If a trailer is electrically connected to a factory-fitted towing bracket, Rear Traffic Alert is switched off. After disconnecting the
electrical trailer connection, Rear Traffic Alert is automatically switched on again.
Rear Traffic Alert must be switched off and on manually if a non-factory-fitted towing bracket is used.
WARNING
Loose objects may be flung through the vehicle interior in the event of a sudden driving or braking manoeuvre. This can lead to loss
of control over the vehicle and cause accidents and serious or fatal injuries.
● Stow objects only in closed stowage compartments.
● Always keep stowage compartments closed while the vehicle is in motion.
● Do not place mobile devices or similar objects in the stowage system of the rear centre armrest while the vehicle is in motion.
● The coat hooks in the vehicle should only be used for lightweight clothing weighing max. 2.5 kg (approx. 5.5 lbs).
● Never leave any heavy, hard or sharp objects in the pockets of clothing.
WARNING
Incorrect use of the drink holders can cause injury. While driving, in the event of a sudden braking manoeuvre or in the event of an
accident, objects located in the drink holder can be flung about the vehicle and hot drinks spilled. This can cause serious injuries and
serious scalding.
● Place only soft, break-proof and closed containers in the drink holder.
● Integrated stowage systems in the rear centre armrest must always be used in the locked end positions.
● Never place hot drinks in a drink holder.
● Make sure that only drinks of the appropriate size are placed in the drink holder. Drinks must always be stored securely in the drink
holder.
WARNING
If the glove box is open while driving, objects could be flung through the vehicle interior. This can lead to loss of control over the
vehicle and cause accidents and serious or fatal injuries.
● Always keep the glove box closed while the vehicle is in motion.
WARNING
Any lighters in the vehicle could be damaged or lit without being noticed, for example by high surface temperatures. This could lead
to serious burns and other injuries.
● Before closing stowage areas or compartments always make sure that there is no lighter in the way.
● Never stow lighters in stowage areas or compartments or on other surfaces in the vehicle.
WARNING
Closed drink bottles can explode in the vehicle in extreme heat or burst in extremely cold temperatures and cause serious injuries.
● Never leave closed drink bottles in an extremely hot or extremely cold vehicle for extended periods.
NOTICE
Objects kept in the vehicle could be damaged or could cause damage to the vehicle when exposed to strong sunlight or the effects of
heat or cold.
● Do not stow any temperature-sensitive objects, food or medicines inside the vehicle.
● Please note that objects made of translucent materials, e.g. transparent suction pads on the windows, concentrate sunlight.
NOTICE
Depending on equipment, the rear centre armrest may have a stowage system. Folding in the rear centre armrest when the stowage
system is open can damage the drink holder.
● Before folding in the rear centre armrest, make sure that any objects have been removed and that the integrated stowage systems
are closed or folded in.
