Key binding for showing TODO items in Emacs org-mode

I'm starting to use org-mode, and I'm having problems understanding the key binding for showing TODO items. In this section of the beginners tutorial says:

C-c C-v – show todos in current document

But when I type it, Emacs is expecting me to type more keys...

Where am I supposed to be in the org file in order to make that key binding work? What am I doing wrong?

I'd guess that the tutorial is out-of-date. C-c C-v is a prefix key for Org babel. Type C-c C-v C-h to see the commands under it. To see the current TODO items in a file, you can use sparse tree commands, like C-c / t (see (info "(org)Sparse trees")). You can use the agenda to list all TODO items of a file by restricting the output to the current file with C-c a < t, assuming you've bound org-agenda to C-c a (see (info "(org)Agenda dispatcher")).
