LOADING AND STORAGE
Tunnel console - 12 V-sockets
The electrical sockets (12 V) are located in the
tunnel console's storage compartment and
beside the cup holder.
Loading
Payload depends on the car's kerb weight.
NOTE
Optional equipment and accessories - e.g.
display screens, music players and mobile
phones - which are connected to one of the
passenger compartment's 12V electrical
sockets could be activated by the climate
control system, even when the remote control
key has been removed or when the car is
locked, for example, when the engine block
and passenger compartment heater* is acti-
vated at a preset time.
Payload depends on the car's kerb weight. The
total of the weight of the passengers and all
accessories reduces the car's payload by a cor-
responding weight.
For more detailed information on weights, see
Weights (p. 390).
The tailgate is opened via a button on
the lighting panel or the remote control
key, see Locking/unlocking - tailgate
(p. 172).
For this reason remove the plugs from the
electrical sockets for optional equipment or
accessories when not in use because the bat-
tery could be drained in the event of such an
occurrence!
WARNING
The car’s driving properties change depend-
ing on the weight and positioning of the load.
