Closing air inlet
– Push the lock as far as the stop downwards.
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 temper ature which is as high as
the one out of the air outlet nozzle s, depending on temperature setting.
The air inlet in the storage compartment is connected to position
 through adjust-
ment of the control dial for air distribu tion. This position causes the maximum
amount of air to flow into the storage co mpartment (depending on the rotary regu-
lator 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
