60Storage
Align the bicycle in the longitudinal
direction of the vehicle: Slightly
loosen the pedal mount.
Place the bicycle upright using the
rotary lever on the pedal crank
recess.
If the two bicycles obstruct one
another, the relative positions of the
bicycles can be adapted by adjusting
the wheel recesses and the rotary
lever on the pedal crank recess until
the bicycles no longer touch one
another. Make sure there is sufficient
clearance from the vehicle.Tighten the attachment screw for the
pedal bearing mount to its maximum
point by hand.
Secure both bicycle wheels to wheel
recesses using strap retainers.
Check the bicycle to make sure it is
secure.
Caution
Ensure gap between bicycle and
vehicle is at least 5 cm. If
necessary, loosen handlebar and swivel sideways.
The settings for the wheel recesses
and on the rotary lever on the pedal
crank recess should be noted and saved for each bicycle. Correct
presetting will facilitate refitting of the
bicycle.
Notice
It is recommended to attach a
warning sign at the rearmost bicycle to increase visibility.
Removing a bicycle from the rear carrier system
Undo strap retainers on both bicycle
tyres.

64Storage
Move rear seat backrests upright and
allow locking mechanisms to engage
audibly at both sides. Once the
backrests are locked the red mark
must no longer protrude.
The rear seat backrests can be
locked in two positions.
Do not trap the seat belt when moving the backrest to the upright position.
Install the load compartment cover.
9 Warning
Only drive the vehicle when the
backrests are securely locked into position. Otherwise there is a risk
of personal injury or damage to the
load or vehicle in the event of hard braking or a collision.
The seat belt of the centre seat could
be blocked when the backrest is
folded up too quickly. To unlock the
retractor, push in the seat belt or pull
it out by approx. 20 mm and then let
go.
Load compartment cover
Do not place any objects on the cover.
5-door passenger vehicle
Lift the cover backwards, until it
unlatches, then remove.
Fit in reverse order.

66StorageRear floor storage cover
The double load-bay floor can be
inserted in the load compartment in
two positions:
■ directly beneath the cover for the spare wheel recess or the floor
cover,
■ or in the upper openings in the load
compartment.
To remove, lift the load-bay floor
using the lever and pull backwards.
To insert, push the load-bay floor
forwards in the corresponding guide,
then lower.
If mounted in the upper position, the
space between the load-bay floor and
the spare wheel well cover can be
used as a stowage compartment.
In this position, if the rear seat
backrests are folded forwards, an
almost completely flat load bay is
created.
The double load-bay floor is able to
withstand a load of no more than
100 kg.
In models with a tyre repair kit, the spare wheel recess may be used asan additional stowage compartment.
Lashing eyes
The lashing eyes are designed to
secure items against slippage, e.g.
using lashing straps or luggage net.

68Storage
Fitting on model with sunroofDisengage covers concealing roof
rack mounts by pushing sliders in
direction of arrow (e.g. with a coin)
and remove upwards. To close roof
rack mounts, first insert covers at
front and engage sliders at rear.
Attach roof rack at appropriate points, see supplied roof rack system
instructions.Loading information
■ Heavy objects in the load compartment should be placedagainst the seat backrests. Ensure
the backrests are securely
engaged. If objects can be stacked, the heavier objects should be
placed at the bottom.
■ Secure objects with lashing straps attached to lashing eyes.
■ Secure loose objects in load compartment to prevent sliding.
■ When transporting objects in theload 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 theinstrument 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

Storage69
around inside the vehicle and
cause personal injury or damage
to the load or car.
■ The payload is the difference between the permitted gross
vehicle weight (see identification
plate 3 197) and the EC kerb
weight.
To calculate the payload weight,
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 75 kg. The roof load is the combined
weight of the roof rack and the load.

Driving and operating125
Always move the selector lever in the
appropriate direction as far as it will
go. Upon release, it automatically
returns to the centre position.N=Neutral position.A=Switch between automatic and
manual mode. The
transmission display shows A
or M.R=Reverse gear. Engage only
when vehicle is stationary.+=Shift to a higher gear.-=Shift to a lower gear.
Starting off
Depress the foot brake and move the
selector lever to A, + or -. The
transmission is in automatic mode
and first gear is engaged. If R is
selected, reverse gear is engaged.
The vehicle starts to move when the
brake is released.
To start off without depressing the
foot brake, accelerate immediately
after engaging a gear.
If neither the accelerator nor the
brake pedal are depressed, no gear
is engaged and A or R flashes for a
brief time in the display.
Stopping the vehicle In A, first gear is engaged and the
clutch is released when the vehicle is
stopped. In R, reverse gear remains
engaged.
Engine braking
Automatic mode
When driving downhill, the manual
transmission automated does not
shift into higher gears until a fairly
high engine speed has been reached. It shifts down in good time when
braking.
Manual mode
To utilise the engine braking effect,
select a lower gear in good time when
driving downhill.Rocking the vehicle
Rocking the vehicle is only
permissible if the vehicle is stuck in
sand, mud or snow. Move the selector
lever between R and A (or + or -) in a
repeat pattern. Do not race the engine and avoid sudden acceleration.
Parking
Apply the parking brake. The most recently engaged gear (see
transmission display) remains
engaged. With N, no gear is engaged.
When the ignition is switched off the
transmission no longer responds to
movement of the selector lever.
Manual mode
If a higher gear is selected when the
engine speed is too low, or a lower
gear when the speed is too high, the
shift is not executed. This prevents
the engine from running at too low or
too high an engine speed.
If engine speed is too low, the
transmission automatically shifts to a
lower gear.

142Driving and operating
If the permitted rear axle load is
exceeded a maximum speed of
60 mph applies. If lower national
maximum speeds are specified for
trailer operation, they must be
complied with.
Towing equipmentCaution
When operating without a trailer,
remove the coupling ball bar.
Stowage of coupling ball bar
The coupling ball bar is stowed in a
bag in the spare wheel well and
secured to the lashing eyes in the
load compartment.
When inserting, fit protective cap over
rotary knob with key.
Fitting the coupling ball bar
Push both bolts inwards and remove
the cover on the bumper.
Disengage and fold down the socket. Remove the sealing plug from the
opening for the coupling ball bar and
stow it.

Vehicle care1479Danger

voltage. Do not touch.
The caps for topping up the engine oil, the coolant, the washer fluid and the
oil dipstick handle are yellow, for ease
of identification.
