelf be-
hind the rear seat backrest must not be blocked so that stale air can
escape from the vehicle.

Opening and closing the storage compartment for the Owner's
Manual or MDI (MEDIA-IN) jack
Depending on equipment, the storage compartment at the top of the
glove compartment is designed to hold either the Owner's Manual or
the MDI (MEDIA-IN) jack.
The Owner's Manual compartment or MDI (MEDIA-IN) jack is located
in a storage compartment at the top, which can be pulled down to
open ⇒ fig. 125 (3).
The strap (2) indicates the handle for opening the storage compart-
ment.
If the vehicle is not equipped with the MDI (MEDIA-IN) jack, always
keep the Owner's Manual in this storage compartment. To stow the
Owner's Manual, place it in the slot with the binding facing the inside
of the glove compartment door.
Holders
Depending on the model, there may be holders for a pen and a note-
pad in the glove compartment.
Cooling the glove compartment
There is an air vent (1) in the back of the glove compartment. Cool air
can be directed into the glove compartment if the air conditioner is on.
Open or close the air vent by turning it.

WARNING
An open glove compartment door can increase the risk of seri-
ous injury during sudden braking or driving maneuvers or in a
crash.
Always keep the glove compartment closed while the vehicle
is moving.
NOTICE
In some vehicle models, design considerations have made it
necessary to have openings in the glove compartment behind
the Owner's Manual slot, for example. Small items may fall
through these openings and get behind the instrument panel.
This can cause unusual noises and damage the vehicle. Never
put any small objects in the glove compartment for this reason.

ries when the vehicle is moving.

rest is folded down. An improper seating position can increase

ing. Never leave any heavy or sharp-edged items in the pockets
that may interfere with airbag deployment and can cause per-
sonal injury in a collision.
