Internet radio
General notes
A good Internet connection is required to
transmit audio data efficiently. To ensure the
best-possible reception, your mobile phone
should be connected to the vehicle's exterior
antenna via the phone bracket (optional).
Bear in mind that a relatively large volume of data can be transmitted when using the Inter-
net radio. An average 128 kbit per second
data transfer rate can transfer 56 MB of data
in one hour.
The data transfer rate of a station is displayed while receiving data.

Useful information
iThis Operator's Manual describes all
models and all standard and optional equip- ment of your vehicle available at the time of
publication of the Operator's Manual.
Country-specific differences are possible.
Please note that your vehicle may not be
equipped with all features described. This
also applies to safety-related systems and
functions.
iRead the information on qualified special-
ist workshops: ( Ypage 28).
Loading guidelines
GWARNING
If objects, luggage or loads are not secured or
not secured sufficiently, they could slip, tip
over or be flung around and thereby hit vehicle
occupants. There is a risk of injury, particu-
larly in the event of sudden braking or a sud-
den change in direction.
Always store objects so that they cannot be
flung around. Secure objects, luggage or
loads against slipping or tipping before the
journey.
GWARNING
If you distribute the load unevenly in the vehi- cle, the handling as well as the steering and
braking characteristics are severely affected.
There is a risk of an accident.
Distribute the load evenly in the vehicle.
Secure the load to prevent it from slipping.
GWARNING
The exhaust tail pipe and tail pipe trim can
become very hot. If you come into contact
with these parts of the vehicle, you could burn
yourself. There is a risk of injury.
Always be particularly careful around the
exhaust tail pipe and the tail pipe trim. Allow
these components to cool down before touch-
ing them.
GWARNING
Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust
gases such as carbon monoxide. If the tail-
gate/rear door is open when the engine is
running, particularly if the vehicle is moving,
exhaust fumes could enter the passenger
compartment. There is a risk of poisoning.
Turn off the engine before opening the tail-
gate/rear door. Never drive off with the tail-
gate/rear door open.
Driving, braking and steering characteristics
change depending on:
R type of load
R weight
R the center of gravity of the load
You should therefore load your vehicle as
shown in the illustrations.
The gross vehicle weight (GVW) is the vehicle
weight including fuel, vehicle tool kit, spare
wheel, accessories installed, vehicle occu-
pants and luggage/load.
Do not exceed the load limit or permitted
gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) for your
vehicle. The gross load limit and the GVWR
are specified on the vehicle identification
plate on the B-pillar of the driver's door( Y page 258).
The load must also be distributed so that the weight on each axle never exceeds the grossaxle weight rating (GAWR) for the front and
rear axles. The specifications for GVWR and
GAWR are on the vehicle identification plate
on the B-pillar of the driver's door( Y page 258).
192Loading guidelines
Stowage and features

Do not tamper with or repair cargo tie-down
points, cargo tie-down rings or tie downs.
Have maintenance work as well as modifica-
tions, installations and conversions carried
out at a qualified specialist workshop(Y page 28).
Observe the following notes on securing
loads:
R Secure the load using the cargo tie-down
rings.
R Do not use elastic straps or nets to secure
a load, as these are only intended as an
anti-slip protection for light loads.
R Do not route tie-downs across sharp edges
or corners.
R Pad sharp edges for protection.
R Only use tie downs that have been checked
in accordance with applicable standards,
e.g. lashing nets or lashing straps.
R Fill the spaces between the load and the
cargo compartment walls and the wheel
housing in a form-locking way. Only use
dimensionally stable transportation aids
for this, such as chocks, wooden fixings or
padding.
Cargo tie-down rings in the cargo com-
partment
There are four cargo tie-down rings :in the
cargo compartment mounted at the sides.
Cargo compartment cover
Important safety notes
GWARNING
On its own, the cargo compartment cover
cannot secure or restrain heavy objects,
items of luggage and heavy loads. You could
be hit by an unsecured load during sudden
changes in direction, braking or in the event of an accident. There is an increased risk of
injury or even fatal injury.
Always store objects so that they cannot be
flung around. Secure objects, luggage or
loads against slipping or tipping over, e.g. by
using tie downs, even if you are using the
cargo compartment cover.
!When loading the vehicle, make sure that
you do not stack the load in the cargo com-
partment higher than the lower edge of the side windows. Do not place heavy objects
on top of the cargo compartment cover.
The cargo compartment cover is located
behind the rear bench seat backrest.
Opening and closing the cargo compart-
ment cover
X To open: pull cargo compartment cover :
back and clip it into the retainers on the left and right of the rear door.
X To close: unclip cargo compartment
cover :and guide it forwards until it is
completely rolled up.

Emergency call
Important safety notes
GWARNING
If the indicator lamp in the SOS button is
flashing continuously and there was no voice
connection to the Response Center estab-
