Loading guidelines

WARNING

If objects, luggage or loads are not secured or

not secured sufficiently, they could slip, tip

over or be flung around and thereby hit vehicle

occupants. There is a risk of injury, particu-

larly in the event of sudden braking or a sud-

den change in direction.

Always store objects so that they cannot be

flung around. Secure objects, luggage or

loads against slipping or tipping before the

journey.

WARNING

Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust

gases such as carbon monoxide. If the tailgate

is open when the engine is running, particu-

larly if the vehicle is moving, exhaust fumes

could enter the passenger compartment.

There is a risk of poisoning.

Turn off the engine before opening the tail-

gate. Never drive with the tailgate open.

WARNING

The exhaust tail pipe and tail pipe trim can

become very hot. If you come into contact

with these parts of the vehicle, you could burn

yourself. There is a risk of injury.

Always be particularly careful around the

exhaust tail pipe and the tail pipe trim. Allow

these components to cool down before touch-

ing them.

The gross vehicle weight (GVW) is the vehicle

weight including fuel, vehicle tool kit, spare

wheel, installed accessories, vehicle occupants

and luggage/cargo.

Do not exceed the load limit or permitted gross

vehicle weight rating (GVWR) for your vehicle.

The gross load limit and the GVWR are specified

on the vehicle identification plate on the B-pillar

of the driver's door (

Y page 356).

The load must also be distributed so that the

weight on each axle never exceeds the gross

axle weight rating (GAWR) for the front and rear

axles. The specifications for GVWR and GAWR

are on the vehicle identification plate on the B-

pillar of the driver's door (

Y page 356).

Observe the notes on loading the vehicle

(

Y page 356).

The handling characteristics of a laden vehicle

are dependent on the distribution of the load

within the vehicle. For this reason, you should

observe the following notes when transporting a

load:

Never exceed the maximum permissible

gross vehicle mass or the gross axle weight

rating for the vehicle (including occupants).

The cargo compartment is the preferred place

to carry objects.

Position heavy loads as far forwards as pos-

sible and as low down in the cargo compart-

ment as possible.

The load must not protrude above the upper

edge of the seat backrests.

Always place the load against the rear or front

seat backrests. Make sure that the seat

backrests are securely locked into place.

Always place the load behind unoccupied

seats if possible.

Use the cargo tie-down rings and the parcel

nets to transport loads and luggage.

Use cargo tie-down rings and fastening mate-

rials appropriate for the weight and size of the

load.

Secure the load with sufficiently strong and

wear-resistant tie-downs. Pad sharp edges for

protection.

Important safety notes

WARNING

If you transport objects in the vehicle interior

and these are not adequately secured, they

could slip or be flung around and thereby

strike vehicle occupants. In addition, cup

holders, open stowage spaces and mobile

phone brackets may not always be able to

hold the objects placed in them in the event of

an accident. There is a risk of injury, particu-

larly in the event of sharp braking or sudden

changes of direction.
