replaced. If you use load securing aids or tie
downs which are worn out, the load may not
be sufficiently secured and could cause dam-
age to property.
In the event of an accident, have a damaged
cargo compartment floor or loading area, the
cargo tie-down rings and the tie down checked
at a specialist workshop. Otherwise, the load
may not be correctly secured the next time
anything is stowed.
Even if you follow all loading guidelines, the
load increases the risk of injury in the event of
an accident. Observe the information in the
"Securing a load"
(Y page 244) and "Load dis-
tribution" (Y page 243) sections.
You will find information about the maximum
roof load under "Cargo tie-down points and
carrier systems" (Y page 313). You will find
information about roof carriers under "Carrier
systems" (Y page 249). Before loading
! The anti-slip mats cannot be used for
securing goods and must be replaced when
they show signs of:
R Permanent deformation and crushing
R Crack formation
R Cuts
X Tire pressure: check the tire pressure and
correct if necessary
(Y page 282).
X Cargo compartment floor: clean the cargo
compartment floor.
The cargo compartment floor must be free
from oil and dust, dry and swept clean to
prevent the load from slipping.
X Place non-slip mats (anti-slip mats) on the
cargo compartment floor if necessary. During loading
X Observe the gross axle weight rating and
permissible gross vehicle weight for your
vehicle.
Take into account that your vehicle's curb
weight is increased if accessories or optional equipment are installed. The maxi-
mum payload is thus reduced.
X Observe the notes on load distribution
(Y page

243).
The overall center of gravity of the load
should always be as low as possible, cen-
tered and between the axles near the rear
axle.
X Secure the load (Y page
244).
Observe the legal requirements of the coun-
try in which you are currently driving. Checks after loading
G
DANGER
Combustion engines emit poisonous
exhaust gases, such as carbon monoxide.
Exhaust gases can enter the vehicle interior
if the tailgate/rear-end door is open when
the engine is running, especially if the vehi-
cle is in motion. There is a risk of poisoning.
Always switch off the engine before opening
the tailgate/rear-end door. Never drive the
vehicle when the tailgate/rear-end door is
open.
X Securing luggage/loads: make sure that
the luggage and/or load is secure before
every journey and at regular intervals during
a long journey, and correct it if necessary.
X Doors/tailgate: close the sliding doors and
tailgate/door.
X Tire pressure: adjust the tire pressure
according to the vehicle load
(Y page 282).
X Driving style: adapt your driving style
according to the vehicle load. Load distribution
General notes
! Excessive loads on individual points of the
cargo floor or on the load surface impair
vehicle handling characteristics and could
cause damage to the floor covering.
The overall center of gravity of the load should
always be as low as possible, centered and
between the axles near the rear axle. Load distribution
