vres or an accident.
Safety information on storage
compartments in the vehicle interior
CAUTION
Please ensure that hard objects do not chafe
against the wires of the heating element in
the rear window and cause damage.
Depending on your vehicle’s equipment, you will
find several storage compartments and retainers
that can be used to safely store items. These in-
clude, for example, the glove box.
Using the glove box
WARNING
– To avoid the risk of injuries, always keep all
storage compartments closed when driving.
– Loose objects can be flung around in the
passenger compartment in the event of sud-
den driving or braking manoeuvres – risk of
accident! Stow objects away safely while the
vehicle is moving.
– The storage compartments in the door trims
should only be used to store small objects.
Make sure that they are stored safely inside
the compartment, as otherwise they might
impair the protection offered by the side air-
bags.
