Vehicle equipment  
WARNING  
Loose objects or devices connected by a cable  
to the vehicle, for example mobile telephones,  
may be thrown around the interior during the  
journey, for example in the event of an accident  
or when braking or carrying out an evasive ma‐  
noeuvre. There is a risk of injury. Ensure that  
loose objects or devices connected by cable to  
the vehicle are secured in place in the interior.  
This chapter describes all standard, country-spe‐  
cific and optional equipment available for the  
model series. It may therefore describe equip‐  
ment and functions which are not installed in  
your vehicle, for example on account of the spe‐  
cial equipment selected or the country specifica‐  
tion. This also applies to safety-relevant func‐  
tions and systems. Please comply with the  
relevant laws and regulations when using the  
corresponding functions and systems.  
WARNING  
Incorrectly stowed objects may slip or be  
thrown into the interior, for example in the  
event of an accident or when braking or carry‐  
ing out an evasive manoeuvre. Vehicle occu‐  
pants could be struck and injured. There is a  
risk of injury. Stow and secure objects and the  
load correctly.  
Loads  
Safety notes  
WARNING  
A high gross vehicle weight can make the tyres  
overheat, causing internal damage and a sud‐  
den loss of tyre inflation pressure. Handling  
characteristics may be adversely affected, for  
example reduced directional stability, longer  
stopping distance and altered steering charac‐  
teristics. There is a risk of accident. Please  
comply with the permitted load index of the  
tyre, and do not exceed the permitted gross ve‐  
hicle weight.  
NOTE  
Liquids in the luggage compartment may cause  
damage. There is a risk of material damage.  
Ensure that no liquids leak out into the luggage  
compartment.  
Stowing and securing loads in  
the vehicle  
Wrap protective material around any sharp  
corners and edges on the load.  
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 risk of accident. Do not exceed the permitted  
total weight and permitted axle loads.  
Heavy loads: stow as far forward and as low  
down as possible, ideally directly behind the  
rear backrests.  
Very heavy loads: stow as far forward as pos‐  
sible, low down and directly behind the rear  
seat backrests. If there are no passengers on

General  
Do not stack load items above the upper  
edge of the backrests.  
Use the luggage net, see page 252, to pro‐  
tect the vehicle's occupants. Make sure that  
objects cannot penetrate the luggage net.  
Small and lightweight loads: secure with re‐  
taining straps, a luggage net or other suitable  
straps.  
Large and heavy loads: secure with lashing  
straps.  
There is a bag holder on the left and right side in  
the luggage compartment.  
Lashing eyes in the  
luggage compartment  
Safety note  
General  
Load-securing equipment, for example lashing  
straps, tensioning straps or luggage nets, must  
be secured to the lashing eyes in the boot.  
WARNING  
Incorrect use of the bag holders can present a  
danger, for example if objects are flung around  
in the event of braking and evasive manoeu‐  
vres. There is a risk of injury and material dam‐  
age. Only hang light objects, for example shop‐  
ping bags, on the bag holders. Only transport  
heavy luggage in the luggage compartment if  
suitably secured.  
Lashing eyes  
Tensioning strap  
There is a tensioning strap on the left-hand trim  
panel for securing small objects.  
Depending on the vehicle equipment, there will

Extending the luggage  
compartment  
WARNING  
If the seat is not adjusted properly or the child  
seat has been installed incorrectly, the child re‐  
straint system may have limited stability or may  
not be stable at all. There is a risk of injury or  
even death. Make sure that the child restraint  
system rests firmly against the backrest. Wher‐  
ever possible, adapt the backrest angle of all  
the relevant seat backrests and adjust the seats  
correctly. Make sure that the seats and their  
backrests are correctly engaged or locked. If  
possible, adjust the height of the head re‐  
straints, or remove them.  
Principle  
Depending on the equipment fitted, the luggage  
compartment can be enlarged as follows:  
The rear backrests can be folded down.  
The rear backrests can be placed in the  
cargo position to achieve an upright loading  
position.  
General  
The rear backrest is split 60–40. The left-hand  
rear backrest is connected to the middle part.  
WARNING  
With load-through system: the rear backrest is  
separated in the ratio 40–20–40. The side rear  
backrests and the middle part can be folded  
down individually.  
Once the rear backrest has been folded down,  
the locking bracket protrudes into the interior.  
There is a risk of material damage. When the  
rear seat backrest is folded down, watch out for  
the protruding locking bracket and keep this  
area clear.  
The rear backrests can be folded down from the
