Cargo management
system
The FlexOrganizer is a flexible
system for dividing the load
compartment or securing loads. The system consists of
■ adapters,
■ variable partition net,
■ mesh pockets,
■ hooks.
The components are fitted in two rails
in the side panels using adapters and
hooks. The partitioning net can also
be fitted directly in front of the tailgate. Variable partition net
Insert an adapter into each rail: fold
open the handle plate, insert adapter
into upper and lower groove of rail
and move to required position. Turn
handle plate upwards to lock the
adapter. The rods of the net must be
extended before inserting into the
adapters:

pull out all of the end pieces
and lock by rotating clockwise.
To install, push rods together a little
and insert into the relevant openings
in the adapters. The longer rod must
be inserted into the upper adapter. To remove, press the net rod together
and remove from the adapters. Fold
open the adapter handle plate,
disengage from lower groove and
then from upper groove.
Hooks and net pocket
Insert luggage hooks into required
position in rails by inserting hooks in
upper

groove of rail and pushing them
into lower groove. Net pocket can be
suspended from the luggage hooks.

Storage
75
Fasten the roof rack at the fastening
points.
Version with roof railing To fasten the roof rack, insert the
mounting bolts in the holes indicated
in the figure. Loading information
■ Heavy objects in the load
compartment should be placed
against the seat backrests. Ensure
the backrests are securely
engaged.
If objects can be stacked,
the heavier objects should be
placed at the bottom.
■ Secure objects with lashing straps attached to lashing eyes 3 70.
■ Secure loose objects in load compartment to prevent sliding. ■ When transporting objects in the
load
compartment, the backrests of
the second row 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.
■ The load must not obstruct the operation of the pedals, hand 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.
■ The payload is the difference between the permitted gross
vehicle weight (see identification
plate 3 208) and the EC kerb
weight.
To calculate the EC kerb weight,
enter the data for your vehicle on
page 3 3.

76
Storage
The EC kerb weight includes
weights for the driver (68 kg),
luggage (7 kg) and all fluids (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.
The permissible roof load is 75 kg
and 100 kg for vehicles with roof
railing. The roof load is the
combined weight of the roof rack
and the load.

Driving and operating
133
Do not accelerate while engaging
a gear. Never depress the accelerator
pedal and brake pedal at the same
time.
When a gear is engaged, the vehicle
slowly begins to creep when the
brake is released.
Gears 3, 2, 1 3, 2, 1 = Transmission does not
shift above the selected
gear.
Press button on selector lever to
engage 3 or 1 . Only select 3
, 2 or 1 to prevent
automatic upshifting or as an aid in
engine braking.
Engine braking
To utilise the engine braking effect,
select
a lower gear in good time when
driving downhill.
Rocking the vehicle
Rocking the vehicle is only
permissible if the vehicle is stuck in
sand, mud or snow. Move the selector
lever between D and R in a repeat
pattern. Do not race the engine and
avoid sudden acceleration.
Parking
Apply the hand brake and engage P.
The ignition key can only be removed
when the selector lever is in position
P. Manual mode
Move selector lever out of position
D
towards the left and then forwards or
backwards.
+ = Shift to a higher gear.
- = Shift to a lower gear.
If a higher gear is selected when
vehicle speed is too low, or a lower
gear when vehicle speed is too high,
the shift is not executed.
If engine speed is too low, the
transmission automatically shifts to
a lower gear above a specific vehicle
speed.

138
Driving and operating
high engine speed has been reached.
It shifts down in good time when
braking.
Manual mode
To utilise the engine braking effect,
select
a lower gear in good time when
driving downhill.
Rocking the vehicle
Rocking the vehicle is only
permissible if the vehicle is stuck in
sand, mud or snow. Move the selector
lever between R and A in a repeat
pattern. Do not race the engine and
avoid sudden acceleration.
Parking
Apply the hand brake. The most
recently engaged gear (see
transmission display) remains
engaged. With N, no gear is engaged.
When the ignition is switched off the
transmission no longer responds to
movement of the selector lever. Manual mode
If a higher gear is selected when the
engine speed is too low, or a lower
gear when the speed is too high, the
shift is not executed. This prevents
the engine from running at too low or
too high an engine speed.
If engine speed is too low, the
transmission automatically shifts to
a lower gear.
If engine speed is too high, the
transmission
only switches to a higher
gear via kickdown.
When + or - is selected in automatic
mode, the transmission switches to
manual mode and shifts accordingly.
Electronic driving
programmes
■ Following a cold start, the operating
temperature programme increases
engine speed to quickly bring the
catalytic converter to the required
temperature. ■ The adaptive programme tailors
gearshifting to the driving
conditions, e.g. greater load or
gradients.
■ When Sport
mode is engaged, shift
times are reduced and the
transmission shifts at higher engine
speeds (unless cruise control is
on). Sport mode 3 143.
Winter programme T Activate the Winter programme if you
have problems starting off on
a slippery road surface.

automatically 3 91. It is advisable to
check the engine oil level manually
before embarking on a long journey. Check with the vehicle on a level
surface. The engine must be at
operating temperature and switched
off for at least 5 minutes.
Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean,
insert

it to the stop on the handle, pull
out and read the engine oil level.
Insert dipstick to the stop on the
handle and make half a turn. Different dipsticks are used
depending on engine variant.
