Front center console storage compartment
ventilation
The front center console compartment has its own air
outlet.
To open: Slide the lever up.
To close: Slide the lever down.
The air volume is dependent on the setting of:
•
air distribution control,
• air volume control,
• air outlets in the dashboard.
The air temperature is about the same as that of the
dashboard air outlets. It cannot be regulated separately.
Notes:
The compartment can get very warm due to its confined
space. When storing heat sensitive objects in the
compartment, close the air outlet while heating the
passenger compartment.
Do not allow articles to obstruct the air outlet in the
storage compartment.
