̈ With the cargo compartment cover
installed behind third-row seats, insert
extension guide rail 5 into
mounting 6.
̈ Push extension into mounting 6 as far

Partition net* Use of the partition net is a particularly im-
portant safety factor when the vehicle is
loaded higher than the top of the seat
backrests with smaller objects.
The partition net can be installed in two lo-
cations:
1 Holder in B-pillar
2 Holder in C-pillar
ț With the cargo compartment expanded
in part (
page 283), use holders
above C-pillars 2 and the cargo
tie-down rings in the third-row footwell
(
page 282).
Warning! G
Make sure the partition net is properly en-
gaged top and bottom position and the tight-
ening belts are securely fastened.
Never use a damaged partition net.
To help avoid personal injury from smaller
objects being thrown around in the occu-
pant compartment during a collision or sud-
den maneuver, always use partition net
when transporting cargo.
The partition net cannot prevent the move-
ment of large, heavier objects into the pas-
senger compartment in an accident. Such
items must be properly secured using the
cargo tie-down rings in the cargo compart-
ment floor (
page 281).
Passenger use of seats behind installed par-
tition net is restricted because of the foot-
well being taken up by the net.
