Audi Q5: Storing

General overview

There are numerous places to store items in your vehicle.

  • Glove compartment
  • Cooling box in glove compartment
  • Storage compartment in the roof
  • Coat hooks
  • Storage in the door panels
  • Storage net in footwell
  • Storage net in the front seatbacks
  • Storage net in luggage compartment

WARNING

  • Always remove objects from the instrument panel. Any items not put away could slide around inside the vehicle while driving or when accelerating or when applying the brakes or when driving around a corner.
  • When you are driving make sure that anything you may have placed in the center console or other storage locations cannot fall out into the footwells. In case of sudden braking you would not be able to brake or accelerate.
  • Any pieces of clothing that you have hung up must not interfere with the driver's view.

    The coat hooks are designed only for lightweight clothing. Never hang any clothing with hard, pointed or heavy objects in the pockets on the coat hooks. During sudden braking or in an accident - especially if the airbag is deployed - these objects could injure any passengers inside the vehicle.
