Vehicle equipment
This chapter describes all standard, country-spe‐
cific and special equipment available for the
model series. Therefore equipment which is not
installed in your vehicle, for example on account
of the optional equipment selected or the coun‐
try specification, may also be described here.
This also applies to safety-relevant functions and
systems. Comply with the relevant laws and reg‐
ulations when using the corresponding functions
and systems.
Loads
Safety notes
WARNING
A high gross vehicle weight can cause the tyres
to overheat, causing internal damage and a
sudden loss of tyre inflation pressure. The driv‐
ing characteristics can be negatively influenced,
for example reduced directional stability, longer
braking distance and modified steering charac‐
teristics. There is a danger of accidents. Com‐
ply with the permitted load index of the tyre,
and do not exceed the permitted gross vehicle
weight.
WARNING
If the permitted total weight and the permitted
axle loads are exceeded, the operational safety
of the vehicle is no longer guaranteed. There is
a danger of accidents. Do not exceed the per‐
mitted total weight and permitted axle loads.
WARNING
Loose objects or devices connected by a cable
to the vehicle, for example mobile telephones,
can be thrown through the interior during the
journey, for example in an accident or during
braking and evasive manoeuvres. There is a
danger of injury. Ensure that loose objects or
devices connected by cable to the vehicle are
secured in place in the interior.
WARNING
Incorrectly stowed objects can slip or be
thrown into the interior, for example in an acci‐
dent, during braking or evasive manoeuvres.
Vehicle occupants could be hit and injured.
There is a danger of injury. Stow and secure
the objects and the load correctly.
NOTE
Liquids in the boot may cause damage. There
is a danger of damage to property. Ensure that
no liquids leak out into the boot.
Stowing and securing a
transported load
▷ Wrap protective material around any sharp
corners and edges on the load.
▷ Heavy transported loads: stow as far forward
and as low down as possible, ideally directly
behind the rear backrests.
▷ Very heavy transported loads: stow as far for‐
ward and as low down as possible, ideally di‐
rectly behind the rear backrests. If there are
no passengers on the back seat, insert both
outer seat belts into the respective opposite
buckles.
