Storage compartments Introduction Storage compartments must only be used to
store light or small objects.
The front central armrest compartment hous-
es the factory-fitted
AUX-IN or multimedia
(MEDIA-IN) connection sockets.
The factory-fitted
CD changer is located in the
left-hand storage compartment of the boot. WARNING
In the event of sudden braking movements or
turns, loose objects may be thrown around
the vehicle interior. This could cause serious
injuries to passengers and cause the driver to
lose control of the vehicle.
● Do not transport animals or place hard,
heavy or sharp objects inside the vehicle in:
open storage compartments, dash panel, rear
shelf, items of clothing or bags.
● While driving, always keep object compart-
ments closed. WARNING
Objects falling into the driver's footwell could
prevent use of the pedals. This could lead the
driver to lose control of the vehicle, increas-
ing the risk of a serious accident. ●
Make sure the pedals can be used at all
times, with no objects rolling underneath
them.
● The floor mat should always be secured to
the floor.
● Never place other mats or rugs on top of
the original mat supplied by the factory.
● Make sure that no objects can fall into the
driver's footwell while the vehicle is in mo-
tion. CAUTION
● Objects on the shelf could chafe against
the wires of the heating element in the heat-
ed rear window and cause damage.
● Do not keep heat-sensitive objects, food or
medicines inside the vehicle. Heat and cold
could damage them or render them useless.
● Light-transparent objects placed inside the
vehicle, such as lenses, magnifying glasses
or transparent suction caps on the windows,
may concentrate the sun's rays and cause
damage to the vehicle. Note
The ventilating slits between the heated rear
window and the shelf must not be covered so
that used air can escape from the vehicle. Spectacle case in the roof console

Introduction Bottle holders
There is a bottle holder in the open compart-
ments in the driver and front passenger
doors and in that of the sliding door. WARNING
Improper use of the drink holders can cause
injury.
● Never place hot drinks in the drink holders.
During sudden braking or driving manoeu-
vres, the hot drink could be spilled and lead
to scalding.
● Ensure that no bottles or other object are
dropped in the driver footwell, as they could
get under the pedals and obstruct their work-
ing.
● Never place heavy containers, food or other
heavy objects in the drink holder. In the
event of an accident, these heavy objects
could be “thrown around” the vehicle interior
and cause serious injuries. WARNING
Closed bottles inside the vehicle could ex-
plode or crack due to the heat or the cold.
● Never leave a closed bottle in the vehicle if
the inside temperature is too high or too low. CAUTION
Do not leave open cans in the drink holders
when the vehicle is in motion. They could
spill during braking, for example, and cause
damage to the vehicle and the electrical sys-
