Warning
Improperly stowed objects can slip and be
thrown into the car's interior, for instance in
the event of an accident, braking or an eva-
sive maneuver. Vehicle occupants can be hit
and injured. There is a risk of injury and risk
of property damage. Stow and secure objects
and cargo properly.
This chapter describes model-specific equip-
ment, systems, and functions that are currently
available, or may become available in the fu-
ture, even if they are not present in the vehicle.

NOTICE
Fluids in the cargo area can cause damage.
There is a risk of property damage. Make
sure that no fluids leak in the cargo area.
Safety information
Warning
High gross vehicle weight can overheat the
tires, damage them internally and cause
a sudden tire pressure loss. Driving char-
acteristics may be negatively impacted, re-
ducing directional stability, lengthening the
braking distances and changing the steering
response. There is a risk of accident, injury,
and property damage. Pay attention to the
permitted load-carrying capacity of the tires
and never exceed the permitted gross vehicle
weight.
Steps for determining correct load
limit
1. Locate the statement “The combined
weight of occupants and cargo should
never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs” on the
vehicle’s placard.
2. Determine the combined weight of the
driver and passengers that will be riding in
the vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver
and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs.
4. The resulting figure equals the available
amount of cargo and luggage load ca-
pacity. For example, if the “XXX” amount
equals 1,400 lbs and there will be five
150 lbs passengers in the vehicle, the
amount of available cargo and luggage
load capacity is 650 lbs (1,400 - 750 (5 x
150) = 650 lbs).
Warning
When driving, loose items or devices con-
nected to the vehicle with a cable, i.e., mobile
phones, may be thrown around the vehicle,
e.g., in the event of an accident or when brak-
ing or performing evasive maneuvers. There
is a risk of injury and risk of property damage.
Secure loose objects or devices that are con-
nected to the vehicle via a cable.
5. Determine the combined weight of luggage
and cargo being loaded on the vehicle.
That weight may not safely exceed the

Lashing eyes in the cargo
area
6. If the vehicle will be towing a trailer, load
from your trailer will be transferred to the
vehicle. Consult this manual to determine
how this reduces the available cargo and
luggage load capacity of the vehicle.
General information
Attach auxiliary materials to secure the cargo
such as lashing straps, tensioning straps, draw
straps, or cargo nets to the lashing eyes.
Payload
Overview
The maximum payload is the sum of the
weight of the occupants and the cargo.
The lashing eyes are located on the loading sill
and on the side walls of the cargo area.
The greater the weight of the occupants, the
less cargo that can be transported.

Warning
Improper use of the multifunction hooks can
lead to a risk of objects flying about, e.g., dur-
ing braking and evasive maneuvers. There is
a risk of injury and risk of property damage.
Only hang lightweight objects from the multi-
function hooks. Heavy luggage in the cargo
area must be properly secured.
Heavy cargo: stow as far forward as possi-
ble, directly behind and at the bottom of the
rear seat backrests.

Very heavy cargo: stow as far forward as
possible, directly behind and at the bottom
of the rear seat backrests. When the rear
