The windscreen wipers only operate if the ignition is switched on and the bon-
net is closed.
Winter setting of the windscreen wiper
If the windscreen wipers are in rest position, they cannot be folded out from
the windscreen. For this reason we recommend adjusting the windscreen wip-
ers in winter so that they can be folded out from the windscreen easily.
▶ Switch on the windscreen wipers.
▶ Switch off the ignition.
The windscreen wipers remain in the position in which they were when
switching off the ignition.
The service position can also be used as a winter position » page 179, Replac-
ing the windscreen wiper blades .WARNING■
Properly maintained windscreen wiper blades are essential for clear visi-
bility and safe driving » page 179, Replacing windscreen wiper blades .■
Do not use the windscreen washer system at low temperatures without
heating the windscreen beforehand. The window washer fluid could other-
wise freeze on the windscreen and restrict the view to the front.
CAUTION
■ In cold temperatures and during the winter, check before switching on the
ignition that the wiper blades are not frozen to the windscreen. If the wind-
screen wipers are switched on when the blades are frozen to the windscreen,
this may damage both the blades and windscreen wiper motor!■
Carefully release frozen wiper blades off the windscreen.
■
Remove snow and ice from the windscreen wipers before driving.
■
If the windscreen wipers are handled carelessly, there is a risk of damage to
the windscreen.
■
Do not switch on the ignition if the front wiper arms are retracted. The wiper
arms could damage the paint of the bonnet.

When transporting cargo the instructions below must be followed
▶ When transporting heavy objects, the driving characteristics change due to
the shift in the centre of gravity. The speed and style of driving must be ad-
justed accordingly.
▶ The cargo is stowed in the luggage compartment. To prevent this from mov-
ing, it should be secured with suitable lashing straps to the lashing eyes or
secured with fixing nets.
▶ Distribute loads as evenly as possible.
▶ Place heavy objects as far forward as possible.
▶ 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.
▶ Match the tyre pressure to the load.
▶ When transporting loads in the luggage compartment that has been en-
larged by folding the rear seats forward, ensure the safety of the passengers
transported on the other rear seats.
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■ Never exceed the maximum permissible load of the respective fasteners,
nets, hooks etc., as heavy objects are not sufficiently secured - there is a
risk of injury!■
If the cargo is tied down with unsuitable or damaged lashing straps, inju-
ries can occur in the event of braking manoeuvres or accidents.
WARNING (Continued)■ Loose cargo can be thrown forward during a sudden manoeuvre or in case
of an accident, and can injure the occupants or other road users.■
Loose cargo could hit a deployed airbag and injure occupants – danger of
death!
CAUTION
■ Never exceed the maximum permissible load of the respective fasteners,
nets, hooks etc. - these could be damaged.■
Please ensure that the heating elements for the rear window heater are not
damaged as a result of abrasive objects.

The heating and air conditioning systems ventilate and heat the vehicle interi-
or. The air conditioning system also cools and dehumidifies the vehicle interior.
The heating effect is dependent upon the coolant temperature, thus full heat
output only occurs when the engine has reached its operating temperature.
The heating and air conditioning systems only operate when the ignition is
switched on.
The cooling system operates only if the following conditions are met. The cooling system is switched on.
The engine is running.
The outside temperature is above approximately +2 °C.
The blower is switched on.
If the cooling system is switched on, the temperature and air humidity drops in the vehicle. The cooling system prevents the windows from misting up during
winter months.
It is possible to briefly activate re-circulated air mode to enhance the cooling
effect » page 97 .
Health protection
To reduce health risks (e.g. common colds), the following instructions for the
use of the cooling system are to be observed. ▶ The difference between the indoor temperature and the outdoor air temper-
ature should not be greater than about 5 ° C.
▶ The cooling system is to be turned off about 10 minutes before the end of
the journey.
▶ Once a year, have the manual air conditioner or Climatronic system disinfec-
ted by a specialist company.WARNING■ For your own safety and that of other road users, ensure that all the win-
dows are free of ice, snow and misting. The blower should always be on to
prevent the windows from misting up.■
Under certain circumstances, air at a temperature of about 5 °C can flow
out of the vents when the cooling system is switched on.
CAUTION
■ The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free (e.g. of ice, snow or
leaves) to ensure that the heating and cooling system operates properly.■
After switching on the cooling system condensation from the evaporator of
the air conditioning may drip down and form a puddle below the vehicle. This is
not a leak!
■
If the coolant temperature is too high, the cooling system is switched off to
ensure that the engine cools down.
