Practical equipment
Stowage areas Introduction to the topic
WARNING
Loose objects may be flung through the ve-
hicle interior in the e vent of a sudden driv-
ing or braking manoeuvre. This can cause
serious injury and can also lead to loss of
control of the vehicle.
x Stow objects only in closed stowage
compartments.
x Always keep stowage compartments
closed while the vehicle is in motion.
x The coat hooks in the vehicle should on-
ly be used for lightweight clothing
weighing max. 2.5 kg (approx. 5.5 lbs).
Never leave any heavy, hard or sharp ob-
jects in the pockets. WARNING
If the glove box is left open, this can in-
crease the risk of serious injury in the e
vent
of an accident or during sudden braking or
driving manoeuvres.
x Always keep the glove box closed while
the vehicle is in motion. WARNING
Any lighters in the vehicle could be dam-
aged or accidentally lit. This could lead to
serious burns and other injuries.
x Bef
ore closing stowage areas or com-
partments always make sure that there
is no lighter in the way.
x Never stow lighters in stowage areas or
compartments or on other surfaces in
the vehicle. High surface temperatures,
especially in summer, may cause lighters
to self-ignite. WARNING
Incorrect use of the drink holders can cause
injury.
x Ne
ver place hot drinks in a drink holder.
Hot drinks in a drink holder could be
spilled and cause scalding in any sudden
braking manoeuvre or accident.
x Make sure that only drinks of the appro-
priate size are placed in the drink holder.
Drinks must always be stored securely in
the drink holder. WARNING
Closed drink bottles can explode in the ve-
hicle in e
xtreme heat or burst in extremely
cold temperatures.
x Never leave closed drink bottles in an
extremely hot or extremely cold vehicle
for extended periods. NOTICE
x Do not stow any temperature-sensitiv
e
objects, food or medicines inside the vehi-
cle. Hot and cold temperatures could dam-
age them or render them unusable.
x Objects stored in the vehicle that are
made from transparent materials, such as
transparent suction cups on the windows,
can concentrate the sun

signed differently depending on the vehicle
equipment le vel and because several electri-
cal consumers may use a single fuse. You can
obtain further information about the fuse as-
signment from a Volkswagen dealership.
Several electrical consumers can share a sin-
gle fuse. Conversely, a single consumer could
have more than one fuse.
Therefore fuses should only be replaced
when the cause of the fault has been recti-
fied. If a new fuse blows again shortly after
fitting, have the electrical system checked by
a qualified workshop as soon as possible.
Fuses for emergency services (high-voltage
system)
High-voltage system fuses in the fuse box
under the steering wheel, behind the stow-
age compartment (left-hand drive) or behind
a cover in the glove box (right-hand drive)
and behind a cover on the right side of the
luggage compartment are identified with
a tag to enable emergency services to de-en-
ergise the vehicle as quickly as possible. Nev-
er attempt to replace these fuses or swap
them with other fuses in other slots
