On vehicles fitted with air conditioning, the storage compartment is equipped
with a lockable inlet for thermally treated (warmed-up) air.
When the air vent is opened, the air flows into the stowage compartment with a
temperature corresponding to the control dial settings on the A/C unit, depending
on the outer climate conditions.
The air inlet in the storage compartment is connected to position through ad-
justment of the control dial for air distribution. This setting causes the maximum
amount of air to flow into the storage compartment (depending on the rotary reg-
ulator position for the fan).
The storage compartment can, for example, be used to temper drinks cans, etc.
If you do not use the air inlet in the storage compartment, the inlet should al-
ways be kept closed. Note
Push the armrest cover all the way back to the stop before applying the hand-
brake. Ð
