14Safe driving
WARNING
The driving behaviour and braking ability change when transporting
heavy and large objects.
● Adjust your speed and driving style to visibility, road, traffic and
weather conditions.
● Accelerate gently and carefully.
● Avoid sudden braking and manoeuvres.
● Brake early.
Transporting a load
Secure all objects in the vehicle
● Distribute the load throughout the vehicle, on the roof and in a trailer as
uniformly as possible.
● Transport heavy objects as far forward as possible in the luggage com-
partment and lock the seat backs in the vertical position.
● Secure luggage in the luggage compartment with suitable straps on the
fastening rings ⇒ page 127.
● Check the headlight adjustment ⇒ page 96.
● Use the suitable tyre pressure according to the load being transported.
Read the tire inflation information label ⇒ page 297.
● For vehicles with a tire pressure indicator, change the vehicle load status
⇒ page 225.
CAUTION
Objects on the shelf could chafe against the wires of the heating element in
the heated rear window and cause damage.
Note
Please note the information about loading a trailer ⇒ page 237 and the
roof carrier system ⇒ page 140.
Driving with the rear lid open
Driving with the rear lid open creates an additional risk. Secure all objects
and secure the rear lid correctly and take all measures possible to reduce
toxic gases from entering the vehicle.
WARNING
Driving with the rear lid unlocked or open could cause serious injuries.
● Always drive with the rear lid closed.
● Secure all objects in the vehicle. Loose items could fall out of the ve-
hicle and injure other road users or damage other vehicles.
● Drive particularly carefully and think ahead.
● Avoid sudden manoeuvres and braking given that this could cause an
uncontrolled movement of the open rear lid.
● When transporting objects that protrude out of the luggage compart-
ment, indicate them suitably. Observe legal requirements.
● If objects must project out of the luggage compartment, the rear lid
must never be used to “secure” or “attach” objects.
● If a baggage rack is fitted on the rear lid, it should be removed before
travelling with the rear lid open.

Safe driving
WARNING
Toxic gases may enter the vehicle interior when the rear lid is open. This
could cause loss of consciousness, carbon monoxide poisoning, serious
injury and accidents.
● To avoid toxic gases entering the vehicle always drive with the rear lid
closed.
● In exceptional circumstances, if you must drive with the rear lid open,
observe the following to reduce the entry of toxic gases inside the vehi-
cle:
–Close all windows and the sliding sunroof.
– Turn off the air recirculation for the heating and air conditioner.
– Open all of the air outlets in the dash panel.
– Turn the heating fan and heater to the highest level.
CAUTION
An open rear lid changes the length and height of the vehicle.
Driving a loaded vehicle
For the best handling when driving a loaded vehicle, note the following:
● Secure all objects
⇒ page 14.
● Accelerate gently and carefully.
● Avoid sudden braking and manoeuvres.
● Brake early.
● If necessary, read the instructions for driving with a trailer
⇒ page 237.
● If necessary, read the instructions for driving with a roof carrier system
⇒ page 140.
WARNING
A sliding load could considerably affect the stability and safety of the ve-
hicle resulting in an accident with serious consequences.
● Secure loads correctly so they do not move.
● When transporting heavy objects, use suitable ropes or straps.
● Lock the seat backs in vertical position.
Specific vehicle weight information
The instructions in the official vehicle documents take precedence. All the
technical data provided in this documentation is applicable to the basic
model. The vehicle data label in the Maintenance Programme or the vehicle
documentation shows which engine is installed in your vehicle.
The figures may be different depending whether additional equipment is fit-
ted, for different models and for special vehicles.
WARNING
Exceeding the maximum authorised weight and the load on the axles
could cause damage to the vehicle, accidents and serious injuries.
● The real load on the axles should never exceed the maximum permit-
ted.
● The load and its distribution in the vehicle have effects on the vehicle
handling and the braking ability. Always drive at a suitable speed.
CAUTION
Distribute the load as uniformly and as low down on the vehicle as possible.
When transporting heavy objects in the luggage compartment, these
should be placed as far forward as possible or over the rear axle to have as
little influence on handling as possible.

Opening and closing
Driver door control lamp.
When the vehicle is locked:MeaningThe red LED flashes for approximately 2
seconds at short intervals and then more
slowly.The deadlock is switched on.
The red LED flashes for about two sec-
onds then turns off. After 30 seconds, the
LED flashes again.The deadlock is switched off.
The red LED remains lit for about 30 sec-
onds.There is a fault in the locking
system. Contact a specialised
workshop.
WARNING
Careless use of the deadlock can cause serious injury.
● Never leave anybody inside the vehicle if this is locked using the key.
When the deadlock is activated, doors cannot be opened from the inside!
● When the doors are locked, it is difficult to get to passengers in the
vehicle interior in case of an emergency. Passengers could remain trap-
ped inside in case of emergency.
Anti-theft alarm
The anti-theft alarm makes it more difficult to break into the vehicle or steal
it.
The anti-theft alarm is automatically turned on when the vehicle is locked
with the key.
When does the system trigger an alarm?
The anti-theft alarm siren will be triggered for about 30 seconds accompa-
nied by optical warning signals for about five minutes when the vehicle is
locked and the following unauthorised actions are taken: ●
When the door is mechanically unlocked using the vehicle key without
turning the ignition within the following 15 seconds.
● A door is opened.
● The bonnet is opened.
● The rear lid is opened.
● When the ignition is switched on with a non-authorised key.
● When the vehicle battery is disconnected.
● When there is movement inside the vehicle (vehicles with interior moni-
toring).
● When the vehicle is towed (vehicles with anti-tow system)
● When the vehicle is lifted (vehicles with anti-tow system).
● Transporting the vehicle on a ferry or by railroad (vehicles with an anti-
tow system or interior monitoring).
● Unhitch a trailer connected to the anti-theft alarm ⇒ page 237.
How to turn OFF the alarm
Unlock the vehicle with the unlocking button on the key or turn on the igni-
tion with a valid key.
Note
● The alarm will be triggered once more when anybody enters the same
zone of surveillance or any other zone. If, for example, after opening a door,
the rear lid is also opened.
● The anti-theft alarm is not activated when the vehicle is locked from
within using the central locking button
.
● If the driver door is unlocked mechanically with the key, only the driver
door is unlocked, the rest of the doors remain locked. Only when the igni-
tion has been turned on will the other doors be available - but not unlocked
- and the central lock button activated.
● If the vehicle battery is run down or flat then the anti-theft alarm will not
operate correctly.

Opening and closing
WARNING (Continued)
● Ensure the rear lid is locked after closing, otherwise, it may open un-
expectedly while driving. A closed rear lid should be flush with the corre-
sponding parts of the bodywork.
● Always keep the rear lid closed while driving to avoid toxic gases en-
tering the vehicle interior.
● Do not open the rear lid when there is a load carrier installed. Like-
wise, the rear lid cannot be opened when a load is attached to it, for ex-
ample bicycles. An open rear lid could close itself if there is an additional
weight on it. If necessary, press down on the rear lid and remove the
load.
● Close and lock both the rear lid and all the other doors when you are
not using the vehicle. Ensure that nobody remains inside the vehicle.
● Never allow children to play inside or around the vehicle without su-
pervision, especially if the rear lid is open. Children could enter the lug-
gage compartment, close the rear lid and become trapped. Depending on
the time of the year, temperatures inside a locked and closed vehicle can
be extremely high or extremely low resulting in serious injuries and ill-
ness or even death, particularly for young children.
● Never leave children or disabled people alone in the vehicle. If the ve-
hicle key or the central locking button is used, they may be locked in the
vehicle.
CAUTION
Before opening the rear lid, ensure that there is sufficient free space to
open and close it, for example if you are towing a trailer or in a garage. Warning lamp
lights upPossible causeSolution
The rear lid is open or not
correctly shut.
Stop driving immediately!
Open the rear lid and close it
again.
Several warning and control lamps should light up for a few seconds when
the ignition is switched on, signalling that the function is being verified.
They will switch off after a few seconds.
A warning lamp appears on the instrument panel if the rear lid is open or
not properly closed.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, a symbol may be displayed on the
dash panel screen instead of the warning lamp. The indication is also visi-
ble when the ignition is switched off. The indication disappears around 15
seconds after the vehicle has been locked.
WARNING
If the rear lid is not correctly closed, it could open unexpectedly when
driving and cause serious injuries.
● Always stop immediately and close the rear lid.
● Ensure that the rear lid has been locked into place by the element on
the lock carrier when you close it.

● OR: Press and hold the
button on the centre console for approxi-
mately 1 second ⇒ Fig. 53.
● OR: Press the ⇒ Fig. 54 rear lid button (arrow).
In case of difficulty or obstruction, automatic opening of the rear lid is inter-
rupted.
Electronically opening the rear lid does not work when a trailer is electrically
connected and hitched to a factory fitted tow hitch ⇒ page 237.
The rear lid can be opened manually by applying more force.
Closing the rear lid
● Press and hold the
button on the vehicle key for approximately 1
second.
● OR: Press and hold the
button on the centre console for approxi-
mately 1 second ⇒ Fig. 53.
● OR: Press the ⇒ Fig. 54 rear lid button (arrow).
● Press the button
on the open rear lid ⇒ Fig. 56 ⇒ .
● Manually push the rear lid down to close it.

automatically using the power-close feature ⇒
.
In case of difficulty or obstruction, automatic closing of the rear lid is inter-
rupted and it will open slightly.
Check why the rear lid could not close.
Attempt to close it once more. Interrupting the opening and closing process
Rear lid opening and closing can be stopped by pressing one of the
but-
tons. Each time one of the buttons is pressed, the rear lid moves to its
initial position.
Then, it can be opened or closed by hand. To do this, apply a little more
force.
Memorising the opening angle
The rear lid must be at least half open to memorise an opening angle.
● Stop automatic opening in the opening position required ⇒ page 88.
● Hold down the button ⇒ Fig. 56 with the rear lid open for at least three
seconds. The opening angle is memorised.
Memorisation is confirmed by blinking of the hazard warning lights and an
audible warning.
To be opened completely, the opening angle must be memorised once
more.
● Release the rear lid and open it to the memorised height.
● Push the rear lid all the way up. To do this, apply a little more force.
● Hold down the button ⇒ Fig. 56 with the rear lid open for at least three
seconds.
● The opening angle is reset to the original factory setting.
WARNING
Unsuitable or careless closing and locking of the rear lid could cause se-
rious injuries.
● Never allow children to play inside or around the vehicle without su-
pervision, especially if the rear lid is open. Children could enter the lug-
gage compartment, close the rear lid and become trapped. A locked vehi-
cle can be subjected to extremely high and low temperatures, depending
on the time of year, thus causing serious injuries/illness and even death.

Opening and closing
WARNING
It is possible that the rear lid does not open completely or, if it is open,
closes alone if a large amount of snow has built up on it or if a luggage
rack is fitted. In this case, the rear lid must be supported.
CAUTION
● When using a trailer, ensure that there is sufficient space to open and
close the rear lid.
● Before opening the rear lid, any kind of equipment carrier should be re-
moved, for example a bicycle carrier.
CAUTION
In case of repeated short-term use, the system is turned off to avoid over-
heating.
● When it has cooled, it may be used once again. During this time, the
rear lid may be manually opened or closed applying a little more effort.
● If the vehicle battery is disconnected or the fuse blows when the rear lid
is open, the rear lid system must be re-initialised. To do this, close the rear
lid.
Note
Before closing the rear lid, make sure that the key has not been left inside
the luggage compartment. Electric windows
