Additional information:
Vehicle equipment
Antilock Braking System
Principle
The Antilock Braking System prevents locking of the wheels during braking.
The vehicle maintains its steerability even dur-ing emergency braking, which increases the active driving safety.
The Antilock Braking System is ready after each time drive readiness is turned on.
Brake assistant
The brake assistant applies maximum brak-ing assistance when the brake is depressed quickly. It reduces the braking distance to a minimum during emergency braking. The ad-vantages of the Antilock Braking System are thereby utilized.
Do not reduce the pressure on the brake pedal for the duration of emergency braking.
Adaptive brake assistant
In combination with Cruise Control with Dis-tance Control, this system ensures that the brakes respond even more rapidly with brake actuation in critical situations.
Drive-off assistant
Principle
The drive-off assistant supports driving off on uphill grades.
Driving off
- Hold the vehicle in place with the foot brake.
- Release the foot brake and drive off without delay.
After the foot brake is released, the vehicle is held in place for approx. 2 seconds.
Depending on the vehicle loading, the vehicle may roll back slightly.
Dynamic Stability Control
Principle
Dynamic Stability Control helps to keep the vehicle on a steady course by reducing drive power and by brake interventions on individual wheels.
General information
The system detects the following unstable driving conditions, for instance:
- Skidding, which can lead to oversteering.
- Loss of adhesion of the front wheels, which can lead to understeering.
Safety information
Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute for the driver’s personal judgment in assessing the traffic situation. Based on the limits of the system, it cannot independently react to all traffic situations. There is a risk of accident. Adjust driving style to traffic condi-tions. Watch the surrounding traffic situation closely, be ready to take over steering and braking at any time, and actively intervene where appropriate.
Warning
When driving with a roof load, for instance with roof-mounted luggage rack, the vehicle’s center of gravity is higher, which increases the risk of the vehicle tipping in critical driving situations. There may be a risk of accident or risk of damage to property. Drive with roof load only with activated Dynamic Stability Control.

Loading
Safety information
Warning
High gross vehicle weight can overheat the tires, damage them internally and cause
a sudden tire pressure loss. Driving char-acteristics may be negatively impacted, re-ducing directional stability, lengthening the braking distances and changing the steering response. There is a risk of accident. Pay attention to the permitted load-carrying ca-pacity of the tires and never exceed the per-mitted gross vehicle weight.
Warning
Devices connected to the vehicle via a cable, such as mobile phones or loose objects, can be thrown through the vehicle interior while driving, such as in the event of an accident, braking or evasive maneuver. There is a risk of injury. Secure loose objects or devices that are connected to the vehicle via a cable.
Warning
Improperly stowed objects can slip and be thrown into the car’s interior, for instance in the event of an accident, braking or an eva-sive maneuver. Vehicle occupants can be hit and injured. There is a risk of injury. Stow and secure objects and cargo properly.
NOTICE
Fluids in the cargo area can cause damage. There is a risk of damage to property, among other potential damage. Make sure that no fluids leak in the cargo area.
Steps for determining correct load limit
- Locate the statement “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs” on your vehicle’s placard.
- Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle.
- Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs
- The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load ca-pacity. For example, if the “XXX” amount equals 1,400 lbs and there will be five 150 lbs passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs (1,400 – 750 (5 x
150) = 650 lbs) - Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4.
- If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.
Payload
The maximum payload is the sum of the weight of the occupants and the cargo.
The greater the weight of the occupants, the less cargo that can be transported.
Stowing and securing cargo
- Cover sharp edges and corners on the cargo.
- Heavy cargo: stow as far forward as possible, directly behind and at the bottom of the rear seat backrests.
Very heavy cargo: stow as far forward as possible, directly behind and at the bottom of the rear seat backrests. When the rear seat is not occupied, secure each of the outer seat belts in the opposite buckle. - If necessary, fold down the rear backrests to stow large cargo.
- Do not stack cargo above the upper edge of the backrests.
- Small and light cargo: secure with luggage straps or, depending on the equipment, with a cargo net or draw straps.
- Larger and heavy cargo: secure with cargo straps.
