70StorageLoading information● Heavy objects in the load compartment should be evenlydistributed and placed as far
forward as possible. Ensure the
backrests are securely engaged.
If objects can be stacked, the
heavier objects should be placed
at the bottom.
With rear seats in the folded position, objects must not be stacked higher than the seat
backrests.
● Secure objects with lashing straps attached to lashing eyes
3 69.
● Secure loose objects in the load compartment, e.g. with a luggagefloor net, to prevent sliding.
● When transporting objects in the load compartment, the backrests
of the rear seats must not be
angled forward.
● Do not allow the load to protrude above the upper edge of the
backrests.● Do not place any objects on the load compartment cover or the
instrument panel, and do not cover the sensor on top of the
instrument panel.
● The load must not obstruct the operation of the pedals, electricalparking brake and gear selector,
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.9Warning
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 3 205) and the EC kerb
weight.
To calculate the EC kerb weight,
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 (fuel
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
120 km/h.
The permissible roof load is
100 kg. The roof load is the
combined weight of the roof rack and the load.

Driving and operating137Use of the engine braking effect, as
opposed to the use of the foot brake
when driving downhill, can extend the
life of the brakes.
Rocking the vehicle
Rocking the vehicle is only
permissible if the vehicle is stuck in
water, ice, sand, mud, snow or a dip.
Move the selector lever between D
and R in a repeat pattern while
applying light pressure to the
accelerator pedal when the vehicle is in gear. Do not race the engine and
avoid sudden acceleration.
If the vehicle cannot be released after
rocking the vehicle several times,
your vehicle may need to be towed
3 196.
Parking Apply the electrical parking brake and
engage P.
The ignition key can only be removed
when the selector lever is in position
P .Sport mode
Suspension and steering become
more direct and provide better
contact with the road surface. The
engine reacts more quickly to
accelerator pedal movements.
Automatic gear changing is also more
responsive.
Sport mode can reduce the vehicle's
fuel economy. Use normal mode whenever possible.
Note
Sport mode may be unavailable if the charging level of the vehicle
battery is too low.
ActivationPress SPORT to switch on Sport
mode.
Control indicator S illuminates in
the instrument cluster 3 86.
Deactivation
Press SPORT again to return to
normal mode. Control indicator S extinguishes.

140Driving and operatingCaution
It is not advisable to drive with thehand resting on the selector lever.
Fuel economy mode 3 122.
Drive systems
All-wheel drive
All-wheel drive is an active-on-
demand system that engages
automatically, with no action required
by the driver. Depending on the
driving environment, the vehicle
switches between two-wheel drive
and four-wheel drive, to give the vehicle more traction and stability
when necessary.
If the front wheels begin to slip, the
rear wheels will automatically begin to drive the vehicle as required. More
torque is transferred to the wheels
that have the most traction, so the
vehicle has optimum grip at all times. There may be a slight engagement
noise during hard use.
As well as enabling the vehicle to be
driven off-road, this system also
enables the vehicle to be driven on
normal roads without incurring
excessive tyre and drivetrain wear or
causing poor control.Ensure tyres (including the spare) are
inflated to the correct pressure
3 212 and are suitable for the
prevailing road conditions. For
optimum system performance, the
vehicle's tyres should not have
varying degrees of wear.
If control indicator B flashes in the
instrument cluster during driving, All-
wheel drive is temporarily disabled. If B flashes continuously, there is a fault
in the system; seek the assistance of
a workshop.
All-wheel drive control indicator B
3 86.
On-road driving
The increased traction of All-wheel
drive vehicles offers greater driving
control in adverse road conditions,
particularly heavy snow and ice.
However, All-wheel drive vehicles are not "skid-proof" and do not decrease
stopping distances.
All-wheel drive vehicles have a higher
centre of gravity than conventional vehicles. Always approach curves at
an appropriate driving speed. Do not
attempt to go as fast through turns as

142Driving and operatingEnsure the radiator core and the areabetween the radiator and intercooler/
oil cooler (where installed) is cleaned, to maintain proper cooling air flow.Check the radiator and cooler cores
for blockage (sand, silt etc.).
Check the tyre treads.
Clean and check the mechanical
parts of the vehicle, particularly the
following areas:
● Driveshafts, including sealing bellows
● Front brake calipers, pads and discs
● Front suspension
● Clutch fork sealing bellows
● Rear brake calipers, pads and discs
● Rear suspension
● Fuel tank and underguard
● Breathers, axles and fuel tank
● Load sensing valve
● Transfer box and underguard
● Engine oil pan and underguardObserve the following: ● Do not spray high-pressure water
directly at the vehicle seals
● The wheels must be removed to clean all mud and stones from the
brake calipers and to check
brake pad wear
● The areas on the upper side of the underguards must be clearedof stones, to prevent damage to
the engine oil pan and the fuel
tankBrakes
The brake system comprises two
independent brake circuits.
If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle can
still be braked using the other brake
circuit. However, braking effect is
achieved only when the brake pedal
is depressed firmly. Considerably
more force is needed for this. The
braking distance is extended. Seek
the assistance of a workshop before
continuing your journey.
When the engine is not running, the
support of the brake servo unit
disappears once the brake pedal has
been depressed once or twice.
Braking effect is not reduced, but
braking requires significantly greater
force. It is especially important to bear this in mind when being towed.
Control indicator R 3 85.
Antilock brake system
Antilock brake system (ABS)
prevents the wheels from locking.
