● Do not allow the load to protrude above the upper edge of the
backrests.
● Do not place any objects on the rear luggage cover or the
instrument panel, and do not cover the sensor on top of theinstrument 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 3 254) and the EC kerb
weight.

88StorageTo 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.
Spread over the roof rack, with a loading height up to 40 cm, the
permissible roof load is:● two roof bars: 100 kg
● three roof bars: 150 kg
● an aluminium rack: 120 kg
● a steel rack: 115 kg
The roof load is the combined weight
of the roof rack and the load.

Driving and operating1839Warning
Emergency automatic braking is
an emergency crash preparation
feature and is not designed to
avoid crashes. Do not rely on the
system to brake the vehicle.
Emergency automatic braking will
not brake outside of its operating speed range and only responds to
detected vehicles and
pedestrians.
Forward looking brake assist
In addition to emergency automatic
braking, the forward looking brake
assist function makes the brake assist more sensitive. Therefore, pressing
the brake pedal less strongly results in immediate hard braking. This
function helps the driver brake
quicker and harder before the
imminent collision.
9 Warning
Active emergency braking is not
designed to apply hard
autonomous braking or to
automatically avoid a collision. It is designed to reduce the vehicle
speed before a collision. It may not
react to animals. After a sudden
lane change, the system needs a
certain time to detect the next
preceding vehicle.
The complete attention of the
driver is always required while
driving. The driver must always be
ready to take action and apply the brakes and steer to avoid
collisions.
The system is designed to work with
all occupants wearing their seat belts.
Forward collision alert 3 180.
Front pedestrian protection 3 184.
Deactivation Active emergency braking can be
deactivated in the personalisation
menu 3 119. If deactivated, m
illuminates in the instrument cluster
and a warning message is displayed
in the Driver Information Centre.
We recommend to deactivate the
system in the vehicle personalisation
in the following cases:
● when towing a trailer or caravan
● when carrying long objects on roof bars or a roof rack
● when the vehicle is being towed with the engine running
● when a spare wheel is fitted that is smaller than the other wheels
● before using an automatic car wash with the engine running
● before placing the vehicle on a rolling road in a workshop
● if the windscreen has been damaged close to the camera
● if the front bumper has been damaged
● if the brake lamps are not working
