When the reasons for the deactivation no longer apply, the power socket will be
re-activated automatically. Then re-activate connected devices which are switch-
ed on »
.
WARNING■
The power socket can only be used for connecting approved electrical ac-
cessories with a two-pin 230V plug, with a total power uptake of up to 150 watt.■
The power socket and the connected electrical devices only work if the igni-
tion is switched on!
■
Improper use can lead to serious injury or fire. Therefore never leave chil-
dren unattended in the vehicle – risk of injury!
■
Safely stow away all connected devices during the journey to prevent them
from being thrown around the interior in the event of a sudden braking ma- noeuvre or an accident – risk of death!
■

Please observe the following for the purpose of maintaining good handling char-
acteristics 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 using the nets
» page 92.
In the event of an accident, even small and light objects gain so much kinetic en-
ergy that they can cause severe injuries.
The magnitude of the kinetic energy is dependent on the speed at which the ve-
hicle 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 with a
weight of 4.5 kg produces an energy, which corresponds to 20 times its own
weight. This means that it results in a weight of approx. 90 kg “ ”.
Luggage compartment light
The light switches on/off when the boot lid is opened or closed.
If the boot lid is open and the ignition switched off, the light will extinguish auto-
matically after around 10 minutes.
WARNING■ Store the objects in the luggage compartment 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 – danger of
death!
■
Please note that the handling properties of the vehicle may be affected
when transporting heavy objects as the centre of gravity can be displaced –
risk of accident! The speed and style of driving must be adjusted accordingly.
■
If the items of luggage or objects are attached to the lashing eyes with un-
suitable 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 which must be firmly attached to the lash-
ing eyes.
■
The items carried in the luggage compartment must be stored in such a way
that no objects are able to slip forward if any sudden driving or braking ma-
noeuvres are undertaken – risk of injury!

The engine is running.
The outside temperature above approx. +2 °C.
The blower switch is switched on (positions 1-6).
If the desired interior temperature can also be achieved without activating the cooling system, fresh air mode should be selected.
The cooling system is switched off at a high coolant temperature in order to pro-
vide cooling at a high load of the engine.
CAUTION
■ Under certain circumstances, air at a temperature of about 5 °C can flow out of
the vents when the cooling system is switched on.■
Lengthy and uneven distribution of the air flow out of the vents (especially
around the feet) and large differences in temperature, for example, when getting
out of the vehicle, can cause susceptible individuals to catch a cold.
