The perfume atomizer can only be operated
when the climate control system is switched on and is only active when the glove box is
closed.
The perfume atomizer is provided with a pre-
filled perfume vial. You can also choose from
a variety of filled perfume vials and an empty
vial which you can fill yourself.
If you refill an empty perfume vial, observe the
separate information sheet attached to the
vial.
