Around the pedal area there should not be any foot mats or other
additional floor covering materials:
•In the case of defects in the brake system, a greater pedal travel
may be necessary.
•It should always be possible to depressthe clutch and
accelerator pedals fully.
•All pedals must be able to return, unhindered, to their rest
positions.
For these reasons, the only foot mats which may be used are those
which leave the pedal area completely free and which are
prevented from slipping.

Stowing luggage
In the interests of good handling ensure that the load (persons and
luggage) is distributed evenly. Heavy items should always be
carried as near to the rear axle as possible or better still, between
the axles.
Stale air escapes through ventilation openings in the side trim* of
the luggage compartment. For this reason, it is best to keep these
openings uncovered.

Furthermore, vents
3and 4can be closed or opened individually
and the air flow can be oriented as necessary.
Closed vent: control in vertical position.
Open vent: control in horizontal position.
The air flow can be oriented as you wish by swiveling the vent with
