Enlarging the trunk
The concept
The trunk can be enlarged by folding down the
rear seat backrest.
Without through-loading system: The rear
backrest is divided 60–40. The backrest of the
left seat is connected to the backrest center
section.
With through-loading system: the rear seat
backrest is divided into three parts at a
40/20/40 ratio.
The sides can be folded down separately or to‐
gether.
Information
WARNING
Danger of jamming with folding down the
backrests. There is risk of injuries or risk of
property damage. Make sure that the area of
movement of the rear backrest is clear prior to
folding down.◀
WARNING
The stability of the child restraint system
is limited or compromised with incorrect seat
adjustment or improper installation of the child
seat. There is risk of injuries or danger to life.
Make sure that the child restraint system fits
securely against the backrest. If possible, adjust
the backrest tilt for all affected backrests and
correctly adjust the seats. Make sure that seats
and backrests are securely engaged. If possible,
adjust the height of the head restraints or re‐
move them.◀
WARNING
With an unlocked backrest, an unsecured
load can be thrown into the car's interior, for
example in case of an accident, braking or eva‐
sive maneuver. There is risk of injuries. Make
sure that the backrest engages into the locking
after folding it back.◀
WARNING
With a rear backrest that is not locked,
the protective function of the middle safety belt
is not guaranteed. There is risk of injuries or
danger to life. If you are using the middle safety
belt, lock the wider rear backrest.◀

▷Have all vehicle occupants get out of the
vehicle and ensure that they remain out‐
side the immediate area in a safe place,
such as behind a guardrail.
▷If necessary, set up a warning triangle at an
appropriate distance.
Mobility System
The concept
With the Mobility System, minor tire damage
can be sealed temporarily to enable continued
travel. To accomplish this, sealant is pumped
into the tires, which seals the damage from the
inside.
The compressor can be used to check the tire
inflation pressure.
Information
▷Follow the instructions on using the Mobi‐
lity System found on the compressor and
sealant container.
▷Use of the Mobility System may be ineffec‐
tive if the tire puncture measures approx.
1/8 inches/4 mm or more.
▷Contact a dealer’s service center or another
qualified service center or repair shop if the
tire cannot be made drivable.
▷If possible, do not remove foreign bodies
that have penetrated the tire.
▷Pull the speed limit sticker off the sealant
container and apply it to the steering
wheel.
▷The use of a sealant can damage the TPM
wheel electronics. In this case, have the
electronics checked at the next opportunity
and have them replaced if needed.
DANGER
If the exhaust pipe is blocked or ventila‐
tion is insufficient, harmful exhaust gases can
enter into the vehicle. The exhaust gases con‐
tain carbon monoxide, an odorless and color‐
less but highly toxic gas. In enclosed areas, ex‐
haust gases can also accumulate outside of the
vehicle. There is danger to life. Keep the ex‐
haust pipe free and ensure sufficient ventila‐
tion.◀
Storage
The Mobility System is in a bag in the front left
of the trunk.
Sealant container
▷Sealant container, arrow 1.▷Filling hose, arrow 2.

CAUTION
The compressor can overheat during ex‐
tended operation. There is risk of property
damage. Do not run the compressor for more
than 10 min.◀
If a tire inflation pressure of 2 bar is not
reached:
1.Switch off the compressor.2.Unscrew the filling hose from the wheel.3.Drive forward and back to distribute the
sealant in the tire.
4.Inflate the tire again using the compressor.
If a tire inflation pressure of 2 bar cannot be
reached, contact your dealer’s service cen‐
ter or another qualified service center or re‐
pair shop.
Stowing the Mobility System
1.Remove the connection hose of the sealant
container from the wheel.
2.After pressing the red unlock button on the
compressor, remove the sealing container.
3.Wrap the empty sealant container in suita‐
ble material to avoid dirtying the trunk.
4.Stow the Mobility System back in the vehi‐
cle.
Distributing the sealant
Immediately drive approx. 5 miles/10 km to en‐
sure that the sealant is evenly distributed in the
tire.
Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph/80 km/h.
If possible, do not drive at speeds less than
12 mph/20 km/h.
To correct the tire inflation pressure1.Stop at a suitable location.2.Screw the connection hose of the compres‐
sor directly onto the tire valve stem.
3.Insert the connector into a power socket in‐
side the vehicle.
4.Correct the tire inflation pressure to at least
2.0 bar.
▷Increase pressure: with the ignition
turned on or the engine running, switch
on the compressor.
▷To reduce the pressure: press the but‐
ton on the compressor.
Continuing the trip
Do not exceed the maximum permissible speed
of 50 mph/80 km/h.
Reinitialize the Flat Tire Monitor, refer to
page 108.
Reinitialize the Tire Pressure Monitor, refer to
page 104.
Replace the nonworking tire and the sealant
container of the Mobility System as soon as
possible.
