On vehicles fitted with air conditioning, the storage compartment is
equipped with a lockable inlet for thermally treated (warmed-up) air.
At open air supply, air flows into the storage with a temperature which is
as high as the one out of the air outlet nozzles, depending on temperature
setting.
The air inlet in the storage compartment is connected to position
through adjustment of the control dial for air distribution. This position
causes the maximum amount of air to flow into the storage compartment
(depending on the rotary regulator position for the fan). You can use the storage compartment, for example, to temper drinks
cans, etc.
If you do not use the air inlet in the storage compartment, the end
cover should always be kept closed.
Note
Push the lid of the armrest up to stop to the rear before operating the
handbrake.
