Mat is located fourfold flapped behind
the raised up seats of the third row.
● Fold down third row seats.
● Expand the parts of the folded mat, so that first part is raised up
at second row backrest.
● When folding down second row backrests, the mat expands
automatically and covers the space between both seat rows.
● To allow one seat in the third row
to be raised up, fold mat in half
lengthways.
● Pull out the mat a little to protect load compartment sill when
loading heavy objects. Raise up
the overlaying part of the mat
before closing the tailgate.
Covering the load compartment up to the backrests of the front seats
Only possible with Flex cover interior
protection mat being folded at the
zipper to half size (double layer).
Mat is expanded up to the second row
seats, as described previously.
● Fold down second row backrests.
● Expand the upper parts of the double layer mat, so that the loadcompartment is fully covered.
The first part of the mat is now
raised up at the backrests of front
seats.

● Fold the overlaying rear partunder the mat before closing the
tailgate.
Covering the load compartment
partially
Only possible with Flex cover interior
protection mat being folded at the
zipper to half size (double layer).
e.g. left outer backrest is not folded
down
Mat is expanded up to the second row
seats, as described in first section.
● Fold down the backrests that shall be covered.
● Open the zipper behind the raised up backrest.
● Pull out the mat until the first part
is flat on the load compartment floor.
● Raise up lengthways the part that
is opened by the zipper, and fold
it to the centre.● Expand the upper part of double layer mat over the folded
backrests.
● Fold the overlaying rear part under the mat before closing the
tailgate.
Proceed in the same way when one
outer backrest and the centre
backrest are not folded down.
e.g. only centre backrest is folded down
Mat is expanded up to the second row seats, as described in first section.
● Fold down centre backrest to be covered.

● Open the zipper from both sidesbehind the left and right backrest.
● Pull out the mat until the first part
is flat on the load compartment floor.
● Raise up lengthways both parts that are opened by the zipper,and fold them to the centre.● Then expand the small upper part of double layer mat over the
centre backrest.
● Fold the overlaying rear part under the mat before closing the
tailgate.
The following illustrations show some
further examples.Example for long small objects, e.g.
skis.
Example for side cover protection.

178Driving and operatingThe settings of the systems are
adapted to a sportier driving style:
● Damping of shock absorbers reacts more stiffly to providebetter contact with the road
surface.
● The engine reacts more quickly to the accelerator pedal.
● Steering support is reduced.
● Shift points of automatic transmission occur later.
● With SPORT mode activated, the
illumination of main instruments changes from white to red.
TOUR modeThe settings of the systems are
adapted to a comfort driving style:
● Damping of shock absorbers reacts more softly.
● Accelerator pedal reacts with standard settings.
● Steering support is in standard mode.
● Shift points of automatic transmission occur in a comfort
mode.
● Illumination of main instruments is white.
Normal mode
All settings of the systems are
adapted to standard values.
Drive mode control Within each manual selected driving
mode SPORT, TOUR or Normal, the
Drive Mode Control (DMC) detects
and analyses continuously the real
driving characteristics, responses by
the driver, and the active dynamic state of the vehicle. If necessary, the
control unit of DMC automatically
changes the settings within theselected driving mode or, when
recognising greater variations, the
driving mode is changed for the
length of variation.
If, for example, Normal mode is
selected and DMC detects a sporty
driving behaviour, DMC changes
several settings of the Normal mode
into sporty settings. The DMC
changes to SPORT mode in case of
very sporty driving behaviour.
If, for example, TOUR mode is
selected and whilst driving on a
winding road a sudden hard brake is
necessary, DMC will detect the
dynamic vehicle condition and
changes the settings for suspension
to SPORT mode to increase vehicle
stability.
When the driving characteristic or the
dynamic vehicle state returns to
former state, DMC will change the
settings to the preselected driving
mode.

Vehicle care253Tyre chains
Tyre chains are only permitted on the
front wheels.
Always use fine mesh chains that add no more than 10 mm to the tyre tread
and the inboard sides (including chain lock).
9 Warning
Damage may lead to tyre blowout.
Tyre chains are only permitted on
tyres of size 215/60 R16 and
225/50 R17.
The use of tyre chains is not permitted on the temporary spare wheel.
Tyre repair kit
Minor damage to the tyre tread can be
repaired with the tyre repair kit.
Do not remove foreign bodies from
the tyres.
Tyre damage exceeding 4 mm or that
is at the tyre's sidewall cannot be
repaired with the tyre repair kit.9 Warning
Do not drive faster than 80 km/h.
Do not use for a lengthy period.
Steering and handling may be
affected.
If you have a flat tyre:
Apply the parking brake and engage
first gear, reverse gear or P.
The tyre repair kit is on the left side in
the load compartment behind a cover.
1. Take the tyre repair kit from the compartment.
2. Remove the compressor.
