Bottle holder

Bottle holders are located in the open stowage areas of the driver and front passenger doors.

Additional information and warnings:

  • Cleaning and caring for the interior
Incorrect use of the drink holders can cause injury.
  • Do not place any 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.
  • Ensure that drink bottles or any other objects do not enter the driver footwell and obstruct the pedals while the vehicle is in motion.
  • Never place heavy cups, food or any other heavy items in the drink holder. These heavy objects could be flung through the vehicle interior during an accident and cause serious injuries.
Closed drink bottles can explode in the vehicle in extreme heat or crack in extremely cold temperatures.
  • Never leave closed drink bottles in an extremely hot or extremely cold vehicle for extended periods.

NOTICE

Do not leave any open drinks in the drink holder while the vehicle is in motion. Drinks that are spilled, for example during braking, can damage the vehicle and the vehicle electric system.
The inserts for the drink holders can be removed for cleaning purposes.
