DANGER Risk of poisoning from exhaust

gases

Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust

gases, such as carbon monoxide. Exhaust

gases can enter the vehicle interior if the rear-

end door is open when the engine is running,

especially if the vehicle is in motion.

Always switch o the engine before

opening the rear-end door.

Never drive with the rear-end door open.

WARNING Risk of injury from unsecured

items in the vehicle

If objects, luggage or loads are not secured or

not secured suciently, they could slip, tip

Seats and stowing

over or be thrown around and thereby hit vehi-

cle occupants.

There is a risk of injury, particularly in the

event of sudden braking or a sudden change

in direction.

Always stow objects in such a way that

they cannot be thrown around.

Before the journey, secure objects, lug-

gage or loads against slipping or tipping

over.

WARNING Risk of injury due to objects

being stowed incorrectly

If objects in the vehicle interior are stowed

incorrectly, they can slide or be thrown around

and hit vehicle occupants. In addition, cup

holders, open storage spaces and mobile

phone brackets cannot always retain all

objects they contain.

There is a risk of injury, particularly in the

event of sudden braking or a sudden change

in direction.

Always stow objects in such a way that

they cannot be thrown around in such

situations.

Always make sure that objects do not

protrude from storage spaces, parcel

nets or storage nets.

Close the lockable storage spaces before

starting a journey.

Always stow and secure heavy, hard,

pointed, sharp-edged, fragile or bulky

objects in the trunk.

WARNING Risk of burns from the tailpipe

and tailpipe trims

The exhaust tailpipe and tailpipe trims can

become very hot. If you come into contact

with these parts of the vehicle, you could burn

yourself.

Always be particularly careful around the

tailpipe and the tailpipe trims and super-

vise children especially closely in this

area.

Allow vehicle parts to cool down before

touching them.

Driving, braking and steering characteristics

change depending on:

type of load

weight

the center of gravity of the load

The gross vehicle weight (GVW) is the vehicle

weight including fuel, vehicle tool kit, spare wheel,

accessories installed, vehicle occupants, luggage

and load.

Do not exceed the maximum permissible payload

weight or permissible gross mass (GVWR) for your

vehicle. The maximum permissible payload weight

and GVWR are given on the vehicle identication

plate found on the driver's door B-pillar.

Furthermore, the load must be distributed in such

a way that the weight on each axle never exceeds

the maximum gross axle weight rating (GAWR) for

the front and rear axles. The relevant GVWR and

GAWR information can be found on the vehicle

identication plate on the driver's side B-pillar.

Seats and stowing

Bear the following in mind when loading and

transporting loads:

Do not exceed the permissible total mass or

the gross axle weight rating of the vehicle

(including load and occupants). The values are

specied on the vehicle identication plate on

the vehicle's B-pillar.

Position heavy loads as far forwards as possi-

ble and as low down in the cargo compart-

ment as possible.

If possible, always transport loads in the cargo

compartment. Only use the cargo compart-

ment enlargement if the load does not t in

the cargo compartment.

Always place the load against the backrests of

the front seats or rear seats.

Secure the load using the cargo tie-down rings

and distribute the load evenly.

Use cargo tie-down rings and fastening com-

ponents that are suitable for the weight and

size of the load.

If the rear bench seat is not occupied:

Insert the seat belts into seat belt buckles of

the opposite seat belt in a diagonal pattern.

Secure the load with suciently tear-resistant

and wear-resistant tie-downs.

Pad sharp edges for protection.
