Storage71● Secure loose objects in the loadcompartment to prevent from
sliding.
● When transporting objects in the load compartment, the backrestsof 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, parking
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 car.
● The payload is the difference between the permitted gross
vehicle weight (see identification
plate 3 230) 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 (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
60 kg. The roof load is the
combined weight of the roof rack and the load.

charging a mobile device, as these objects could become very hot.
To charge a device, the ignition must
be switched on.
LED status on the charging device (see arrow):
● Illuminates green: - mobile device with inductivecharging functionality was
recognised.
● Illuminates yellow: - metall objects have been
detected in the charging area.

- mobile device was not placed
properly.
PMA or Qi compatible mobile devices can be charged inductively.
A back cover with an integrated coil (e.g. Samsung 4 and 5) or a jacket
(e.g. some iPhone models) may be
required to charge a mobile device.
The mobile device must be smaller
than 8 cm in width and 15 cm in length
to fit into the charging device.
Protective cover for the mobile device could have impact on the inductive
charging.
To charge a mobile device: 1. Remove all objects from the charging device.
2. Place the mobile device with the display facing upwards on the
charging device.
3. Ensure that the mobile device is located at the right bottom corner
of the charging device.
In the case that the yellow LED
illuminates:
1. Remove the mobile device from the charging device.
2. Rotate the mobile device by 180°.
