Glove compartment

Glove compartment
Opening: Pull the handle. The compartment opens and its light comes on.
Closing: Close the lid.
Do not leave the glove compartment open unnecessarily.
An open glove compartment may cause injury in an accident.
Locking: The compartment is locked with the key for the central locking system. It can only be unlocked with this same key.
If you give only the spare key to, for example, a hotel employee, they will not be able to unlock the glove compartment with it.
Rechargeable portable lamp: The lamp is located in the glove compartment on the left. Thanks to overcharge protection, it can remain permanently in the socket.
Insert the lamp into the socket only when switched off, otherwise there is a risk of deep discharge and damage.
