Vehicle equipment
WARNING
Loose objects or devices connected by a cable
to the vehicle, for example mobile telephones,
may be thrown around the interior during the
journey, for example in the event of an accident
or when braking or carrying out an evasive ma‐
noeuvre. There is a risk of injury. Ensure that
loose objects or devices connected by cable to
the vehicle are secured in place in the interior.
This chapter describes all standard, country-spe‐
cific and optional equipment available for the
model series. It may therefore describe equip‐
ment and functions which are not installed in
your vehicle, for example on account of the spe‐
cial equipment selected or the country specifica‐
tion. This also applies to safety-relevant func‐
tions and systems. Please comply with the
relevant laws and regulations when using the
corresponding functions and systems.
WARNING
Incorrectly stowed objects may slip or be
thrown into the interior, for example in the
event of an accident or when braking or carry‐
ing out an evasive manoeuvre. Vehicle occu‐
pants could be struck and injured. There is a
risk of injury. Stow and secure objects and the
load correctly.
Loads
Safety notes
WARNING
A high gross vehicle weight can make the tyres
overheat, causing internal damage and a sud‐
den loss of tyre inflation pressure. Handling
characteristics may be adversely affected, for
example reduced directional stability, longer
stopping distance and altered steering charac‐
teristics. There is a risk of accident. Please
comply with the permitted load index of the
tyre, and do not exceed the permitted gross ve‐
hicle weight.
NOTE
Liquids in the luggage compartment may cause
damage. There is a risk of material damage.
Ensure that no liquids leak out into the luggage
compartment.
Stowing and securing loads in
the vehicle
▷ Wrap protective material around any sharp
corners and edges on the load.
WARNING
If the permitted total weight and the permitted
axle loads are exceeded, the operational safety
of the vehicle is no longer guaranteed. There is
a risk of accident. Do not exceed the permitted
total weight and permitted axle loads.
▷ Heavy loads: stow as far forward and as low
down as possible, ideally directly behind the
rear backrests.
▷ Very heavy loads: stow as far forward as pos‐
sible, low down and directly behind the rear
seat backrests. If there are no passengers on

tect the vehicle's occupants. Make sure that
objects cannot penetrate the luggage net.
▷ Small and lightweight loads: secure with re‐
taining straps, a luggage net or other suitable
straps.
▷ Large and heavy loads: secure with lashing
straps.

Safety note
General
Load-securing equipment, for example lashing
straps, tensioning straps or luggage nets, must
be secured to the lashing eyes in the boot.
WARNING
Incorrect use of the bag holders can present a
danger, for example if objects are flung around
in the event of braking and evasive manoeu‐
vres. There is a risk of injury and material dam‐
age. Only hang light objects, for example shop‐
ping bags, on the bag holders. Only transport
heavy luggage in the luggage compartment if
suitably secured.

WARNING
If the seat is not adjusted properly or the child
seat has been installed incorrectly, the child re‐
straint system may have limited stability or may
not be stable at all. There is a risk of injury or
even death. Make sure that the child restraint
system rests firmly against the backrest. Wher‐
ever possible, adapt the backrest angle of all
the relevant seat backrests and adjust the seats
correctly. Make sure that the seats and their
backrests are correctly engaged or locked. If
possible, adjust the height of the head re‐
straints, or remove them.
