- After closing the boot lid, always check that
the catch has engaged properly. The boot lid
could otherwise open suddenly when the ve­
hicle is moving - this could result in an
acci­

dent.
- Always make sure that no-one is in the boot
lid's area of movement (especially near the
hinges) when it is moving. Risk of severe in­
juries to fingers or hands!
- The boot lid must always be completely
closed when the vehicle is moving; other­
wise toxic exhaust fumes can be drawn into
the interior.
- If
a
luggage rack (e.g. a bicycle carrier) is at­
tached to the boot lid, the boot lid may not
open completely or may move downwards
by itself due to the added weight. For this

reason,
make sure you support the boot lid

or
take the luggage off the carrier before
opening the boot lid - risk of injury!
© Note
- When towing a trailer* the automatic open
function can only be operated via the re­
lease catch on the boot lid.
- If the battery is low, the boot lid can still be
opened and closed manually; however, this
will require more effort. If
you
move the
boot lid slowly less effort will be required.
- When the vehicle is locked, you can unlock
the boot Lid separately by pressing the

button on the remote control key. The boot
lid will Lock automatically when you close it

roof load limit applies to the combined weight
of the roof carrier, the additional elements and
the Load itself. Please do not exceed the maxi­
mum carrying load of the carrier system you are

using.

A WARNIN
- Note the fitting instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the roof carrier system. If
you do not secure the roof carrier system
and roof load correctly, they can become
separated from the vehicle and cause an ac­
cident.
- The use of
a
roof carrier system affects the
vehicle's handling by shifting the centre of
gravity and increasing susceptibility to cross
winds - risk of accident! Take extra care
when driving and adjust your speed accord­
ingly.
CAUTION
- Any damage to the vehicle caused by the
use of other types of roof rack or incorrect
installation will not be covered by the facto­
ry warranty. The roof carrier system must
therefore be installed exactly according to
the instructions provided.
- Please take care that the boot lid and panor­
ama sun roof* do not come into contact
with the roof load when opened.

(•)
For
the sake of the environment
The increased air resistance means that the
vehicle uses more
fuel.
For this reason you
should always take off the roof carrier when it
is not in use.

picture on the infotainment display. Objects out
of range of the camera in area (2) do not appear
in the picture.
WARNING
-Please observe the safety warnings
oA'fi

General notes on page 134.
- For safety reasons, you should not use the
system if the position and installation angle
of the reversing camera have been changed,

e.g.
due to an accident. Have it checked by a
qualified workshop.
- Only use the reversing camera to assist you
if it is supplying you with a good and clear
picture. The quality of the picture can be im­
paired by adverse light, dirt on the lens or a
defect.
- Only use the reversing camera when the
boot lid is completely closed. The orienta­
tion lines and blue markings are not shown
when the boot lid is open. Please make sure
that there are no objects mounted to the
rear end of the vehicle which could block the
view of the reversing camera.
- The camera lens enlarges and distorts the
field of
vision.
Objects on the screen are
modified and depicted inaccurately.
- In certain situations, people or objects on
the display may appear closer or further
away than they really are:
- Objects which are not touching the

ground,
such as the bumper of
a
parked
vehicle, a tow-bar or the rear end of
a

truck. In this case, do not use the orienta­
tion Lines as a guide.
- When you are reversing from a horizontal
surface up a gradient or down a
hill.

-When approaching protruding objects.
- When the vehicle has been loaded with a
greater load on the rear.

Safe driving

•
Distribute the load evenly in the luggage com­
partment.

•
Place heavy items as far forward as possible in
the luggage compartment and secure them
properly
<^>Fig.
214.

•
Secure the load with the stretch net* or with
non-elastic straps secured to the fastening
rings
^>page
62.
© CAUTION
A WARNING
- Loose items in the luggage compartment
are a safety hazard: they can move suddenly
and impair the handling of the vehicLe as a
result of the change in weight distribution.
- In an accident or a sudden manoeuvre, loose
objects in the passenger compartment can
be flung forward - risk of injury! Always
stow objects safely in the luggage compart­
ment and secure them on the fastening

rings.
Use suitable securing straps, particu­
larly when transporting heavy objects.
- Transporting heavy objects may affect the
vehicle's handling by shifting the centre of
gravity - this could cause an accident. Take
extra care when driving and adjust your
speed accordingly.
- Never exceed the maximum axle loads or
the maximum gross weight for the vehicLe

^>page
342. Exceeding the permitted axle
loads or gross weight Limit can affect the ve­
hicle's handling characteristics, and increase
the risk of accidents, personal injuries or
damage to the vehicle.
- Never leave your vehicLe unattended when
the boot lid is open. Children could climb in­
to the boot and close the boot lid from the

inside.
In this case the child would be un­
able to get out of the vehicle without help.
This could have fatal consequences.
- Never allow children to play in or around the
vehicle. Always close and lock the boot lid
and all the doors when you leave the
vehi­

cle.

- Never let passengers ride in the luggage
compartment. All occupants must be prop­
erly restrained by the seat belts at all times

•=>
page
27'5.

Make sure that no hard objects chafe against
the wires of the heating element in the rear
window and damage them.
©
Note

- The tyre pressure must be adjusted accord­
ing to the load the vehicle is carrying

<^>page
307.
- Air circulation in the vehicle helps reduce
fogging of the windows. Used air escapes
through ventilation slots in the rear of the
vehicle. Make sure that these ventilation
slots are not obstructed.
- Suitable belts for securing loads to the fas­
tening rings* are commercially available.
Fastening rings
Unsecured loads are a hazard to all vehicle occu­
pants.
There are fastening rings in the luggage com­
partment which can be used to secure luggage
and other objects
^>page
62.

•
Use the fastening rings to secure items safely
in the luggage compartment
<=> A.

During a collision or an accident, even small and
light objects can possess so much energy that
they can cause very severe injuries. The amount
of this "kinetic energy" depends on the speed of
the vehicLe and the weight of the object. The
most significant factor, however, is the speed of
the vehicLe.
For example: an object weighing 4.5 kg is lying
unsecured in the vehicle. During a frontal
colli­

sion at a speed of 50 km/h, this object generates
a force corresponding to 20 times its weight.
That means that the effective weight of the ob­
ject increases to about 90 kg. You can imagine
the severity of the injuries which might be sus­
tained if this "projectile" strikes an occupant as it
flies through the passenger compartment. •
