Vanq Owners, Need Your Assistance...
Discussion
As a new Vanquish Volante owner, I've got a few questions that the owner's manual is of no help in answering. Maybe you good gentlemen can help.
1) On the left side of the boot floor, there's a rather long leather hold down strap. It's way too long to keep the inflator in place. Is there something else that should go there?
2) On the inside of the boot lid there are a couple of more loops. What goes there? Maybe a safety triangle or similar?
3) As I read the manual, the leather pouch containing the tow hook and hood crank goes under the removable section on the right side of the boot floor, but there's another leather loop on that small section. If that's not for the tow hook, then for what?
4) Where do you guys keep your owner's manual?
5) I get no sound from the audio system and the tweeters don't rise when the audio is switched on. Additionally, I can't seem to manually tune any stations after making the appropriate menu selection (turning the knob does nothing). Maybe blown fuse 65 in the cabin fuse box?
All help greatly appreciated!

Safety triangle is located under the boot lid itself
Tow hook on the right side

As far as I know warning triangle is no longer a standard fit in the UK! One has to buy the 'Touring Pack' or some such
If so, that's pretty poor form - it's still a legal requirement here isn't it ?Most of the touring pack is eitheronly mandatory for Europe or not mandatory anywhere so I get why that's an extra
Thanks for the info. Yes, the umbrella (which I have) is at the rear edge of the boot as in the coupe. Here in the US, there never was an option for the touring kit AFAIK, so the loops on the boot lid for the safety triangle go unused. I'm still puzzled by the left hand loop, as I've not got any holder for the manual as per Tony.
The left hand loop has a pretty large diameter and is not adjustable, so it would take something pretty big (or several items) to fill up the space available. First aid kit, inflator kit, trickle charger?
On the right, is the tow hook holder held in place by the loop, or is it placed under the pull out section? The manual sates that it is underneath the trim panel. But what, then, is the small loop for? Or, rather, what do you use it for?
