Notes on loading the vehicle zHeavy objects in the luggage
compartment should be placed as far
forward as possible against the rear seat
backrests or, if the rear seat backrests
are folded down, against the front seat
backrests. If objects are to be stacked,
the heavier objects should be placed at
the bottom.
zSecure heavy objects with lashing
straps3 attached to lashing eyes 3
344.
zWhen transporting objects with the
backrests folded down, install the safety
net 3 345.
zClose the luggage compartment
cover3. zIf the seat backrests are not folded down
when transporting objects in the
luggage compartment, the backrests
must be fully upright and engaged in
position 342.
zDo not allow the load to protrude above
the upper edge of the backrests.
zThe warning triangle 3 and first-aid kit
(cushion) 3 must always be freely
accessible.
zDo not place any objects in front of the
rear window or on the instrument panel.
zNo objects must be placed in the area in
which the airbags inflate, as they could
cause injury when the systems are
deployed.
zThe load must not obstruct the operation
of the pedals, handbrake and gear
selector, or hinder the freedom of
movement of the driver. Do not place
any unsecured objects in the interior.
zDo not drive with luggage compartment
open when transporting bulky objects,
for example, since toxic exhaust fumes
could penetrate the interior.
zThe payload is the difference between
the permitted gross vehicle weight
(identification plate 3182) and the EC
kerb weight.
zTo calculate the EC kerb weight, enter
the data for your vehicle on page 189. zThe EC kerb weight includes allowances
for the driver (68 kg), luggage (7 kg) and
all fluids (tank 90 % full).
zOptional equipment and accessories
increase the kerb weight.
zWeights and payload 3189.
zDriving 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
to the load conditions. Do not drive
faster than 120 km/h. Check and
retighten the straps frequently. Observe
country-specific regulations.
zThe permissible roof load is 100 kg. The
roof load consists of the weight of the
roof rack plus the load carried.
zIf objects are transported in the load
compartment, the split load
compartment grille
3 must always be
locked in one of the retainers and the
lever must be engaged at its bottom
position 346.
zWhen stowing objects in the stowage
compartment above the front seats,
secure against falling out.

Adjustable wiper interval
To set the wiper interval to a value between
2 and 15 seconds:
Lever to interval operation $, lever to §,
wait for required interval delay, Level to
interval operation again $.
The selected interval will remain stored
until the next time it is changed or until the
ignition is switched off.
After switching on the ignition and moving
the lever up, $ the interval is set to
7seconds.

Air vents At least one air vent must be open while
cooling 3 (air conditioning compressor) is
on in order to prevent the evaporator from
icing up due to lack of air movement.
Comfortable ventilation of the interior is
based on the position of the temperature
switch.
To increase the air supply, set the fan to a
higher speed and set the air distribution
switch to M or L.

Centre and side (1) air vents
The air flow can be directed as desired by
tilting and swivelling the slats.
Temperature switch in centre area: Air
from the centre vents is cooler than the air
from the side air vents.
To close the vents, push the slider towards
the centre of the vehicle.
Windscreen defroster nozzles (2)
Air distribution switch set to V or J: Air is
directed onto the windscreen and the door
windows. Additional vents
Located in front of the windscreen, in front
of the door mirrors and in the front foot
wells.

Heating and ventilation systemTemperature
Adjusted using left-hand rotary switch.
The amount of heat is dependent on the
coolant temperature and is thus not fully
attained until the engine is warm.

Air flow
Adjusted using centre rotary switch.
The rate of air flow is determined by the
fan. The fan should therefore also be
switched on during a journey.

temperatures:zTurn the temperature switch clockwise as
far as it will go (warm).

Air conditioning system
3
In addition to the effects of the heating
and ventilation system, the air conditioning
system cools and dehumidified (dries) the
inflowing air.
If no cooling or dehumidification is
required, switch off cooling to save fuel.
Cooling switches off automatically at low
outside temperatures.
9 Warning
Failure to follow the description could
lead to misting or icing of the windows,
which in turn could lead an accident
stemming from lack of visibility.

Cooling n
Only operate with the engine and fan
running. Activate and deactivate with
then button.
When cooling (air-conditioning
compressor) is on, the air is cooled and
dried. If no cooling or drying is required,
switch off cooling to save fuel.
Cooling switches off automatically at low
outside temperatures.
When cooling operates, condensation
forms and drips from the underside of the
vehicle.

Air recirculation system 4
The air recirculation mode of the
ventilation system is activated and
deactivated by pressing the 4 button.
If fumes or unpleasant odours penetrate
from outside: temporarily switch on air
recirculation system 4.
To increase cooling at high outside
temperatures, switch on the air
recirculation system briefly.Air distribution to V: the air recirculation
system is automatically switched off to
speed up window demisting and prevent
fogging.
9 Warning
The air recirculation system minimises
the entry of outside air. The humidity
increases, and the windows can mist up.
The quality of the passenger
compartment air deteriorates which
may cause vehicle occupants to feel
drowsy.

Air intake The air intakes in front of the windscreen on
the far left and right-hand sides of the
engine compartment must be kept free of
leaves, dirt and snow so as not to obstruct
the air supply. Air outletDo not cover the air outlets when stowing
objects in the luggage compartment. Pollen filter The pollen filter cleans dust, soot, pollen
and spores from the air entering from
outside. The active carbon layer 3
eliminates most odours and noxious
environmental gases from the air.
Regular operationTo make sure that the AC compressor
is constantly working well, the cooling
system3 must be switched on several
minutes once a month regardless of the
weather or season. It is not possible to
activate cooling when outside
temperatures are low. Service For optimal cooling performance, we
recommend that the climate control
system be checked annually, starting
three years after initial vehicle registration.
