Notes on loading guidelines
DANGER Risk of poisoning from exhaust gases

Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust gases, such as carbon monoxide. Exhaust gases can enter the vehicle interior if the rear-end door is open when the engine is running, especially if the vehicle is in motion.

Always switch off the engine before opening the rear-end door.
Never drive with the rear-end door open.
WARNING Risk of injury from unsecured objects in the vehicle

When objects are unsecured or inadequately secured, they can slip, tip over or be thrown about, striking vehicle occupants.

This also applies to:

  • luggage or loads

  • seats which have been removed and are being transported in the vehicle in an exceptional case

There is a risk of injury, particularly in the event of braking manoeuvres or abrupt changes in direction.

Always stow objects in such a way that they cannot be tossed about.
Before travelling, secure objects, luggage or load to prevent them slipping or tipping over.
When a seat is removed, keep it preferably outside the vehicle.
WARNING Risk of injury from inadequate stowage of objects

If you do not adequately stow objects in the vehicle interior, they could slip or be tossed around and thereby strike vehicle occupants. In addition, cup holders, open stowage spaces and mobile phone brackets cannot always restrain the objects they contain in the event of an accident.

There is a risk of injury, particularly in the event of sudden braking or a sudden change in direction.

Always stow objects in such a way that they cannot be tossed around in these or similar situations.
Always make sure that objects do not project from stowage spaces, luggage nets or stowage nets.
Close all sealable stowage spaces before you start your journey.
Stow and secure objects that are heavy, hard, pointed, sharp-edged, fragile or too large in the load compartment.
WARNING Risk of burning from the tailpipe or tailpipe trim

The tailpipe and tailpipe trim can become very hot. If you come into contact with these car parts, you could burn yourself.

Always be particularly careful when in the vicinity of the tailpipe and tailpipe trims and supervise children very closely when in this area.
Before any contact, allow the car parts to cool down.

If you are using a roof rack, please note the maximum roof load and the maximum load capacity of the roof rack.

You will find information about the maximum roof load in the "Technical data" chapter and information about roof racks in the "Carrier systems" section .

Camera-based driving systems and the sensor functions of the inside rearview mirror may be impaired if you are transporting a load on the roof and it protrudes more than 40 cm over the edge of the roof. Therefore, make sure that the load does not overhang by more than 40 cm.

The handling characteristics of your vehicle are dependent on the load distribution. Therefore, please observe the following notes when loading:

  • when transporting a load, never exceed the permissible gross mass or the permissible axle loads for the vehicle (including occupants).

  • the load must not protrude above the upper edge of the seat backrests.

  • if possible, always transport the load in the load compartment.

  • fasten the load to the tie-down eyes and spread the load as evenly as possible.

  • use tie-down eyes and fastening components which are suitable for the weight and size of the load.
