12 volt socket in luggage compartment
97
230-volt socket in the rear centre console
97WARNING■ Do not place anything on the dashboard. These objects might slide or fall
down when driving and may distract you from concentrating on the traffic –
risk of accident!■
Make sure that while driving no objects can enter the driver's footwell -
cause an accident!
■
Safely stow all devices during the journey to prevent them from being
thrown around the interior in the event of a sudden braking manoeuvre or
an accident – risk of death!
■
The devices may warm up during operation – risk of injury or fire!
■
Improper use of the power sockets and the electrical accessories can
cause fires, burns and other serious injuries.
■
The 12-Volt sockets also work if the ignition is switched off. When leaving
the vehicle, never leave persons who are not completely independent, such
as children, unattended in the vehicle.
CAUTION
When using the 12 volt power outlets the following notes are to be observed.■The sockets can only be used for the connection of approved electrical ac-
cessories with a total power consumption of up to 120 watts, otherwise the
electrical system of the vehicle may be damaged.■
Connecting appliances when the engine is not running will drain the battery
of the vehicle!
■
Before switching the ignition on / off or before starting the engine, switch
off the devices which are connected to the sockets - there is a risk of damage
to the equipment due to voltage fluctuations.

Open the cover of the 230 volt outlet / 230 volt outlet
Read and observe
and on page 96 first.
The 230-volt socket has a child safety lock. When inserting the plug, the fuse
is released, the socket is activated and the warning light above the socket is
illuminates green (if this flashes red, then the socket is deactivated).
The socket works with the engine running (in STOP mode in vehicles with the
START-STOP system) and for about 10 minutes after the engine is switched
off, provided an appliance was still connected prior to switching off the engine
(the warning light flashes green)).
›
To use , fold up the cover of the socket in the direction of arrow » Fig. 112 and
plug the electrical appliance plug into the socket.
An automatic deactivation of the socket can take place, for example, for the
following reasons. ▶ Excessive current.
▶ Low state of charge of the battery.
▶ High outlet temperature.
If disabling reasons no longer exist, the automatic activation of the socket can
be done.
Should no automatic activation of the socket take place, the connected devi-
ces must be disconnected from the power outlet and reconnect after a short
time. 
97Practical features

WARNING■Make sure that no liquid or moisture enters into the socket - it can be fa-
tal! If fluid does manage to get into the power socket, completely dry out
the socket before reuse.■
The child lock on the power socket is unlocked when using adapters and
extension cables which carry volts – risk of injury!
■
Do no insert any objects (e.g. knitting needles) into the contacts of the
power socket – risk of death!
CAUTION
■ The power socket can only be used for connecting approved electrical acces-
sories with a two-pin 230V plug, with a total power uptake of up to 150 watt.■
The plug of the electrical appliance must be plugged in up to the stop, other-
wise the child safety lock can be unlocked and the socket may be activated but
the electric appliance is still not receiving power.
■
Do not connect bulbs with neon tubes in the socket - there is a risk of dam-
aging the lamp.
■
For appliances with an independent power source (e.g. such as notebooks),
first connect the power source itself and only after that connect the appliance.

When transporting heavy objects, the driving characteristics change due to the
shift in centre-of-gravity. The speed and style of driving must be adjusted ac-
cordingly.
When transporting cargo the following the instructions must be adhered to
▶ Distribute the load evenly in the luggage compartment and secure it with
suitable lashing straps to the lashing eyes or securing nets so that they can-
not slip.
▶ Place heavy objects as far forward as possible.
▶ Tyre pressure is to match the load.
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.
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
automatically after around 10 minutes.WARNING■ Never exceed the maximum permissible load of the respective fasteners,
nets, hooks etc. Heavy objects were not secured sufficiently – risk of injury!■
Do not exceed the permissible axle loads and permissible gross weight of
the vehicle – risk of accident!
■
An unfixed or improperly fixed load can slip during a sudden manoeuvre
or an accident - danger of injury!
■
Loose cargo could hit a deployed airbag and injure occupants – danger of
death!
■
When transporting loads 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 .
CAUTION
■ Never exceed the maximum permissible load of the respective fasteners,
nets, hooks etc. - these could be damaged.■
Make sure that the heating elements of the rear window heater, the ele-
ments of the integrated aerial in the rear window or in the rear side windows
are not damaged by abrasive items.
■
Do not place sharp objects in the nets and storage compartments in the lug-
gage compartment - there is a risk of damage to the net as well as the com-
partments.
■
Put the items in the storage compartments carefully and not load these
punctiform - there is a risk of damage to the compartments.

Transportation on the roof rack
Fig. 146
Attachment points
The attachment points
A
and
B
are located on both sides of the vehicle
» Fig. 146 .
The mounting and dismounting of the basic carrier is carried out according to
the instructions provided.
Roof load
The maximum permitted weight of the load incl. the carrier is 100 kg.
WARNINGFor road safety when transporting cargo on the roof rack, observe the fol-
lowing instructions.■
Always distribute the load on the roof rack evenly and secure properly us-
ing suitable lashing straps or tensioning straps.
■
When transporting heavy objects or objects which take up a large area on
the roof rack system, the handling of the car may change as a result of the
displacement of the centre of gravity. The style of driving and speed must
therefore be adapted to the current circumstances.
■
The permissible roof load, permissible axle loads and permissible total ve-
hicle weight must not be exceeded under any circumstances – risk of acci-
dent!
CAUTION
■ Make sure that the sliding / tilting roof or the boot lid does not collide with
the roof load when opened.■
Ensure the roof aerial is not impaired by the load being transported. 
112Using the system

WARNING■The blower should always be on to prevent the windows from misting.
Otherwise there could be an accident.■
Under certain circumstances, air at a temperature of about 5 °C can flow
out of the vents when the cooling system is switched on.
Note
■ The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free of e.g. ice, snow or
leaves to ensure that the heating and cooling system operates properly.■
After switching on the cooling 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.
