2011 VOLKSWAGEN TOUAREG Owners Manual

Fig. 124 Inside the glove compartment.

NOTICE
Keep the compartment with the DVD drive (2) closed while driving; otherwise, vibration may damage the DVD drive.
NOTICE
In some vehicle models, design considerations have made it necessary to have openings in the glove compartment behind the Owner's Manual slot, for example. Small items may fall through these openings and get behind the instrument panel. This can cause unusual noises and dam-age the vehicle. Never put any small objects in the glove compartment for this reason.

WARNING
Clothes or other items on the shelf behind the rear seat backrest may limit visibility, and cause thereby causing accidents and severe personal injuries.
x Always hang clothes so that they do not limit visibility.
x Always use the built-in coat hooks only for lightweight clothing. Never leave any heavy or sharp-edged items in the pockets that may interfere with airbag deployment and can cause personal injury in a collision.
