Useful information
This Operator's Manual describes all models
as well as standard and optional equipment of
your vehicle that were available at the time of
going to print. Country-specific variations are
possible. Note that your vehicle may not be
equipped with all of the described functions.
This also applies to systems and functions rel-
evant to safety.

WARNING
If you transport objects in the vehicle inte-
rior and these are not adequately secured,
they could slip or be flung around and
thereby strike vehicle occupants. In addi-
tion, cup holders, open stowage spaces and
mobile phone brackets may not always be
able to hold the objects placed in them in
the event of an accident. There is a risk of
injury, particularly in the event of sharp
braking or sudden changes of direction.
R Always stow objects in such a way that
they cannot be tossed about in these or
similar situations.
R Always make sure that objects do not pro-
trude out of the stowage spaces, luggage
nets or stowage nets.
R Ensure that closable stowage spaces are
shut before beginning your journey.
R Always stow and secure heavy, hard, poin-
ted, sharp-edged, fragile or large objects
in the cargo compartment.

Important safety notes
G
WARNING
When objects are unsecured or inadequately
secured, they can slip, turn over or be
thrown about, striking vehicle occupants.
This also applies to:
R luggage or loads
R seats which have been removed and are
being transported in the vehicle in an
exceptional case.
There is a risk of injury, particularly in the
event of a braking maneuver or abrupt
change in direction.
Always stow objects in such a way that they
cannot be tossed about. Before traveling,
secure objects, luggage or loads to prevent
them slipping or tipping over. If you remove
a seat, store it preferably outside the vehi-
cle. G
WARNING
As a result of improperly placed or unevenly
distributed loads, the center of gravity of the
load being transported may be too high or
too far back. This can significantly impair
handling as well as steering and braking
characteristics. There is a risk of an acci-
dent. Always make sure that the center of gravity
of the load is:
R between the axles
and
R as low as possible, near the rear axle. G
WARNING
When the permissible wheel loads, axle
loads and/or the maximum permissible
gross vehicle weight are exceeded, driving
safety is compromised. The handling as well
as steering and braking characteristics may
be significantly impaired. Overloaded tires
may overheat, causing them to burst. There
is a risk of an accident.
When transporting a load, always observe
the permissible wheel loads, axle loads and
the maximum permissible gross vehicle
weight for the vehicle (including occupants).
! If you are using a roof carrier, observe the
maximum roof load and maximum roof car-
rier load.
R Do not stack luggage or loads higher than
the backrests.
R Objects to be transported should preferably
be stowed in the cargo compartment.
R When transporting luggage, always use the
cargo tie-down rings for securing loads and
a cargo net, if installed.
R Use cargo tie-down rings and fasteners
which are suitable for the weight and size of
the load.
When using suitable load securing aids and tie
downs, always follow the manufacturer's oper-
ating instructions, in particular the notes on
discard criteria contained therein.
Load securing aids or tie downs must not be
used if:
R identification marks are missing or illegible
R there are yarn breakages, damage to bear-
ing seams or other signs of tearing
R there are signs of shearing, deformation,
pinching or other damage
R there is damage to clamping or connecting
elements
Load securing aids and tie downs in this condi-
tion are ready for discard and must be 242
