tains either a compartment or the cover for the

Opening

The cover slides along guide rails and can be
opened fully by pushing it back and lifting it.

Closing

Push the cover forward.

Storage compartments

Do not put any unsecured objects into the
interior of the vehicle; otherwise these

may endanger the occupants, e.g., during brak-
ing and evasive maneuvers.

Do not use the instrument panel as a shelf,
for example with non-slip mats; other-

wise, it could be damaged.

In the vehicle interior

Depending on your vehicle's equipment, you
will find storage compartments in the doors,
next to the rear seats and in the center console.
Nets are located in the passenger footwell and
on the backs of the front seat backrests.

To prevent injury in the event of an acci-
dent, close the storage compartment after

use while the vehicle is being driven.

Clothes hooks

There are clothes hooks on the grab handles in
the rear passenger compartment.

Items of clothing hung from the hooks
must not obstruct the driver's view. Do not

hang heavy objects from the hooks; otherwise,
they could endanger the car's occupants, e.g. in
case of heavy braking or sudden swerving.

Depending on your vehicle's equipment, you
have the following storage options:
