52Seats, restraints
In addition to the ISOFIX mounting
brackets, fasten the Top-tether strap
to the Top-tether anchors.
Remove the load compartment cover before mounting a child restraint
system, if required 3 60.
ISOFIX child restraint systems of
universal category positions are
marked in the table by IUF 3 53.
Selecting the right system The rear seats are the most
convenient location to fasten a child
restraint system.
Children should travel facing
rearwards in the vehicle as long as
possible. This makes sure that the child's backbone, which is still very
weak, is under less strain in the event
of an accident.
Suitable are restraint systems that
comply with valid UN ECE
regulations. Check local laws and
regulations for mandatory use of child restraint systems.
The following child restraints are
recommended for the following
weight classes:
● Group 0, Group 0+
Maxi Cosi Cabriofix with or
without ISOFIX base, for children
up to 13 kg.
● Group I
Duo Plus with ISOFIX and Top-
tether, for children from 9 kg to
18 kg.
● Group II, Group III
Kidfix XP with or without ISOFIX,
for children from 15 kg to 25 kg.
Graco Junior, for children
from 22 kg to 36 kg.Ensure that the child restraint system to be installed is compatible with the
vehicle type.
Ensure that the mounting location of
the child restraint system within the
vehicle is correct, see following
tables.
Allow children to enter and exit the
vehicle only on the side facing away
from the traffic.
When the child restraint system is not in use, secure the seat with a seat beltor remove it from the vehicle.
Note
Do not affix anything on the child
restraint systems and do not cover
them with any other materials.
A child restraint system which has
been subjected to stress in an
accident must be replaced.

Storage639Warning
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 3 247) and the EC kerb
weight.
The EC kerb weight includes
weights for the driver (68 kg),
luggage (7 kg) and all fluids.
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
50 kg. The roof load is the
combined weight of the roof rack and the load.

General information .................208Driving hints
Driving economically The following advice is intended to
help maximise energy efficiency and
range.
In colder temperatures, while these
efficiency tips will help, the electric
vehicle's driving range may be lower
due to higher energy usage.
The weight of additional cargo in the
vehicle affects efficiency and range.
Avoid carrying more than is needed.
Avoid unnecessary use of electrical
accessories. Power used for
functions other than propelling the
vehicle will reduce electric vehicle
range.
Always keep the tyres properly
inflated and the vehicle properly
aligned.
Driving style
Avoid unnecessary rapid
accelerations and decelerations.
Use cruise control when appropriate.

Vehicle care231unable to maintain the recommended
pressure, seek the assistance of a
workshop.Caution
Do not drive with a deflated self-
sealing tyre as this could damage
the tyre. Make sure the tyre is
inflated to the recommended
pressure or have it immediately
repaired or replaced.
When tyre replacement is needed,
replace with a self-sealing tyre,
because the vehicle does not come
with a spare tyre or tyre changing
equipment.
Directional tyres
If possible, fit directional tyres such
that they roll in the direction of travel.
The rolling direction is indicated by a
symbol (e.g. an arrow) on the
sidewall.
The following applies to tyres fitted
opposing the rolling direction:
● Driveability may be affected. Have the defective tyre renewed
or repaired as soon as possible
and fit it instead of the spare
wheel.
● Do not drive faster than 80 km/h.
● Drive particularly carefully on wet
and snow-covered road
surfaces.
Winter tyres
Winter tyres improve driving safety at temperatures below 7 °C and shouldtherefore be fitted on all wheels.
All tyre sizes are permitted as winter
tyres 3 251.
In accordance with country-specific
regulations, affix the speed sticker in
the driver's field of view.

Choose a tyre appropriate for the
maximum speed of your vehicle.
The maximum speed is achievable at kerb weight with driver (75 kg) plus
125 kg payload. Optional equipment
could reduce the maximum speed of
the vehicle.
Performance 3 249.
Tyre pressure
Check the pressure of cold tyres at
least every 14 days and before any
long journey.
