Driving stability control systemsVehicle features and op‐
tions
This chapter describes all standard, country-
specific and optional features offered with the
series. It also describes features that are not
necessarily available in your car, e. g., due to
the selected options or country versions. This
also applies to safety-related functions and sys‐
tems. The respectively applicable country provi‐
sions must be observed when using the respec‐
tive features and systems.
Anti-lock Braking System
ABS
ABS prevents locking of the wheels during
braking.
The vehicle contains its steering power even
during full brake applications, thus increasing
active safety.
ABS is operational every time you start the en‐
gine.
Brake assistant
When you apply the brakes rapidly, this system
automatically produces the greatest possible
braking force boost. It reduces the braking dis‐
tance to a minimum during emergency stop.
This system utilizes all of the benefits provided
by ABS.
Do not reduce the pressure on the brake pedal
for the duration of the emergency stop.
DSC Dynamic Stability
Control
The concept
Dynamic Stability Control detect for example
the following unstable driving conditions:
▷Fishtailing, which can lead to oversteering.▷Loss of traction of the front wheel, which
can lead to understeering.
Within the physical limits, the system helps to
keep the vehicle on a steady course by reduc‐
ing engine speed and by applying brakes to the
individual wheels.
Information
The system does not relieve the driver from his
responsibility to adjust his driving style accord‐
ing to the situation.
Therefore, adjust the driving style according to
the situation and do not reduce the additional
safety margin by driving in a risky manner.
WARNING
When driving with roof load, for example
with roof-mounted luggage rack, driving safety
may not be ensured in driving-critical situations
due to the elevated center of gravity. There is
risk of accidents or risk of property damage. Do
not deactivate Dynamic Stability Control DSC
when driving with roof load.◀
Indicator/warning lights
The indicator lamp flashes: DSC controls
the drive and braking forces.
The indicator lamp lights up: DSC has
failed.

For example, if the YYY amount equals
1,000 lbs and there will be four 150 lbs pas‐
sengers in your vehicle, the amount of
available cargo and luggage load capacity
is 400 lbs: 1,000 lbs minus 600 lbs =
400 lbs.
5.Determine the combined weight of luggage
and cargo being loaded on the vehicle.
That weight may not safely exceed the
available cargo and luggage load capacity
calculated in Step 4.
Load
The maximum load is the sum of the weight of
the occupants and the cargo.
The greater the weight of the occupants, the
less cargo that can be transported.
Stowing cargo
▷Cover sharp edges and corners on the
cargo.
▷Heavy cargo: stow as far forward as possi‐
ble, directly behind and at the bottom of
the rear passenger seat backrests.
▷Very heavy cargo: when the rear seat is not
occupied, secure each of the outer safety
belts in the opposite buckle.
▷If necessary, fold down the rear backrests
to stow cargo.
▷Do not stack cargo above the top edge of
the backrests.
Securing cargo
Information
WARNING
Improperly stowed objects can shift and
be thrown into the car's interior, for example in
the event of an accident or during braking and
evasive maneuvers. Vehicle occupants can be
hit and injured. There is risk of injuries. Stow
and secure objects and cargo properly.◀
▷Small and light cargo: secure with retaining
straps or draw straps.
▷Larger and heavy cargo: secure with cargo
straps.
Attach the cargo straps, retaining straps or
draw straps to the lashing eyes in the cargo
area.
Lashing eyes in the cargo area
With storage package: to secure the cargo
there are four lashing eyes in the cargo area.
Roof-mounted luggage
rack
Information
Installation only possible with roof rack.

Roof racks are available as special accessories.
Securing
Follow the installation instructions of the roof
rack.
Loading
Because roof racks raise the vehicle's center of
gravity when loaded, they have a major effect
on vehicle handling and steering response.
Therefore, note the following when loading and
driving:
▷Do not exceed the approved roof/axle
loads and the approved gross vehicle
weight.
▷Be sure that adequate clearance is main‐
tained for tilting and opening the glass sun‐
roof.
▷Distribute the roof load uniformly.▷The roof load should not extend past the
loading area.
▷Always place the heaviest pieces on the
bottom.
▷Secure the roof luggage firmly, e.g., tie with
ratchet straps.
▷Drive cautiously and avoid sudden acceler‐
ation and braking maneuvers. Take corners
gently.

Saving fuelVehicle features and op‐
tions
This chapter describes all standard, country-
specific and optional features offered with the
series. It also describes features that are not
necessarily available in your car, e. g., due to
the selected options or country versions. This
also applies to safety-related functions and sys‐
tems. The respectively applicable country provi‐
sions must be observed when using the respec‐
tive features and systems.
General information
Your vehicle contains advanced technology for
the reduction of fuel consumption and emis‐
sions.
Fuel consumption depends on a number of dif‐
ferent factors.
The implementation of certain measures, driv‐
ing style and regular maintenance can influ‐
ence fuel consumption and environmental im‐
pact.
Remove unnecessary
cargo
Additional weight increases fuel consumption.
Remove attached parts
following use
Remove auxiliary mirrors, roof-mounted or rear
luggage racks which are no longer required fol‐
lowing use.
Attached parts on the vehicle impair the aero‐
dynamics and increase the fuel consumption.
Close the windows and
glass sunroof
Driving with the glass sunroof and windows
open results in increased air resistance and
raises fuel consumption.
Tires
General information
Tires can affect fuel consumption in various
ways, for example, tire size may influence fuel
consumption.
Check the tire inflation pressure
regularly
Check and, if needed, correct the tire inflation
pressure at least twice a month and before
starting on a long trip.
Low tire inflation pressure increases rolling re‐
sistance and thus raises fuel consumption and
tire wear.
Drive away without de‐
lay
Do not wait for the engine to warm-up while
the vehicle remains stationary. Start driving
right away, but at moderate engine speeds.
This is the fastest way for the cold engine to
reach its operating temperature.
Look well ahead when
driving
Avoid unnecessary acceleration and braking.

Information
The technical data and specifications in this
Owner's Manual are used as guidance values.
The vehicle-specific data can deviate from this,
for example, due to the selected special equip‐
ment, country version or country-specific
measurement method. Detailed values can be
found in the approval documents, on labels on
the vehicle or can be obtained from a dealer’s
service center or another qualified service cen‐
ter or repair shop.
The information in the vehicle documents al‐
ways has priority over the information in this
Owner's Manual.
Dimensions
The dimensions can vary depending on the
model version, equipment or country-specific
measurement method.
The specified heights do not take into account
attached parts, for example, a roof antenna,
roof racks or spoiler. The heights can deviate,
for example, due to the selected special equip‐
ment, tires, load and chassis version.
