Installing and removing the steel cargo grid*
The steel cargo grid prevents loads or pets in the cargo compartment from being thrown forward into the passenger compartment during hard braking.
For safety reasons, the steel grid must always be installed and secured correctly.
Warning
Under no circumstances may a person be in the cargo compartment when the vehicle is moving. Heavy braking or a collision could lead to serious injury.
Installation
Important
The steel cargo grid may only be used in the rear position (behind the rear seat) described here.
Before installing the steel grid, the existing plastic ceiling mounting consoles must be replaced with steel consoles. Volvo recommends that the ceiling consoles are only replaced by an authorized Volvo workshop or retailer.
Fold down the rear seat backrests.
Make sure that the steel grid is facing the right direction. Lift the grid into the vehicle through one of the rear doors.
Position the grid's attachment points in the ceiling consoles.
The next step will be easier if two people hold the steel grid in the right position.
Screw the provided screw into place using the provided 6 mm Allen wrench. Repeat on the other side. Recommended torque: 20 Nm (15 ft-lb).
Check to make sure the steel grid is securely in place.
Return the backrest to the upright position.
For more information on necessary tools and procedures for installing/removing, see the assembly instructions1 provided with the steel grid.
Important
The steel cargo grid cannot be folded up or down when a cargo compartment cover is mounted.
