Cargo net* Use of the cargo net is a particularly impor-
tant safety factor when the vehicle is load-
ed higher than the top of the seat
backrests with smaller objects. For your
safety, always use the cargo net when
transporting cargo.
The cargo net can be installed in two
locations:
1 Holder in B-pillar
2 Holder in C-pillar
ț With the cargo compartment expanded
in part (
page 305), use holders
above C-pillars 2 and the cargo
tie-down rings behind the third-row
seat backrest (
page 303).
ț With the cargo compartment fully ex-
panded (
page 306), use holders
above B-pillars 1 and the cargo
tie-down rings in the second-row foot-
well (
page 303).
̈ Open the hook and loop fasteners on
the cargo net package.
̈ Roll out the cargo net.
̈ Unfold the cargo net.
The cargo net bars must audibly
engage.
Warning! G
Make sure the cargo net is properly engaged
top and bottom position and the tightening
belts are securely fastened.
Never use a damaged cargo 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 cargo net when
transporting cargo.
The cargo net cannot prevent the movement
of large, heavier objects into the passenger
compartment in an accident. Such items
must be properly secured using the cargo
tie-down rings (
page 302) in the cargo
compartment floor.
Passenger use of seats behind installed
cargo net is restricted because of the
footwell being taken up by the net.
