power rating of 120 Watt. USB power sockets
Depending on the equipment

and the coun-
try, the vehicle may also have USB connec-
tions exclusively for charging or as a power
socket.
These USB ports are located at the rear of the
console, between the front seats ››› Fig. 161
. These connectors can work at a maximum
power of up to 10.5 W per port.
They are not intended for file playback. WARNING
The power socket works only when the igni-
tion is on. Impr

oper use may cause serious
injury or even fire. Children should therefore
not be left in the vehicle unattended if the
button is also left behind. Otherwise there is
a possibility that they may be injured. CAUTION
Always use the correct type of plugs to avoid
dam agin

g the sockets. Note
● The use of el

ectrical appliances with the
engine switched off will cause a battery dis-
charge.
● Should the connected appliance overheat,
immediately
switch it off and disconnect it
from the socket. ●
Bef or

e switching the ignition on or off, un-
plug the appliances from the USB ports to
protect them from any damage caused by
fluctuations in voltage. Storing objects
Lo a

ding the luggage compartment All luggage and other loose objects must be
saf
ely

secured in the luggage compartment.
Unsecured objects which shift back and forth
could impair the driving safety or driving
characteristics of the vehicle by shifting the
centre of gravity.
– Distribute the load evenly in the luggage
comp ar

tment.
– Place heavy objects as far forward as possi-
ble in the lug

gage compartment.
– Place the heavy objects first.
– Secure heavy objects to the fitted fastening
rings

››› page 167. WARNING
● Loo se lug

gage and other objects in the lug-
gage compartment could cause serious inju-
ries.
● Always stow objects in the luggage com-
partment
and secure them on the fastening
rings. 160

Transport and practical equipment
●
Use s uit
able straps to secure heavy ob-
jects.
● During sudden manoeuvres or accidents,
loose ob
jects can be thrown forward, injuring
vehicle occupants or passers-by. This in-
creased risk of injury will be further increased
if a loose object is struck by an inflating air-
bag. If this happens, objects may shoot out-
ward like a missile. Risk of fatal injury.
● Please note that the centre of gravity may
shift when tr
ansporting heavy objects; this
may affect vehicle handling and lead to an ac-
cident. Therefore, it is essential to adjust
your speed and driving style accordingly, to
avoid accidents.
● Never exceed the allowed axle weights or
allo
wed maximum weight. If said weights are
exceeded, the driving characteristics of the
vehicle may change, leading to accidents, in-
juries and damage to the vehicle.
● Never leave your vehicle unattended, espe-
cia
lly when the rear lid is open. Children
could climb into the luggage compartment,
closing the door behind them; they will be
trapped and run the risk of death.
● Never allow children to play in or around
the vehic
le. Close and lock all the doors and
the rear lid when you leave the vehicle. Be-
fore you lock the vehicle, make sure that
there are no adults or children in the vehicle. Note
● Air cir c

ulation in the vehicle helps reduce
fogging of the windows. Used air escapes
through ventilation slits in the side trim of
the luggage compartment. Ensure that the
ventilation slots are never covered.
● Straps for securing the load to the fasten-
ing ring
s are commercially available. Luggage compartment shelf
