This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Fitting and removing the cool box
Switching the cool box on and off 159 161
The cool box may be used while the vehicle is in motion only if it is fitted to the adapter plate.
Power for the cool box can be supplied by any of the 12-volt sockets in the vehicle. The power con-sumption is approx. 33 watts. The cool box has a capacity of 32 litres.
Follow instructions provided for the installation and use of the cool box and keep it in the vehicle wal-let.
As far as possible, keep food and drinks in the cool box in leak-proof containers. Do not overfill the cool box such that air circulation is impaired.
158 Before the journey
• Adjust the backrest of single seats to an upright position.
• Fold up the armrests of the single seats.
• Pull the handle @ up and hold the central table with the handle and the handle recess®.
• Insert the central table guides into the recesses in the seat rails.
• Insert the central table into the seat rails and push them back, so that the removed covers can be placed on the open slots in the seat rails.
• Fold the handle@ back to engage the central table in the seat rails.
• Check that the central table is locked securely. it should now no longer be possible to move the central table.
• The opened central table can carry a maxi-mum of 20 kg. If this weight Is exceeded, theta-ble top or the table module could be damaged.
• Do not raise the table module when the cen-tral table Is located between the single seats. This could cause damage to the table. Battery monitor
The vehicle battery will be drained if the cool box is used when the engine is switched off. For this rea-son, the cool box is fitted with a battery monitor. The battery monitor will switch the cool box off if the vehicle battery has a low charge level. The bat-tery monitor will switch the cool box on again as soon as the battery has reached a suitable charge level, for example, after a long journey.

Dual clutch gearbox DSG®
r-('n First read and observe the Introductory L-.lo:on Information and safety warnings & on page 260.
Description
The DSG® dual clutch gearbox is a gearbox which uses dual-clutch technology to change gear automatically. it uses a dual clutch and two independent gearboxes to enable very fast gear changes with no loss of torque. The DSG® dual clutch gearbox thus combines the performance and economy of a manual gearbox with the com-fort and convenience of a conventional automatic transmission.
How the system works
Engine power is transferred to the drive shafts via the gearbox. In order to change gears, the power transmission between the engine and the gearbox has to be interrupted. This is what the clutch is for.
With the DSG® dual clutch system with its two complementary gearboxes, one gearbox is always connected under load to the engine. When one gear is engaged, another gear is always preselec-
led in the other gearbox. The clutch on the non-driven gear is closed and the other is opened at the same time. This is what makes very fast gear changes possible.
The DSG® dual clutch gearbox is designed to be more efficient than an automatic gearbox. In an au-tomatic gearbox, the torque converter is constantly in use, whereas in the DSG® dual clutch system the idle clutch can be opened, thus saving fuel. With its efficiency, low weight and intelligent control system, the DSG® dual clutch system usually ena-bles fuel consumption equal to or lower than a manual gearbox.
like the manual gearbox, the clutch in the DSG dual clutch system is subject to wear. Regular maintenance is necessary, varying accord-ing to what type of DSG® dual clutch system is in-stalled. For more information see the service schedule. In the DSG® dual clutch system, if one gearbox malfunctions it is deactivated and the oth-er gearbox functions alone *page 267. If this happens, have the system checked as soon as possible by a qualified workshop. DSG® dual clutch gearbox: selecting a gear
