tance. Heavy objects that are not properly  
placed or secured may cause loss of con-

WARNING  
Storing objects  
Loose or unsecured objects can cause seri-  
ous injury in case of sudden manoeuvring  
or braking or in case of an accident. Partic-

the vehicle. Please observe the following  
rules to minimise the risk of injury:

effects on the driving behaviour and brak-  
ing ability.

WARNING  
Incorrect attachment and use of the cross-

On opening the rear lid make sure that it  
does not knock into the roof load.

Always take the manufacturer assembly  
instructions into account.  
When cross bars and a roof carrier system

Depending on the equipment and the coun-  
try, the vehicle may also have USB connec-  
tions exclusively for charging or as a power  
socket.  
The ignition is switched off, but  
there is enough power available  
to continue supplying the socket  
with current for a maximum of 10  
minutes. If the connector is un-  
plugged before this time elap-  
ses, the socket is disconnected  
and cannot be used again until  
the ignition is switched on again.
