WARNING
Do not place anything on the dash panel. These objects might slide or fall
■
down when driving (when accelerating or cornering) and may distract you
from concentrating on the traffic - risk of accident!
When driving, ensure that no objects from the centre console or from other
■
storage compartments can get into the driver's footwell. You would then no
longer be able to apply the brakes, operate the clutch or accelerator – risk of
accident!

Pull the handle of the flap in the direction of the arrow
down the flap.

Lift the lid upwards until it clicks into place.
Cooling
›
Use the rotary switch » Fig. 65 –  to open/close the air supply.
Opening the air supply when the air conditioning system is switched on allows
cooled air to flow into the storage compartment.
Opening the air inlet when the air conditioning system is on causes fresh or inte-
rior air to flow into the storage compartment.
We recommend closing the air supply if it is operated in heating mode or the cool-
ing system for the storage compartment is not being used.
The storage compartment must always be closed when driving for safety rea-
sons.

When the stowage compartment is opened, a light lights up.
