WARNING
Never drive with iced up or fogged
windows. Visibility will be significantly
impaired. Impaired visibility could
endanger yourself and others. This may
prevent you from observing the traffic
conditions, thereby causing an accident.
The best defrosting of windows is achieved
if the ice is completely removed from the
windows manually with an ice scraper
before driving off.
Also use the "Air conditioning before
start" function (Y page 86).

The rear window defroster serves to de-ice
the rear window quickly and clear the view
if the rear window is fogged.
The rear window defroster uses a large
amount of power. To keep battery drain to a
minimum, switch off the rear window
defroster as soon as the rear window is
clear. The rear window defroster is
automatically deactivated after
approximately 10 minutes of operation. X

air in the passenger compartment.
G
WARNING
When the air recirculation mode is
switched on, windows can fog on the inside
immediately. Fogged windows impair
visibility, endangering you and others. If
the windows begin to fog on the inside,
switching off the air recirculation mode
immediately should clear interior window

WARNING
Transport heavy or hard objects in the
cargo compartment, not in the passenger
compartment.
Always fasten items being carried as
securely as possible using fastening
materials appropriate for the weight and
size of the load.
In an accident, during hard braking or
sudden maneuvers, loose items may be
thrown around inside the vehicle, causing
injury to vehicle occupants. G

G
WARNING
Do not store any flammable substances
inside the vehicle that could ignite and
start a fire. G
WARNING
The manufacturer has not approved your
vehicle for towing a trailer. A trailer can
permanently impair driving safety.
The gross vehicle weight which is the
weight of the vehicle including tools,
installed accessories, passengers, and
luggage/cargo must never exceed the load
limit and the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR) for your vehicle as specified on the
placard located on the driver’s door
B‑pillar (Y page 208). In addition, the
load must be distributed in such a way so
that the weight on each axle never exceeds
the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for the
front and rear axle. The GVWR and GAWR for
your vehicle are indicated on the
certification label which can be found on
the driver’s door B‑pillar.
For more information, see “Loading the
vehicle” (Y page 127).
The handling characteristics of a fully
loaded vehicle depend greatly on the load
distribution. It is therefore recommended
to load the vehicle with the heaviest items
being placed towards the front of the
vehicle.
Please pay attention to and comply with the
following instructions when loading the
vehicle and transporting cargo:
R Always place items being carried
against seat backrests, and fasten them
as securely as possible.
R The heaviest portio nofthe cargo should
always be kept as low as possible against
seat backrests.
R Do not stack loads higher than the top
edge of the head restraints.
R Make sure no luggage/cargo items can get
above or next to the driver’s and/or passenger seat into the passenger
compartment.
R Make sure luggage/cargo is properly
secured.
R Always use, if so equipped, cargo net*
when transporting cargo.
Do not carry any unnecessary weight in the
vehicle. This increases vehicle weight,
which results in increased energy
consumption. Useful features

High-voltage battery
Introduction
The components of the drive system are
indicated by yellow warning labels to make
you aware of high voltage.
High‑voltage cablesa
re orange‑colored.G
WARNING
The drive system is subject to high
voltages.
You may be seriously or even fatally injured
if you:
R tamper with components or high-voltage
cables in the drive system
R touch components or high-voltage cables
in the drive system on avehicle which has
been involved in an accident
R touch damaged drive system components
Do not remove any drive system component
covers which are marked with a warning
sticker. Do not tamper with components or
orange high-voltage drive system cables. G
WARNING
The high‑voltage battery of the drive
system is located under the vehicle’s
underbody. When the pressure inside the
high‑voltage battery exceeds a certain
value, for example in case of avehicle fire,
inflammable gas will escape via a duct. The
inflammable gas escapes to an area under
the vehicle. This prevents the high‑voltage
battery from exploding.
Stay away from this area of the vehicle. The drive system is powered by a
high‑voltage battery. The high‑voltage
battery stores and releases the energy
required for operation of the electric
motor.
The electric motor uses the energy that is
stored in the high‑voltage battery when
driving off and when accelerating.
When rolling, kinetic energy is converted
into electrical energy by energy recovery
and stored in the high‑voltage battery.
The range of the vehicle is reduced when
consumers are switched on, e.g. climate
control.
The high‑voltage battery can be charged in
a voltage range from 100 V to 240 V.
The high‑voltage battery can be charged
R through energy recovery while the
vehicle is rolling or when braking
R Level 1 charging - 110 V / 120 V -
A travel cord will be supplied with the
vehicle. This charging cable can be
plugged into commonly available
110 V / 120 V, 15 A power sources. This
charging method will take longer to
charge your vehicle than adedicated
level 2 charging source. Therefore it is
not recommended as the primary method
of charging.
R Level 2 charging - 220 V / 240 V -
For the fastest possible charging time, a
dedicated 220 V /240 V, 20 A circuit is
required. Local electrical code can vary
from town to town. Therefore, it is highly
recommended that this service is
professionally installed. This service
should be installed in a dry area with
easy access to the passenger side of the
vehicle. You will need to obtain avehicle
charge connector that can be wired
directly to or plugged into the dedicated
220 V / 240 V service. Charge connectors
will be available for purchase through
your authorized electric drive smart
center.
