When transporting heavy objects, the driving characteristics change due to the
shift in centre-of-gravity. The speed and style of driving must be adjusted ac-
cordingly.
When transporting cargo the following the instructions must be adhered to
▶ Distribute the load evenly in the luggage compartment and secure it with
suitable lashing straps to the lashing eyes or securing nets so that they can-
not slip.
▶ Place heavy objects as far forward as possible.
▶ Tyre pressure is to match the load.
In the event of an accident, even small and light objects gain so much kinetic
energy that they can cause severe injuries.
The magnitude of the kinetic energy is dependent on the speed at which the
vehicle is travelling and the weight of the object.
Luggage compartment light
The light switches on/off when the boot lid is opened or closed.
If the boot lid is open and the ignition switched off, the light will extinguish
automatically after around 10 minutes.WARNING■ Never exceed the maximum permissible load of the respective fasteners,
nets, hooks etc. Heavy objects were not secured sufficiently – risk of injury!■
Do not exceed the permissible axle loads and permissible gross weight of
the vehicle – risk of accident!
■
An unfixed or improperly fixed load can slip during a sudden manoeuvre
or an accident - danger of injury!
■
Loose cargo could hit a deployed airbag and injure occupants – danger of
death!
■
When transporting loads in the luggage compartment that has been en-
larged by folding the rear seats forward, ensure the safety of the passen-
gers transported on the other rear seats .
CAUTION
■ Never exceed the maximum permissible load of the respective fasteners,
nets, hooks etc. - these could be damaged.■
Make sure that the heating elements of the rear window heater, the ele-
ments of the integrated aerial in the rear window or in the rear side windows
are not damaged by abrasive items.
■
Do not place sharp objects in the nets and storage compartments in the lug-
gage compartment - there is a risk of damage to the net as well as the com-
partments.
■

Function
242
ProActive passenger protection (following known as system) increases pas-
senger protection in the front seats in situations that could lead to vehicle im-
pact or overturning.
WARNINGPlease take note of the general points relating to the use of assistance
systems » page 212, in section Introduction .
Note
■
The system component service life is monitored electronically. Further infor-
mation » page 37 ,  Safety systems .■
If the front passenger front airbag is deactivated, the belt tensioning func-
tion for the front passenger seat is switched off.
Function
Read and observe
on page 242 first.
In critical driving situations (e.g. during emergency braking or a sudden changein direction), the following steps can be taken separately or combined in order
to reduce the risk of serious injury.
▶ The front passenger's and driver's seatbelts, if worn, are automatically ten-
sioned closely over the body.
▶ Opened door windows in the front doors are closed automatically up to a gap
of about 5 cm from the edge.
▶ The sliding/tilting roof is closed.
Once the critical driving situation has passed, the tension on the seatbelts will
be released again.
The system operates at two levels of protection.
The first level of protection
The system already intervenes in situations that may occur during dynamic
driving. As a result, this primarily helps to keep the driver and the passenger in
the correct seated position. 
