Installing and removing the cargo net*

The cargo net helps prevent objects in the cargo compartment from entering the passenger compartment in the event of a sudden stop or hard braking.

The cargo net is attached in four attachment points and, for safety reasons, must always be attached and secured as described below. The net is most easily installed via the rear doors.

The cargo net is made of a strong nylon weave and secured behind the front seats.

Installing the cargo net

 Warning

Make sure that the cargo net's upper attachments are correctly mounted and that the straps are hooked securely into place.

Never use the net if it is damaged.

Fold out the cargo net with the upper hooks facing upwards.
Insert one of the net's hooks into the ceiling bracket with the strap lock facing you.

Insert the net's other upper hook into the ceiling bracket on the opposite side.

Make sure that the net's hooks are pushed forward as far as possible into their respective ceiling brackets.

Pull the straps until the cargo net is taut.

With the net mounted in the ceiling brackets, hook the straps into the outer eyelets on the seat rails behind the seats. Attaching the net is easier if the seat backrests are upright and the seats are moved slightly forward.

Installation of cargo net

When moving the seat and backrest back again, make sure to not apply too much pressure against the net. Move the seat or backrest only until it touches the net.

 Important

If a seat or backrest is pressed with too much force back against the cargo net, the net and its ceiling brackets could be damaged.

Removing the cargo net

The cargo net can be easily removed and folded up.
Loosen the cargo net by pressing the button on the strap locks on each side and pulling to allow some slack.
Press in the catches and release both of the strap hooks.
Unhook the upper hooks and remove the net from the ceiling brackets.
Fold and roll up the net. Then store it in its case.
