The detection of objects with
ultrasound measurements can
run into physical limits, e.g., in
the following situations:
• In case of dirty sensors.
• In case of covered sensors, such as due to labels.
• If the sensor is not aligned correctly, for instance due to
parking damage.
• After improperly performed work on the vehicle paint in
the area of the sensors.
• For small children and ani- mals.
• For persons with certain cloth- ing, for instance coats.
• In case of external interfer- ence of the ultrasound, for
instance from passing vehi- cles, loud machines or other
ultrasonic sources.
• Under certain weather condi- tions, e.g., high relative
humidity, wet conditions,
snowfall, cold, extreme heat,
or strong wind.
• With tow bars and trailer cou- plings of other vehicles.
• With thin or wedge-shaped objects.
• With moving objects.
• With elevated, protruding objects such as ledges.
• With objects with corners, edges, and smooth surfaces.
• With objects with a fine sur- face structure such as fences.
• For objects with porous sur- faces.
• With small and low objects, for instance boxes.
• With soft obstacles or obsta- cles covered in foam material.
• With plants and bushes.
• In automatic car washes.
• On uneven surfaces, such as speed bumps.
• Due to heavy exhaust.
• Cargo that extends beyond the perimeter of the vehicle is
not taken into account by the
ultrasonic sensors.
If applicable, a Check Control
message is displayed if the sys-
tem fails.

motion sensor can trigger an
alarm, although no unauthorized
action occurred.
Possible situations for an
unwanted alarm:
• In automatic vehicle washes.
• In duplex garages.
• During transport on trains car-rying vehicles, at sea or on a
trailer.
• With animals in the vehicle.
• When the vehicle is locked after start of fueling.
The tilt alarm sensor and the
interior motion sensor can be
switched off in such situations.
The indicator light lights up for
approx. 2 seconds and then
continues to flash.
The tilt alarm sensor and interior
motion sensor are switched off
until the vehicle is locked again.
• Unlock the vehicle with the remote control.
• Unlock the vehicle with the integrated key and activate
the drive-ready state via
emergency detection of the vehicle key, refer to page 85.
• With Smart Key System: when carrying the vehicle key,
grasp the driver’s door or front
passenger door handle com-
pletely.
The windows can be opened
with the vehicle key from the
outside as well as closed with
Smart Key System.

3Subtract the combined
weight of the driver and pas-
sengers from XXX kg or XXX
lbs.
4 The resulting figure equals
the available amount of cargo
and luggage load capacity.
For example, if the “XXX”
amount equals 1,400 lbs and
there will be five 150 lbs pas-
sengers in your vehicle, the
amount of available cargo
and luggage load capacity is
650 lbs (1,400–750 (5 x 150)
= 650 lbs).
5 Determine the combined
weight of luggage and cargo
being loaded on the vehicle.
That weight may not safely
exceed the available cargo
and luggage load capacity
calculated in Step 4.
6 If your vehicle will be towing
a trailer, load from your trailer
will be transferred to your
vehicle. Consult this manual
to determine how this
reduces the available cargo
and luggage load capacity of
your vehicle. The maximum load is the sum of
the weight of the occupants and
the cargo.
The greater the weight of the
occupants, the less cargo that
can be transported.
Cover sharp edges and cor-
ners on the cargo.
Heavy cargo: stow as far for-
ward and as low as possible,
ideally directly behind the
cargo partition.
Smaller and lighter cargo:
secure with ratchet straps or
with a cargo net or draw
straps.
Larger and heavy cargo:
secure with cargo straps.
