Transporting
Driving notes
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Stowing items of luggage
⇒ Driving with an open tailgate
⇒ Driving a loaded vehicle
⇒ Vehicle-specific weight ratings
Heavy objects must always be stowed securely in the luggage compartment and you must ensure
that the rear seat backrests are securely engaged in the upright position. Always use suitable
securing straps with the fastening rings to secure heavy items. Never exceed the vehicle's
maximum payload. Both the payload and the distribution of the load in the vehicle will have an
effect on the driving response and braking distance ⇒.
Additional information and warnings:
•Tailgate ⇒ Tailgate
•Folding the front passenger seat backrest forwards ⇒ Seat functions
•Lights ⇒ Lights
Injuries can be sustained if you do not take care when folding the exterior mirrors in and out.
•Only fold the exterior mirrors in or out when there is nobody in the path of the mirror.
•Always ensure that no fingers are caught between the exterior mirror and the foot of the
mirror when the exterior mirror is moved.
WARNING
Incorrectly estimating the distance to vehicles travelling behind you can cause accidents and
serious injuries.
•Curved mirrors (convex or aspheric) enlarge the field of vision and can make objects in the
mirror seem smaller and further away than they actually are.
•Using curved mirrors to estimate the distance of other vehicles when changing lanes is
inaccurate and can cause accidents and severe injuries.
•Whenever possible, use the interior mirror to check the exact distance away from vehicles
behind or other objects.
•Ensure that you have a good view to the rear of the vehicle.
WARNING
Always fold in exterior mirrors before using an automatic car wash.

Cleaning and changing windscreen wiper blades
Fig. 126 Changing the windscreen wiper blades
Fig. 127 Changing the rear window wiper blade
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
The factory-fitted windscreen wiper blades are coated with graphite. The graphite coating ensures
that the windscreen wiper blade moves quietly over the windscreen. If the graphite coating is
damaged, the windscreen wiper will become louder.
Check the condition of the wiper blades on a regular basis. Rubbing wiper blades should be
changed if damaged or cleaned if dirty ⇒.
Damaged wiper blades should be replaced immediately. Windscreen wiper blades can be bought
from a qualified workshop.
Cleaning windscreen wiper blades
Note for the front windscreen wiper: move the wiper arms to the service position before lifting
them ⇒ Windscreen wiper and washer.
•When lifting a wiper arm hold it only by the wiper blade mounting.
•Clean the windscreen wiper blade carefully using a damp cloth ⇒.
•Place the windscreen wiper arm back onto the windscreen.
Changing the windscreen wiper blades
•Move the wiper arms to the service position before lifting ⇒ Windscreen wiper and washer.
•When lifting a wiper arm hold it only by the wiper blade mounting.
•Press and hold the release button ⇒ Fig. 126① and simultaneously pull off the wiper blade in
the direction of the arrow.
•Insert a new wiper blade with the same length and design onto the wiper arm. Push it on until it
engages.
Dirty or misted windows reduce visibility and increase the risk of accidents and severe
injuries.
•Only drive when you have a clear view through all windows.
•Ice, snow and mist must be removed from the inside and outside of all windows.
WARNING
•Never combine the recommended cleaning agents with other cleaning agents for use in the
windscreen washer fluid. This can cause the ingredients to separate and block the washer
jets.
•Never use warm or hot water to remove snow and ice from windows and mirrors. This can
cause the glass to crack.
•The heating elements for the rear window heater are located on the inside of the rear
window. Never apply stickers over the heating elements and never clean the inside of the
rear window with corrosive or acidic detergents or any other chemicals.
