Luggage Compartment, Loadspace and Storage
Cargo management systemThe cargo management system is a variable
system for securing objects in the luggage
compartment.
It is comprised of two telescopic rails integrated
in the loadspace, a telescopic bar, four tie-down
rings as well as a strap reel and a reversible mat.
The reversible mat is provided with an anti-slip
structure on the underside.
fFor information on stowing loads and luggage:
Please see the chapter “LOADING
INFORMATION” on Page 231.
Inserting and adjusting the telescopic bar1. Insert the two end elements of the telescopic
bar in the openings A of the mounting rails.
2. Press the end elements down and push against
the load. When the bar is correctly positioned,
the load should no longer be able to move.
3. Release the end elements.
4. Check that the elements are locked in position
by pushing against them.
Inserting and adjusting the strap reelThe strap reel is stored in the supplied bag
together with the tie-down rings in the luggage
compartment or in the spare-wheel well.
1. Take the strap reel out of the bag.
2. Press the button B on the end element of the
strap reel and pull both elements out to the
width of the two mounting rails.

Stowing load in the vehicle
Warning!
Danger of injury.
An unsecured or incorrectly positioned cargo
can slip out of place or endanger the vehicle
occupants during braking, direction changes
or in accidents.
Never transport objects which are not
secured.
fAlways transport cargo in the cargo area,
never in the passenger compartment (e.g. on
or in front of the seats).
fSupport the cargo on the seat backrests
whenever possible. Always lock the backrests
into place.
fPlace the cargo behind unoccupied seats
whenever possible.
fStow heavy objects as close to the front of the
cargo area as possible, with lightweight ob-
jects behind them.
fThe cargo must never project over the top
edge of the seat backrest.
fAlways protect the passenger compartment
with a luggage safety net and a luggage
compartment cover.
Do not drive with objects on top of the luggage
compartment cover.fIf the rear seats are not occupied, the back-
rests can be additionally secured with the safe-
ty belts. Simply cross the outer safety belts
and insert each into the opposite buckle.
fMake sure that the cargo cannot damage the
heating filaments of the rear window and the
TV antenna of the side window.
Luggage net
fLuggage must be stowed completely covered
by the luggage net.
The luggage net can prevent only lightweight
objects from slipping.
Tie-down belts
fDo not use elastic belts or straps to tie down
cargo.
fDo not place belts and straps over sharp
edges.
fObserve the directions for use and information
for the tie-down equipment.
fUse only belts with a tear strength of at least
1543 lbs. (700 kg) and a maximum width of
1in. (25mm).
fCross the belts over the load.Driving
fThe car's handling changes depending on the
vehicle loading. Adapt your driving style to the
changed driving behavior.
fDo not exceed the maximum gross weight and
the axle load.
fPlease see the chapter “WEIGHTS” on
Page 356.
fNever drive with the rear window or rear lid
open.
Exhaust gases can enter the passenger
compartment.
fAdapt the tire pressure to the load.
fPlease see the chapter “SETTING VEHICLE
LOADING AND ADJUSTING TIRE PRESSURE”
on Page 135.
fPlease see the chapter “TIRE PRESSURES,
COLD (68 °F/20 °C)” on Page 354.

Tr a i l e r H i t c h
Towing a trailer
Warning!
Driving with a trailer
fAlways see the permissible towing capacity,
vertical coupling load and rear-axle load.
Please see the chapter “WEIGHTS” on
Page 356.
fWhen connected, the trailer must always be
horizontal behind the towing vehicle. If neces-
sary, use a trailer with an adjustable drawbar.
fWhen the vehicle is driven in the mountains, the
engine output decreases as altitude increases.
The maximum weights stated are the values at
sea level. The total permissable weight of the
car-trailer combination must therefore be re-
duced by 10% for each increment of 3,280 ft.
(1,000 meters) altitude. A fractional increment
counts as the full 3,280 ft. (1,000 meters).
Please take this into consideration when plan-
ning your route.Distributing the load
fDistribute the load in the trailer so that heavy
objects are as close to the axle as possible.
Always safeguard all objects against slipping
and tie them down securely.
fYou should make the best possible use of the
trailer coupling's rated vertical coupling load
when loading the trailer, but never exceed it.
Tire pressure
fSelect the vehicle tire pressure for full load
when towing a trailer.
fPlease see the chapter “TIRE PRESSURES,
COLD (68 °F/20 °C)” on Page 354.
fCheck the tire pressure of the trailer's wheels
according to the manufacturer's instructions.Door mirrors
fIf the width of the trailer obstructs your view of
the traffic behind the trailer, you must have
additional door mirrors fitted.
Headlights, lights
fAlways check the headlight adjustment before
driving with a trailer.
If necessary, correct with the headlight beam
adjustment function.
fCheck whether the plug of the trailer is
plugged into the towing vehicle and whether all
lights function.

ExampleUniform Tire Quality GradingQuality grades can be found where applicable on
the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and
maximum section width.
All passenger car tires must conform to Federal
Safety Requirements in addition to these grades.Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating
based on the wear rate of the tire when tested
under controlled conditions on a specific govern-
ment test course. For example, a tire graded 150
would wear one and a half (1-1/2) times as well on
the government course as a tire graded 100. The
relative performance of tires depends upon the ac-
tual conditions of their use, however, and may de-
part significantly from the norm due to variations
in driving habits, service practices and differences
in road characteristics and climate.
Traction AA, A, B, C
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are
AA, A, B, and C and they represent the tire's ability
to stop on wet pavement as measured under con-
trolled conditions on specified government test
surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C
may have poor traction performance.
Warning!
The traction grade assigned to this is based
on braking (straight-ahead) traction tests
and does not include cornering (turned)
traction, acceleration, hydroplaning or peak
traction characteristics.Temperature A, B, C
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B and
C, representing the tire's resistance to the genera-
tion of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when
tested under controlled conditions on a specified
indoor laboratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperatures can cause the
material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire
life, and excessive temperature can lead to
sudden tire failure.
The grade C corresponds to a level of
performance which all passenger car tires must
meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard No. 109.
Grades B and A represent higher levels of
performance on the laboratory test wheel than the
minimum required by law.
Warning!
The temperature grade for this tire is estab-
lished for a tire that is properly inflated and
not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinfla-
tion, or excessive loading, either separately
or in combination, can cause heat buildup
and possible tire failure, resulting loss of
control, leading to serious personal injury or
death.

the tire sidewall.
fPlease note that in addition to the winter tires,
all-season and all-terrain tires are also subject
to speed limits and bear this identification.
