Opening and closing the Owner's Manual storage compartment
The storage compartment at the top of the glove compartment is designed to hold the Owner's Manual
or the MDI (MEDIA-IN) jack.
The Owner's Manual or MDI (MEDIA-IN) jack is located in a storage compartment at the top, which
can be pulled down to open ⇒ fig. 103 (3).
The strap (2) indicates the handle for opening the storage compartment.
If the vehicle is not equipped with the MDI (MEDIA-IN) jack, always keep the Owner's Manual in this
storage compartment. To stow the Owner's Manual, place it in the slot with the binding facing the
inside of the glove compartment door.
Holders
Depending on the model, there may be holders for a pen and a notepad in the glove compartment.
Cooling the glove compartment
There is an air vent (1) in the back of the glove compartment. Cool air can be directed into the glove
compartment if the air conditioner is on. Open or close the air vent by turning it.
WARNING
An open glove compartment door can increase the risk of serious injury during sudden
braking or driving maneuvers or in a crash.
x Always keep the glove compartment closed while the vehicle is moving.
NOTICE
Keep the storage compartment with the CD changer (3) closed while the vehicle is moving,
otherwise the CD changer may be damaged by vibrations.
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
damage the vehicle. Never put any small objects in the glove compartment for this reason.
Depending on options, a factory-installed CD changer or Media Device Interface (MDI) /
(MEDIA-IN) may be located in the glove compartment ⇒ Booklet Radio, or ⇒ Booklet Navigation
system.
