Storage compartments
Principle
The vehicle has various options for storing or
stowing objects, e.g., the glove compartment
or door storage compartments.
Safety information
WARNING
When driving, loose items or devices con-
nected to the vehicle with a cable, i.e., mobile
phones, may be thrown around the vehicle,
e.g., in the event of an accident or when brak-
ing or performing evasive maneuvers. There
is a risk of injury and risk of property damage.
Secure loose objects or devices that are con-
nected to the vehicle via a cable.
WARNING
Breakable objects such as glass bottles or
glasses can break in the event of an acci-
dent, braking or an evasive maneuver. Bro-
ken glass can be scattered in the car's in-
terior. There is a risk of injury and risk of
property damage. Do not use any breakable
objects while driving. Only stow breakable
objects in closed storage compartments.
WARNING
Open flaps of the storage compartments,
e.g., glove compartment or center armrest,
protrude into the interior when folded open
and may be in the way of an airbag that
deploys. In addition, objects in the open stor-
age compartment can be thrown into the ve-
hicle interior during the trip, for instance, in
the event of an accident or when braking or
making an evasive maneuver. There is a risk
of injury. Always close storage compartments
immediately after use.
