The glove compartment can be
locked with an integrated key,
refer to page 83. This prevents
access to the glove compart-

After the glove compartment is
locked, the remote control can
be handed over without the inte-
grated key, for instance when
the vehicle is parked by valet
parking.

General information
Safety information
WARNING
Breakable objects, such as glass
bottles or glasses, can break in
the event of an accident or a brak-
ing or evasive maneuver. Broken
glass can be scattered in the car's
interior. There is a risk of injury or
risk of damage to property. Do not
use any breakable objects while
driving. Only stow breakable
objects in closed storage com-
partments.
Cup holders
Safety information
WARNING
Unsuitable containers in the cup
holders may damage the cup
holders or be thrown about the
car’s interior in the event of an
accident, an evasive maneuver,
or forceful braking. Spilled liquids
can distract from the traffic condi-
tions and lead to an accident. Hot
drinks can damage the cup holder
or lead to scalding. There is a risk
of injury or risk of damage to prop-
erty. Do not force objects into the
cup holder. Use lightweight, shat-
terproof, and sealable containers.
Do not transport hot beverages.

regulations must be observed.1Locate the statement “The
combined weight of occu-

Safety information
WARNING
High gross weight can overheat
the tires, damage them internally
and cause a sudden drop in tire
inflation pressure. Driving charac-
teristics may be negatively
impacted, reducing lane stability,
lengthening the braking distances
and changing the steering
response. There is a risk of an
accident. Pay attention to the per-
mitted load capacity of the tires
and never exceed the permitted
gross weight.
WARNING
Loose object or devices with a
cable connection to the vehicle,
for instance mobile phones, can
be thrown about the car’s interior
while driving, for instance in the
event of an accident or during
braking and evasive maneuvers.
There is a risk of injury. Secure
loose objects or devices with a
cable connection to the vehicle in
the car’s interior.
WARNING
Improperly stowed objects can
shift and be thrown into the car’s
interior, for instance in the event
of an accident or during braking
and evasive maneuver. Vehicle
occupants can be hit and injured.
There is a risk of injury. Stow and
secure objects and cargo prop-
erly.
NOTICE
Fluids in the cargo area can
cause damage. There is a risk of
damage to property. Make sure
that no fluids leak in the cargo
area.
Steps for Determining Cor-
rect Load Limit
2483-1. CONTROLS
Attach load securing aids, such
as lashing straps, tensioning
straps, draw straps or cargo
nets, to the lashing eyes in the
cargo area.
There are four lashing eyes in
the cargo area for securing
cargo.
A multi-function hook is located
on the left and right side in the
cargo area.A tensioning strap is available
on the right side trim for fasten-
ing small objects.
Small objects can be stowed in
the net on the left side. To trans-
port larger objects, slide the net
down. Grab the top of the net as
close as possible to the edge
next to the holder. At first, a
resistance must be overcome.

WARNING
Improper use of the multi-function
hooks can lead to a risk of objects
flying about during braking and
evasive maneuvers, for example.
There is a risk of injury and risk of
damage to property. Only hang
lightweight objects, such as shop-
ping bags, from the multi-function
hooks. Only transport heavy lug-
gage in the cargo area if it has
been appropriately secured.

when tires are brand-new; they
achieve their full traction poten-
tial after a break-in time.

General driving notes
Closing the trunk lid
Safety information
WARNING
An open trunk lid protrudes from
the vehicle and can endanger
occupants and other traffic partici-
pants or damage the vehicle in
the event of an accident, braking
or evasive maneuvers. In addi-
tion, exhaust fumes may enter the
car's interior. There is a risk of
injury or risk of damage to prop-
erty. Do not drive with the trunk lid
open.
Ice on window glass
NOTICE
The window will be lowered
slightly when pulling on the door
handle. In the event of frost, the
window may freeze up and not be
lowered. There is a risk of dam-
age to property. When pulling on
the door handle, make sure that
the window is lowered. If neces-
sary, remove snow and ice from
the window. Do not open the door
with force.
Hot exhaust gas system
WARNING
High temperatures can occur
underneath the body, for instance
caused by the exhaust gas sys-
tem, while driving. Contact with
the exhaust gas system can
cause burns. There is a risk of
injury. Do not touch the hot
exhaust gas system, including the
exhaust pipe.
WARNING
If combustible materials, such as
leaves or grass, come in contact
with hot parts of the exhaust gas
system, these materials can
ignite. There is a risk of fire and
injuries. Do not remove the heat
shields installed and never apply
undercoating to them. Make sure
that no combustible materials can
come in contact with hot vehicle
parts in driving operation, idle or
during parking.
2544-1. DRIVING TIPS
When visibility is poor due to
fog, even if it is daytime, turn the
low beam headlights on to make
your vehicle more visible to
other vehicles, etc. Drive with
caution at a low speed, using
the centerline, guardrails, tail-
lights of a preceding vehicle,
etc., as guide.When the vehicle is being blown
by crosswinds, drive at a lower
speed and grip the steering
wheel stronger than normal.
The vehicle is especially sus-
ceptible to crosswinds when
exiting a tunnel or underpass,
when driving on a bridge or
embankment, or when passing
or being passed by a truck or
other large vehicle.
During a rain storm or when
the road surface is wet, the
road surface may be slippery
and visibility may be reduced.
In this case, turn the low
beam headlights on to make
your vehicle more visible to
Mobile communication
devices in the vehicle
WARNING
Vehicle electronics and mobile
phones can influence one
another. There is radiation due to
the transmission operations of
mobile phones. There is a risk of
injury or risk of damage to prop-
erty. If possible, in the car's inte-
rior use only mobile phones with
direct connections to an exterior
antenna in order to exclude
mutual interference and deflect
the radiation from the car's inte-
r i o r.
Driving in inclement
weather
When visibility is poor due to
fog
During strong wind
When it is raining
2564-1. DRIVING TIPS
perforated brake discs can emit
functional noises. However,
functional noises have no effect
on the performance and opera-
tional reliability of the brake.
When roads are wet, salted, or
in heavy rain, gently press the
brake pedal every few miles.
Ensure that this action does not
endanger other traffic.
The heat generated during brak-
ing dries brake discs and brake
pads and protects them against
corrosion.
In this way braking efficiency will
be available when you need it.
■General information
Drive long or steep downhill gra-
dients in the gear that requires
least braking effort. Otherwise,
the brakes may overheat and
reduce brake efficiency.
You can increase the engine's
braking effect by shifting down,
going all the way to first gear, if
needed.
■Safety information
Corrosion on the brake discs
and contamination on the brake
pads are increased by the fol-
lowing circumstances:
Low mileage.
Extended periods when the
vehicle is not used at all.
Objects in the area around
the pedals
WARNING
Objects in the driver's floor area
can limit the peda
l distance or
block a depressed pedal. There is
a risk of an accident. Stow objects
in the vehicle such that they are
secured and cannot enter into the
driver's floor area. Use floor mats
that are suitable for the vehicle
and can be safely attached to the
floor. Do not use loose floor mats
and do not layer several floor
mats. Make sure that there is suf-
ficient clearance for the pedals.
Ensure that the floor mats are
securely fastened again after they
were removed, for instance for
cleaning.
Driving in wet conditions
Hills
WARNING
Light but consistent brake pres-
sure can lead to high tempera-
tures, brakes wearing out and
possibly even brake failure. There
is a risk of an accident. Avoid
placing excessive stress on the
brake system.
WARNING
In idle state or with the engine
switched off, safety functions, for
instance engine braking effect,
braking assistance and steering
assistance, may not be available.
There is a risk of accident. Do not
attempt to drive in idle state or
with the engine switched off.
