Windows
Windscreen
Heat-reflecting windscreen The heat-reflecting windscreen has a
coating which reflects solar radiation.
Also data signals, e.g. from toll
stations, might be reflected.
The marked areas of the windscreen
behind the interior mirror are not
covered with the coating. Devices for
electronic data recording and fee
payment must be attached in these
areas. Otherwise data recording
malfunctions may occur.
Windscreen stickers
Do not attach stickers such as toll
road stickers or similar on the
windscreen in the area of the interior
mirror. Otherwise the detection zone
of the sensor could be restricted.
Power windows9 Warning
Take care when operating the
power windows. Risk of injury,
particularly to children.
If there are children on the rear seats, switch on the child safety
system for the power windows.
Keep a close watch on the
windows when closing them.
Ensure that nothing becomes
trapped in them as they move.
Power windows can be operated:
■ with ignition on,
■ within 10 minutes of switching ignition off.

70StorageRoof rack systemRoof rack
For safety reasons and to avoid
damage to the roof, the vehicle
approved roof rack system is
recommended. For further
information contact a workshop.
Fasten the roof rack to the roof rails
following the instructions that
accompany the system, ensuring that
the roof load is evenly distributed over the side or cross rails.
Loads must not be placed on the roof surface. To prevent damage or loss,
check frequently that roof loads are
securely fastened.
Driving with a roof load affects the
vehicle centre of gravity; drive
carefully in crosswinds and do not
drive at high speeds.
Remove the roof rack when not in
use.Loading information
■ Heavy objects in the load compartment should be evenly
distributed and placed as far
forward as possible. Ensure the
backrests are securely engaged. If
objects can be stacked, the heavier
objects should be placed at the
bottom.
With rear seats in the folded
position, objects must not be
stacked higher than the seat
backrests.
■ Secure objects with lashing straps attached to lashing eyes 3 69.
■ Secure loose objects in the load compartment, e.g. with a luggage
floor net, to prevent sliding.
■ When transporting objects in the load 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 the
instrument panel, and do not cover
the sensor on top of the instrument panel.
■ The load must not obstruct the operation of the pedals, electrical
parking brake and gear selector, or hinder the freedom of movement ofthe 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
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 3 198) and the EC kerb
weight.
