Keys, doors and windows31Windows
Windscreen
Heat-reflecting windscreen
The heat-reflecting windscreen has a
coating which reflects solar radiation. Also data signals, e.g. from toll
stations, might be reflected.
The marked areas of the windscreen
behind the interior mirror are not
covered with the coating. Devices for
electronic data recording and fee
payment must be attached in these
areas. Otherwise data recording
malfunctions may occur.
Windscreen stickers
Do not attach stickers such as toll
road stickers or similar on the
windscreen in the area of the interior
mirror. Otherwise the detection zone
of the sensor could be restricted.
Power windows9 Warning
Take care when operating the
power windows. Risk of injury,
particularly to children.
If there are children on the rear seats, switch on the child safety
system for the power windows.
Keep a close watch on the
windows when closing them.
Ensure that nothing becomes
trapped in them as they move.
Power windows can be operated:
● with ignition on,
● within 10 minutes of switching ignition off.
After switching off the ignition,
window operation is disabled when
the driver's door is opened.
Operate the switch for the respective
window by pushing to open or pulling to close.
For incremental operation: Push or
pull switch briefly.
For automatic opening or closing:
Push or pull switch for longer.
Window moves up or down
automatically with safety function
enabled. To stop movement, operate
the switch once more in the same
direction.

70StorageLoading information● Heavy objects in the load compartment should be evenlydistributed and placed as far
forward as possible. Ensure the
backrests are securely engaged.
If objects can be stacked, the
heavier objects should be placed
at the bottom.
With rear seats in the folded position, objects must not be stacked higher than the seat
backrests.
● Secure objects with lashing straps attached to lashing eyes
3 69.
● Secure loose objects in the load compartment, e.g. with a luggagefloor net, to prevent sliding.
● When transporting objects in the load compartment, the backrests
of the rear seats must not be
angled forward.
● Do not allow the load to protrude above the upper edge of the
backrests.● Do not place any objects on the load compartment cover or the
instrument panel, and do not cover the sensor on top of the
instrument panel.
● The load must not obstruct the operation of the pedals, electricalparking brake and gear selector,
or hinder the freedom of
movement of the driver. Do not
place any unsecured objects in
the interior.
● Do not drive with an open load compartment.9Warning
Always make sure that the load in
the vehicle is securely stowed.
Otherwise objects can be thrown
around inside the vehicle and
cause personal injury or damage
to the load or vehicle.
● The payload is the difference
between the permitted gross
vehicle weight (see identification
plate 3 205) and the EC kerb
weight.
To calculate the EC kerb weight,
enter the data for your vehicle in
the weights table at the front of
this manual.
The EC kerb weight includes
weights for the driver (68 kg),
luggage (7 kg) and all fluids (fuel
tank 90% full).
Optional equipment and
accessories increase the kerb
weight.
● Driving with a roof load increases
the sensitivity of the vehicle to
cross-winds and has a
detrimental effect on vehicle
handling due to the vehicle's
higher centre of gravity.
Distribute the load evenly and
secure it properly with retaining
straps. Adjust the tyre pressure
and vehicle speed according to
the load conditions. Check and
retighten the straps frequently.
Do not drive faster than
120 km/h.
The permissible roof load is
100 kg. The roof load is the
combined weight of the roof rack and the load.
