Ventilated storage compartment

Depending on vehicle model and configu-
ration, your vehicle is equipped with a stor-
age compartment under the front armrest
( page 234) which can be ventilated
when the automatic air conditioning is
switched on. If so equipped, the switch is
located inside the storage compartment in
the front. The air temperature is about the
same as that of the center air vents.
The air volume is dependent on the setting
of:
Air distribution control
Air volume control
Air vents in the dashboard
The air temperature is about the same as
that of the dashboard air vents. It cannot
be regulated separately.
