Press repeatedly to reduce the intensity of the heater until it is switched off.
The level of the seat heater is indicated by the number of illuminated warning
lights in the switch.WARNINGIf you or a passenger suffer from limited perception of pain and/or temper-
ature, e.g. through medication, injury or chronic illness (e.g. diabetes), we
recommend you do not use seat heater on the driver or front passenger
seat. This can lead to burns on the back, the posterior and the legs which
are difficult to heal. If the seat heater is used, we recommend to make reg-
ular breaks in your journey when driving long distances, so that the body
can recuperate from the stress of the journey. Please consult your doctor,
who can evaluate your specific condition.
CAUTION
■ Do not kneel on the seats or otherwise apply concentrated pressure to them.■The seat heater in the following cases will not turn on - there is a risk of
damaging the seat covers and seat heater. ■The seats are not occupied.
■ Items are fastened to or stored on the seats e.g. child seat, bags etc.
■ Additional seat covers or protective covers are fixed to the seats.■
Clean the seat covers » page 146.
Note
■
If the heaters for the rear seats are set to their highest intensity - level 2,
they are automatically switched down to level 1 after 15 minutes.■

Please observe the following for the purpose of maintaining good handling
characteristics of your vehicle:
›
Distribute loads as evenly as possible.
›
Place heavy objects as far forward as possible.
›
Attach the items of luggage to the lashing eyes or by using the fixing nets
» page 84 .
In the event of an accident, even small and light objects gain so much kinetic energy that they can cause severe injuries.
The magnitude of the kinetic energy is dependent on the speed at which the
vehicle is travelling and the weight of the object.
Example: In the event of a frontal collision at a speed of 50 km/h, an object
weighing 4.5 kg produces energy corresponding to 20 times its own weight.
This means that it results in a weight of approx. 90 kg “ ”.
Luggage compartment light
The warning light turns on when tailgate is opened.
The warning light turns off when the tailgate is closed.
If the boot lid is open and the ignition switched off, the light will extinguish
automatically after around 10 minutes.
WARNING■ Always store transported objects in the boot and attach them to the lash-
ing eyes.■
Loose objects can be thrown forward during a sudden manoeuvre or in
case of an accident and can injure the occupants or other road users.
■
Loose objects could hit a deployed airbag and injure occupants – risk to
life!
■
Please note that the handling properties of the vehicle may be affected
when transporting heavy objects as the centre of gravity can be shifted –
risk of accident. The speed and style of driving must be adjusted according-
ly.
■
If the items of luggage or objects are attached to the lashing eyes with
unsuitable or damaged lashing straps, injuries can occur in the event of
braking manoeuvres or accidents. To prevent items of luggage from moving
around, always use suitable lashing straps that are firmly attached to the
lashing eyes.
■
Items carried in the luggage compartment must be stowed in such a way
that no objects are able to slip forward under sudden driving manoeuvres
or braking – risk of injury.
■
When transporting objects in the luggage compartment that has been en-
larged by folding the rear seats forward, ensure the safety of the passen-
gers transported on the other rear seats » page 10.
■
Do not drive with the luggage compartment lid open or unlatched, other-
wise exhaust gases may get into the interior of the vehicle – risk of poison-
ing!
■
Do not exceed the permissible axle loads and permissible gross weight of
the vehicle – risk of accident!
■
Do not transport people in the boot!
CAUTION
■ Please ensure that the heating elements for the rear window heater are not
damaged as a result of abrasive objects.■
Tyre pressure must be adjusted to the load » page 161.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Recirculated air modeRead and observe
and on page 94 first.
Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air from outside the vehicle getting in-to the vehicle, for example when driving through a tunnel or when standing in
a traffic jam.
In recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of the vehicle and then
fed back into the interior.

Recirculated air mode is switched off automatically if the following conditions
are met.
The blower is switched on.

To switch off recirculated air mode, press the symbol key
 again. The

icon in the display goes out.
WARNINGThe recirculation system cannot be switched on for a longer period of time,
because there is no supply of fresh air from the outside. “Stale air” may re-
sult in fatigue in the driver and occupants, reduce attention levels and also
cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an accident increases.
Switch off recirculated air mode as soon as the windows start to mist up.
CAUTION
We recommend not smoking in the vehicle when the recirculating air operation
is switched on. The smoke sucked from inside the vehicle is deposited on the
evaporator of the air conditioner. This produces a permanent odour when the
air conditioning system is operating which can only be eliminated through con-
siderable effort and expense (replacement of compressor).

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Alcantara®
Dust and dirt in pores, creases and seams may chafe and damage the surface.
Therefore, they must be removed regularly at short intervals with a cloth or
vacuum cleaner.
Minor changes in colour caused by use are normal.
CAUTION
■ For Alcantara ®
seat covers, do not use any solvents, floor wax, shoe cream,
stain remover, leather cleaners or similar agents.■
Avoid leaving the vehicle in bright sunlight for long periods of time in order
to stop the artificial leather, materials or Alcantara ®
from bleaching. During ex-
tended periods of standing outdoors, protect artificial leather, fabrics or Alcan-
tara ®
by covering.
■
Some clothing materials, such as dark denim, do not have sufficient colour
fastness. This can cause damage or clearly visible discolouration to seat covers
even when treated correctly. This is particularly true for light-coloured uphols-
tery. This is not a defect in the seat cover, but poor colour fastness of the
clothing textiles.
Seat covers
Read and observe
and on page 144 first.
Electrically heated seats
Use a specific cleaning agent such as dry foam or similar to clean the covers.
»
.
Seats without seat heating
Thoroughly vacuum the seat covers with a vacuum cleaner before cleaning.
Clean the seat covers with a damp cloth or cleaning agents particularly formu-
lated for them.
Compressed areas created on the fabrics by everyday use can be removed by
brushing against the nap with a lightly moistened brush.
Always treat all parts of the upholstery so that no visible boundaries are cre-
ated. Then leave the seat to dry completely.
CAUTION
■ Do not clean the covers of electrically heated seats either with water or with
other liquids - there is a risk of damaging the seat heating system.■
Regularly vacuum dust from the seat covers using a vacuum cleaner.
■ Electrically heated seats must not be dried after cleaning by switching on the
heater.■
Do not sit on wet seats - there is a risk of stretching the upholstery.
■
Always clean the seats “from seam to seam”.
Safety belts
Read and observe
and on page 144 first.
Wash dirty seat belts with a mild, soapy solution.
Remove dirt with a soft brush.
WARNING■ The seat belts must not be removed for cleaning.■Never clean the seat belts chemically as chemical cleaning products could
destroy the fabric.■
The seat belts must not be allowed to come into contact with corrosive
liquids (such as acids etc.).
■
Inertia reel belts must be completely dried before being rolled up.
