side Fig. 77 Storage compartment: Using
cooling system
– You can switch on the cooling system by pulling the lever in direction of arrow
⇒ fig. 77.
– Switch off the cooling system by inserting the lever.
Opening the air supply when the air conditioning system is switched on allows
cooled air to flow into the storage compartment.
Opening the air inlet when the air conditioning system is on causes fresh or interi-
or air to flow into the storage compartment.
We recommend that you switch off the cooling if it is operating in the heating
mode or if you are not using the cooling system for the storage compartment. Storage compartment on the dash panel
Fig. 78 Dash panel: Storage compart-
ment

wards.
Certain model versions are equipped without lid for the storage compartment. WARNING
● The storage compartment is not a substitute for the ashtray and must also
not be used for such purposes - risk of fire!
● The storage compartment must always be closed when driving for safety
reasons.
● Do not put any highly inflammable objects or objects which are sensitive to
heat (e.g. lighters, sprays, spectacles, carbonated drinks) in the storage com-
partment. 81

Front seat armrest with storage compartment Fig. 83 Armrest: Storage compartment/cooling of storage compartment
The armrest is adjustable for height and length.
Opening stowage compartment
–
Open the lid of the armrest in the direction of arrow 1
⇒  fig. 83 . Closing stowage compartment
– Open the lid up to the stop, then you can fold it downwards.
Setting height
– First of all fold the lid to the bottom and lift it in the direction of arrow into one
of the 4 fixed positions.
Adjusting in forward/back direction
– Push the lid into the desired position.
Opening air inlet
– Pull the lock A in upward direction.
Closing air inlet
– Push the lock A 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 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 ad-
justment 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 reg-
ulator 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.  83
