Stowing and using
Additional storage
You will find a variety of storage compartments
and holders at various locations in the vehicle.
— Glove compartment: the glove compartment
can be locked using the mechanical key
=> page 33.
— Holders for a notepad, pen, and coins in the
glove compartment
— Storage compartment in the cockpit on the
driver's side
— Storage compartments in the door trim panel
— Storage compartments in the front center con-
sole
— Storage compartment under the front center
armrest*
— Nets on the back of the front seats
— Garment hooks in the rear
— Storage compartment in the rear center arm-
rest*
— Removable box* under the cargo floor in the
luggage compartment
— Bag hooks* in the luggage compartment
— Net* in luggage compartment
ZA\ WARNING
—To reduce the risk of injury, make sure all
storage compartments are always closed
while driving.
— Loose objects can be thrown around the ve-
hicle interior during sudden driving or brak-
ing maneuvers, which increases the risk of
an accident. Store objects securely while
driving.
— Only use the storage compartments in the
door trim panels to store small objects that
will not stick out of the compartment and
impair the function of the side airbags.
— Only lightweight clothing should be hung
from the garment hooks in the vehicle. Do
not use clothes hangers to hang clothing.
The pockets of the clothing must not con-
tain any heavy, breakable, or sharp-edged
objects. This could impair the effectiveness
of the side curtain airbags.
— Make sure your view toward the rear is not
blocked, for example by hanging clothing or
objects in the vehicle.
Luggage compartment
General information
All pieces of luggage or objects must be securely
fastened in the luggage compartment. Note the
following to maintain good vehicle handling:
> Distribute the load evenly in the luggage com-
partment.
> Stow heavy luggage as far forward in the lug-
gage compartment as possible.
> Use non-elastic cords attached to the tie-downs
to secure objects.
ZA\ WARNING
— The luggage compartment cover is not a
surface for storing objects. Objects placed
on the cover increase the risk of injury to all
vehicle occupants during sudden driving or
braking maneuvers or in the event of an ac-
cident.
— Loose objects can be thrown around the ve-
hicle interior during sudden driving or brak-
ing maneuvers, which increases the risk of
an accident. Always stow objects securely in
the luggage compartment and secure them
at the tie-downs. Use straps suitable for
heavy objects.
— If pieces of luggage or objects are secured
to the tie-downs with unsuitable or dam-
aged straps, this can increase the risk of in-
jury during braking maneuvers or accidents.
— When transporting heavy objects, the vehi-
cle characteristics will change due to the
shift in the center of gravity, which increases
the risk of an accident. You may need to
adapt your driving style and speed to the
current conditions.
— The cargo net is only strong enough to se-
cure light objects. Heavy objects are not ade-
quately secured. Attempting to secure heavy
objects increases the risk of injury.
— Never exceed the permitted axle and load
and vehicle weight > page 292.

data carriers:

sleeve and do not expose them to direct
sunlight

ta carriers
— Do not use single CDs/DVDs with an 8 cm
diameter, non-circular CDs/DVDs (shaped
CDs), cleaning CDs, and protective rings
