Windows
Windscreen
Heat-reflecting windscreen
The heat-reflecting windscreen has a
coating which reflects solar radiation. Also data signals, e.g. from toll
stations, might be reflected.
The marked areas on the windscreen are not covered with the coating.
Devices for electronic data recording
and fee payment must be attached in
these areas. Otherwise data
recording malfunctions may occur.
Windscreen stickers
Do not attach stickers such as toll
road stickers or similar on the
windscreen in the area of the interior
mirror. Otherwise the detection zone
of the sensor and the view area of the camera in the mirror housing could be restricted.
Manual windows The door windows can be opened or
closed with the window winders.
Power windows9 Warning
Take care when operating the
power windows. Risk of injury,
particularly to children.
If there are children on the rear seats, switch on the child safety
system for the power windows.

80Storage
■ Use the hook at the left sidewall ofthe load compartment for hanging
up carrier bags. Pull out the hook.
Maximum load: 3 kg.
■ Secure loose objects in the load compartment to prevent them from
sliding.
■ When transporting objects in the load compartment, the backrests of
the rear seats must not be angled
forward.
■ Do not allow the load to protrude above the upper edge of the
backrests.
■ Do not place any objects on the load compartment cover or the
instrument panel, and do not cover
the sensor on top of the instrument panel.
■ The load must not obstruct the operation of the pedals, parking
brake and gear selector, or hinder
the freedom of movement of the
driver. Do not place any unsecured objects in the interior.
■ Do not drive with an open load compartment.9 Warning
Always make sure that the load in
the vehicle is securely stowed.
Otherwise objects can be thrown
around inside the vehicle and
cause personal injury or damage
to the load or vehicle.
■ The payload is the difference between the permitted gross
vehicle weight (see identification
plate 3 220) and the EC kerb
weight.
To calculate the payload, enter the
data for your vehicle in the Weights
table at the front of this manual.
The EC kerb weight includes
weights for the driver (68 kg),
luggage (7 kg) and all fluids (tank
90 % full).
Optional equipment and
accessories increase the kerb
weight.
■ Driving with a roof load increases the sensitivity of the vehicle to
cross-winds and has a detrimental
effect on vehicle handling due to
the vehicle's higher centre of
gravity. Distribute the load evenly
and secure it properly with retaining
straps. Adjust the tyre pressure and vehicle speed according to the load
conditions. Check and retighten the straps frequently.
Do not drive faster than 75 mph.
The permissible roof load is 60 kg. The roof load is the combined
weight of the roof rack and the load.
