Cargo area

Vehicle features and op‐

tions

This chapter describes all standard, country-

specific and optional features offered with the

series. It also describes features that are not

necessarily available in your vehicle, e. g., due

to the selected options or country versions. This

also applies to safety-related functions and sys‐

tems. When using these functions and systems,

the applicable laws and regulations must be

observed.

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 permit‐

ted load capacity of the tires and never exceed

the permitted gross weight.◀

WARNING

Loose objects or devices with a cable

connection to the vehicle, e.g., mobile phones,

can be thrown into the vehicle's interior while

driving, e.g., in the event of an accident or dur‐

ing braking and evasive maneuvers. There is a

risk of injury. Secure loose objects or devices

with a cable connection to the vehicle in the

vehicle's interior.

◀

WARNING

Improperly stowed objects can shift and

be thrown into the vehicle's interior, e.g., in the

event of an accident or during braking and eva‐

sive maneuvers. Vehicle occupants can be hit

and injured. There is a risk of injury. Stow and

secure objects and cargo properly.◀

NOTE

Fluids in the cargo area can cause dam‐

age. There is a risk of property damage. Make

sure that no fluids leak in the cargo area.◀

Steps for Determining Correct Load

Limit

Locate the statement “The combined

weight of occupants and cargo should

never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your

vehicle’s placard.

2. Determine the combined weight of the

driver and passengers that will be riding in

your vehicle.

3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver

and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs.

4. The resulting figure equals the available

amount of cargo and luggage load ca‐

pacity. For example, if the “XXX” amount

equals 1,400 lbs. and there will be five

150 lb passengers 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.

Load

On 3-door models

On 5-door models

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.

Stowing and securing cargo

Cover sharp edges and corners on the

cargo.

▷ Heavy cargo: stow as far forward as possi‐

ble, directly behind and at the bottom of

the rear passenger seat backrests.

occupied, secure each of the outer safety

belts in the opposite buckle.

▷ If necessary, fold down the rear backrests

to stow cargo.

▷ Do not stack cargo above the top edge of

the backrests.

▷ Small and light cargo: secure with ratchet

straps or draw straps.
