Loading guidelines
GWARNING
If objects, luggage or loads are not secured
or not secured sufficiently, they could slip,
tip over or be flung around and thereby hit
vehicle occupants. There is a risk of injury,
particularly in the event of sudden braking
or a sudden change in direction.
Always store objects so that they cannot be
flung around. Secure objects, luggage or
loads against slipping or tipping before the
journey.
GDANGER
Combustion engines emit poisonous
exhaust gases such as carbon monoxide.
Exhaust gases can enter the vehicle interior
if the tailgate is open while the engine is
running, especially if the vehicle is in
motion. There is a risk of poisoning.
Always switch off the engine before opening
the tailgate. Never drive with the tailgate
open.
GWARNING
The exhaust tail pipe and tail pipe trim can
become very hot. If you come into contact
with these parts of the vehicle, you could
burn yourself. There is a risk of burns.
Always be particularly careful and supervise
children closely around the exhaust pipe and
the exhaust pipe trims. Allow these compo-
nents to cool down before touching them.
The handling characteristics of a laden vehicleare dependent on the distribution of the loadwithin the vehicle.
Observe the following notes when loading andtransporting a load:
RNever exceed the maximum permissiblegross vehicle mass or the gross axle weightrating for the vehicle (including occupants).The values are specified on the vehicle iden-
tification plate on the B-pillar of the driver'sdoor.
RThe cargo compartment is the preferredplace to carry objects.
RPosition heavy loads as far forward as possi-ble and as low down in the cargo compart-ment as possible.
RThe load must not protrude above the upperedge of the seat backrests.
RAlways place the load against the rear orfront seat backrests. Make sure that theseat backrests are securely locked intoplace.
RAlways place the load behind unoccupiedseats if possible.
RUse the cargo tie-down rings and the parcelnets to transport loads and luggage.
RUse cargo tie-down rings and fasteningmaterials appropriate for the weight andsize of the load.
RThe maximum load capacity of the stowagewell under the cargo compartment floor is55 lbs(25 kg).
RSecure the load with sufficiently strong andwear-resistant tie-downs. Pad sharp edgesfor protection.
!Do not position the load on one part of thefolding cargo compartment floor only. Themaximum load capacity of the folding cargocompartment floor is 220 lbs(100 kg). Dis-tribute theweight evenly to avoid damagingthe cargo compartment floor. Place a solidboard under the load if necessary. Pleasenote that the load on the cargo compart-ment floor will be increased when the loadis lashed down.

These are characteristics of leather and notmaterial defects.
Seat covers of other materials
!Observe the following when cleaning:
Rclean artificial leather covers with a clothmoistened with a solution containing 1%detergent (e.g. dish washing liquid).
Rclean cloth covers with a microfiber clothmoistened with a solution containing 1%detergent (e.g. dish washing liquid). Rubcarefully and always wipe entire seat sec-tions to avoid leaving visible lines. Leavethe seat to dry afterwards. Cleaningresults depend on the type of dirt andhow long it has been there.
Rclean DINAMICA covers with a dampcloth. Make sure that you wipe entire seatsections to avoid leaving visible lines.
Cleaning the seat belts
GWARNING
Seat belts can become severely weakened if
bleached or dyed. This could cause the seat
belts to tear or fail, for instance, in the event
of an accident. This poses an increased risk
of injury or fatal injury.
Never bleach or dye the seat belts.
!Do not clean the seat belts using chemicalcleaning agents. Do not dry the seat beltsby heating at temperatures above 176 ‡(80 †) or in direct sunlight.

Battery (vehicle)
Important safety notes
Special tools and expert knowledge arerequired when working on the battery, e.g.removal and installation. You should thereforehave all work involving the battery carried outat a qualified specialist workshop.
GWARNING
Work carried out incorrectly on the battery
can lead, for example, to a short circuit and
thus damage the vehicle electronics. This
can lead to function restrictions applying to
safety-relevant systems, e.g. the lighting
system, the ABS (anti-lock braking system)
or the ESP®(Electronic Stability Program).
The operating safety of your vehicle may be
restricted.
You could lose control of the vehicle, for
example:
Rwhen braking
Rin the event of abrupt steering maneuvers
and/or when the vehicle's speed is not
adapted to the road conditions
There is a risk of an accident.
In the event of a short circuit or a similar
incident, contact a qualified specialist work-
shop immediately. Do not drive any further.
You should have all work involving the bat-
tery carried out at a qualified specialist
workshop.
For further information about ABS and ESP®,see (Ypage 60) and (Ypage 63).
GWARNING
Electrostatic build-up can lead to the crea-
tion of sparks, which could ignite the highly
explosive gases of a battery. There is a risk
of an explosion.
Before handling the battery, touch the vehi-
cle body to remove any existing electrostatic
build-up.
The highly flammable gas mixture forms whencharging the battery as well as when jump-starting.
Always make sure that neither you nor the bat-tery is electrostatically charged. A build-up ofelectrostatic charge can be caused, for exam-ple:
Rby wearing clothing made from syntheticfibers
Rdue to friction between clothing and seats
Rif you push or pull the battery across thecarpet or other synthetic materials
Rif you rub the battery with a cloth
GWARNING
During the charging process, a battery pro-
duces hydrogen gas. If a short circuit occurs

tions are vehicle-specific and may deviatefrom the data shown here. The tire pressurespecifications that are valid for your vehiclecan be found on the Tire and Loading Infor-mation placard and tire pressure table onthe vehicle.
General notes
The recommended tire pressures for the tiresmounted at the factory can be found on thelabels described here.
Operation with an emergency spare wheel:information on operation with an emergencyspare wheel can be found in the general notesin the "Emergency spare wheel" section(Ypage 329).
Further information on tire pressures can beobtained at a qualified specialist workshop.
Tire and Loading Information placard
CRecommended tire pressures
The Tire and Loading Information placard is onthe B-pillar on the driver's side (Ypage 316).
The Tire and Loading Information placard con-tains the recommended tire pressures for coldtires. The recommended tire pressures arevalid for the maximum permissible load and upto the maximum permissible vehicle speed.
Tire pressure table
The tire pressure table is on the inside of thefuel filler flap. It shows the tire pressure for alltires permitted at the factory for this vehicle;see illustration (example).
The tire pressure table contains the recom-mended pressures for cold tires for variousoperating conditions, i.e. differing load andspeed conditions.
If a tire size precedes a tire pressure, the fol-lowing tire pressure information is only validfor that tire size; see illustration (example).
The load conditions "partially laden" and "fullyladen" are defined in the table for differentnumbers of occupants and amounts of lug-gage. The actual number of seats may differ.
Some tire pressure tables show only the rimdiameters instead of the full tire size, e.g.R18.Rim diameter is part of the tire size and can befound on the tire sidewall (Ypage 320).

Determining the correct load limit
Step-by-step instructions
The following steps have been developed asrequired of all manufacturers under Title 49,
Code of U.S. Federal Regulations, Part 575pursuant to the "National Traffic and MotorVehicle Safety Act of 1966".
XStep 1:Locate the statement "The com-bined weight of occupants and cargo shouldnever exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs." on yourvehicle’s Tire and Loading Information plac-ard.
XStep 2:Determine the combined weight ofthe driver and passengers that will be ridingin your vehicle.
XStep 3:Subtract the combined weight ofthe driver and passengers from XXX kilo-grams or XXX lbs.
XStep 4:The resulting figure equals the avail-able amount of cargo and luggage loadcapacity. For example, if the "XXX" amountequals 1400 lbs and there will be five 150-lbpassengers in your vehicle, the amount ofavailable cargo and luggage load capacity is650 lbs (1400 - 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs).
XStep 5:Determine the combined weight ofluggage and cargo being loaded on the vehi-cle. That weight may not safely exceed theavailable cargo and luggage load capacitycalculated in step 4.
Example: steps 1 to 3
The following table shows examples on how to calculate total and cargo load capacities withvarying seating configurations and number and size of occupants. The following examples use aload limit of 1500 lbs (680 kg).This is for illustration purposes only.Make sure you are usingthe actual load limit for your vehicle stated on your vehicle's Tire and Loading Information plac-ard (Ypage 316).
The greater the combined weight of the occupants, the lower the maximum luggage load.
