-Always ensure that no one is within range of
the rear lid when it is moving, in particular
close to the hinges and the upper and lower
edges - fingers or hands can be pinched.
- To help prevent poisonous exhaust gas from
being drawn into the veh icle, always keep
the rear lid closed while driving . Never
transport objects larger than those which fit
completely into the luggage area, because
then the rear lid cannot be fully closed.
- Never leave your vehicle unattended espe­ cially w ith the rea r lid left open . A chi ld
cou ld crawl into t he car thro ugh the luggage
compartmen t and pull the lid shut, becom­
ing trapped and unable to get out. To re ­
duce the risk of persona l injury, never let
children p lay in or around your veh icle. Al­
ways keep the rear lid as well as the vehicle
doors closed when not in use.
- If there is a l uggage rack or bicycle rack
mounted on the rear lid, it may not be able
to open completely or an opened rear lid may close by itself because of the added
we ight. So the open rear lid must be sup­
ported or the weight must be removed from
the luggage rack first.
(O} Tips
- As soon as the electrical connection to the
trailer socket is completed on vehicles with
a factory installed tow ing hitch, or a t railer
hitch that was instal led later ac co rding to
factory specifications, the a utomat ic rear lid
funct ion can only be ope rated via the handle
in the rear lid.
- If the vehicle battery charge drops below a ce rtain level, you can still open or close the
rear lid manually, however, you will need to
apply more force to close it .
- If the rear lid on a locked vehicle is unlocked
with the middle button
,c:$ on the remote
key, the rear lid is automatically locked
again immediately after closing. This is ind i­
cated by the turn signals bli nking .
- The following applies to veh icles equipped
with the Convenience key* feature: if the re­ mote control key is left in the luggage com ­
partment, luggage compartment w ill auto-

Roof load
The cargo on the roof must be securely attached.
Handling characteristics change when cargo is
transported .
The permissible roof load for your vehicle is
1 65 lbs (75 kg ). The roof load is the total of the
weight of the roof rack, the attachments and the
cargo you are carrying .
_&. WARNING
-The cargo must be secu rely attached on the
roof rack, otherwise you risk an accide nt.
- Distribute the load as evenly as possible and
do not make the roof rack wider than the
maximum pe rmitted.
- You m ust under no circumstances exceed
the permiss ible roof load, the perm iss ible
axle loads a nd the permissib le overa ll
weight of your vehicle -risk of an accident.
- Mount the attachments to the roof rack only
after you have placed the roof rack on the
vehicle.
- Consider that when transpo rting heavy ob­
jects or one wi th a large surface, the han­
dling characteristics change due to shift in
the center of gravity or the greater surface
exposed to the wind. So adapt your driving
and your speed to prevailing conditions. We recommend that you do not dr ive faster
than 80 mph (130 km/h) .
74
-Mounting a roof rack changes the height of
your veh icle. Keep th is in m ind when parking
your veh icle in your garage, or when dr iving
through a tunnel or under an overpass .
(D Note
- Make sure the rear lid does not hit the cargo
on the roof rack when you open it. On
vehicles with automat ic rear lid/trunk lid
operation* you may have to adjust the open
posit ion of the rear lid
~ page 44 .
-Remove the roof rack and attachment be­
fore taking your vehicle through an auto­ matic ca r wash to avoid damage .
@ For the sake of the environment
As a result of the increased wind resistance
created by a roof rack, your vehicle is using
fuel unnecessarily . So remove the roof rack
after using it.

that you are developing enough driving force at
the wheels by depressing the accelerator .
Depending on the weight of the r ig (vehi cle and
tra iler) and the severity of the incline, you may
ro ll backwards as you start . You can prevent roll ­
ing backwards by holding the parking brake
switch pulled out and accelerating -just as you
wou ld when starting on a hill with a conventiona l
h and brake .
Emergency braking
In the event that the conven tional brake system
fails or locks .
~ In an emergency, pull the sw itch and cont inue
to pull it to slow your veh icle down with the
parking b rake.
~ As soon as you release the switch or accelerate,
the b raking process stops .
If you pull the sw itch and hold it above a speed of
about 5 mph (8 km/h) , the eme rgency braking
function is in it iated . The vehicle is braked at all
four wheels by activating the hydraulic brake sys­
te m. T he b rake perfo rman ce is sim ila r t o making

sw itch is rele ased, or the acce le ra to r p edal is de­
p ressed, eme rgency bra king stops.
A WARNING
Emergency bra king should only be use d in an
emergency, w hen the normal foot brake has
fai led or the bra ke pedal is obstructed . Using
the par king b rake to perfo rm emergency
brak ing will slow your vehicle down as if you
had made a full bra ke ap plication . The laws of
physics cannot be suspended even wi th ESC

Driving safety
-Always put objects, for example, luggage or
other heavy items in the luggage compart­
ment.
- Always secure objects in the luggage com­
partment using the tie-down eyelets and
suitable straps.
A WARNING
Heavy loads will influence the way your vehi­
cle handles. To help reduce the risk of a loss
of control leading to serious personal injury:
- Always keep in mind when transporting
heavy objects, that a change in the center of
gravity can also cause changes in vehicle
handling:
- Always distribute the load as evenly as
possible.
- Place heavy objects as far forward in the
luggage compartment as possible.
- Never exceed the Gross Axle Weight Rating or the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating specified
on the safety compliance sticker on the left
door jamb. Exceeding permissible weight
standards can cause the vehicle to slide and handle differently .
- Please observe information on safe driving
¢page 134.
A WARNING
To help prevent poisonous exhaust gas from
being drawn into the vehicle, always keep the
rear lid closed while driving.
- Never transport objects larger than those fitting completely into the luggage area be­
cause the rear lid cannot be fully closed .
- If you absolutely must drive with the rear lid open, observe the following notes to reduce
the risk of poisoning:
- Close all windows,
- Close the Panoramic sliding sunroof*,
- Open all air outlets in the instrument pan-
el,
- Switch off the air recirculation,
- Set the fresh air fan to the highest speed .
140
A WARNING
,--
Always make sure that the doors, all win­
dows, the Panoramic sliding sunroof* and the
rear lid are securely closed and locked to re­
duce the risk of injury when the vehicle is not
being used .
-After closing the rear lid, always make sure
that it is properly closed and locked.
- Never leave your vehicle unattended espe­
cially with the rear lid left open. A child
could crawl into the vehicle through the lug­
gage compartment and close the rear lid be­
coming trapped and unable to get out. Be­
ing trapped in a vehicle can lead to serious
personal injury.
- Never let children play in or around the vehi­
cle.
- Never let passengers ride in the luggage
compartment. Vehicle occupants must al­
ways be properly restrained in one of the ve­
hicle's seating positions.
(D Tips
- Air circulation helps to reduce window fog­
ging. Stale air escapes to the outside
through vents in the trim panel. Be sure to keep these slots free and open .
- The tire pressure must correspond to the
load. The tire pressure is shown on the tire
pressure label. The tire pressure label is lo­
cated on the driver's side B-pillar . The tire
pressure label lists the recommended cold
tire inflation pressures for the vehicle at its
maximum capacity weight and the tires that
were on your vehicle at the time it was man­
ufactured. For recommended tire pressures
for normal load conditions, please see chap­
ter ¢
page 245.
Tie-downs
The luggage compartment is equipped with four
tie-downs to secure luggage and other items.
Use the tie-downs to secure your cargo properly

In a collision, the laws of physics mean that even
smaller items that are loose in the vehicle will become heavy missiles that can cause serious in ­
jury. Items in the vehicle possess energy which vary with vehicle speed and the weight of the
item. Vehicle speed is the most significant factor .
For example, in a frontal collision at a speed of
30 mph (48 km/h), the forces acting on a 10-lb
(5 kg) object are about 20 times the normal
weight of the item . This means that the weight
of the item would suddenly be about
200 lbs . (90 kg). You can imagine the injuries
that a 200 lbs. (90 kg) item flying free ly through
the passenger compartment could cause in a col­
l ision like this.
& WARNING ,___ -
Weak, damaged or improper straps used to
secure items to tie-downs can fail during hard
braking or in a collision and cause serious per­
sonal injury.
- Always use suitable mounting straps and
properly secure items to the tie-downs in
the luggage compartment to help prevent
items from shifting or flying forward as dan­
gerous missiles .
- When the rear seat backrest is folded down,
always use suitable mounting straps and
properly secure items to the tie-downs in
the luggage compartment to help prevent
items from flying forward as dangerous
missiles into the passenger compartment.
- Never attach a child safety seat tether strap
to a tie-down.
