Do not store heavy or sharp
objects in the storage
compartments. Otherwise vehicle
occupants could be injured by
objects being thrown around in the
event of hard braking, a sudden
change in direction or an accident.
Instrument panel storage
Storage compartments, pockets and
trays are located in the instrument
panel.
A phone holder and/or a coin holder
with a clip for holding tickets is located on the top of the instrument panel.
The tray located centrally on top of the instrument panel has a lid.
Document holder
Withdraw the document holder from
the instrument panel by pulling the
base towards you and then swivelling it downwards.

70StorageFire extinguisher
As a visible indication of the presence
of a fire extinguisher, a label may be
located on the overhead console
3 66.
The fire extinguisher can be
accommodated in the space under
the front seats. Using the two loops on the seat cushion, pull the cushion
forwards to gain access.
Underseat storage 3 66.
Depending on version, the fire
extinguisher may alternatively be
located in the space between the front
seats.An additional fire extinguisher may be
located in the front door panel or in the load compartment.Roof rack system
Roof rackFor safety reasons and to avoid
damage to the roof, the vehicle
approved roof rack system is
recommended.
Follow the installation instructions
and remove the roof rack when not in
use.

Storage71Loading information● Heavy objects in the load compartment should be evenly
distributed and placed as far
forward as possible. If objects
can be stacked, the heavier
objects should be placed at the
bottom.
● Secure objects with lashing straps attached to lashing eyes
3 67.
● Secure loose objects in load compartment to prevent them
from sliding.
● The load must not obstruct the operation of the pedals, parking
brake and gear selector lever, or
hinder the freedom of movement of the driver. Do not place any
unsecured objects in the interior.
● Do not drive with an open load compartment. In addition, the
number plate is only
distinguishable and illuminated
correctly if the doors are closed.9 Warning
Always make sure that the load in
the vehicle is securely stowed.
Otherwise objects can be thrown
around inside the vehicle and
cause personal injury or damage
to the load or vehicle.
● The payload is the difference between the permitted gross
vehicle weight (see identification
plate 3 199) and the EC kerb
weight.
To calculate the payload, enter
the data for your vehicle in the
Weights table at the front of this
manual.
The EC kerb weight includes
weights for the driver (68 kg),
luggage (7 kg) and all fluids (tank 90% full).
Optional equipment and
accessories increase the kerb
weight.
● Driving with a roof load increases
the sensitivity of the vehicle to
cross-winds and has a
detrimental effect on vehicle
handling due to the vehicle's
higher centre of gravity.
Distribute the load evenly and secure it properly with retaining
straps. Adjust the tyre pressure
and vehicle speed according to
the load conditions. Check and
retighten the straps frequently.
Do not drive faster than 75 mph.
● The permissible roof load (which includes the weight of the roof
rack) is 200 kg for standard roof
variants. The roof load is the combined weight of the roof rack
and the load.

192Vehicle careAppearance careExterior care
Locks The locks are lubricated at the factoryusing a high quality lock cylinder
grease. Use de-icing agent only when
absolutely necessary, as this has a
degreasing effect and impairs lock function. After using a de-icing agent, have the locks regreased by a
workshop.
Washing The paintwork of your vehicle is
exposed to environmental influences. Wash and wax your vehicle regularly.
When using automatic vehicle
washes, select a programme that
includes waxing. Restrictions for
filmed or matt painted body parts or decor tapes, see "Polishing and
waxing".
Bird droppings, dead insects, resin,
pollen and the like should be cleaned
off immediately, as they contain
aggressive constituents which can cause paint damage.If using a vehicle wash, comply with
the vehicle wash manufacturer's instructions. The windscreen wipersmust be switched off and the exterior
mirrors must be folded in. Remove
antenna and external accessories
such as roof racks etc.
If you wash your vehicle by hand,
make sure that the insides of the
wheel housings are also thoroughly
rinsed out.
Clean edges and folds on opened
doors and the bonnet as well as the
areas they cover.
Clean bright metal mouldings with a
cleaning solution approved for
aluminium to avoid damages.Caution
Always use a cleaning agent with
a pH value of 4 to 9.
Do not use cleaning agents on hot surfaces.
Have the door hinges of all doors
greased by a workshop.
Do not clean the engine compartment with a steam-jet or high-pressure jet
cleaner.
Thoroughly rinse and leather-off the vehicle. Rinse leather frequently. Use
separate leathers for painted and
glass surfaces: remnants of wax on
the windows will impair vision.
Exterior lights
Headlight and other light covers are
made of plastic. Do not use any
abrasive or caustic agents, do not use
an ice scraper, and do not clean them
dry.
Polishing and waxing
Wax the vehicle regularly (at the
latest when water no longer beads).
Otherwise, the paintwork will dry out.
Polishing is necessary only if the paint
has become dull or if solid deposits
have become attached to it.
Paintwork polish with silicone forms a protective film, making waxing
unnecessary.
