Installing and removing the cargo net*

Updated 2024-10-17

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 at four points.

For safety reasons, the cargo net must always be mounted and secured according to the following description.

The net is made of strong nylon weave and can be attached in two different locations in the vehicle:

Front mounting – behind the front seats.
Rear mounting – behind the rear seats.

Warning

Objects in the cargo compartment must always be securely anchored, even with a correctly installed cargo net.

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.

Note

With front mounting, the cargo net is most easily installed via the rear doors.

Fold out the cargo net with the upper hooks facing upwards.

Insert one of the net's hooks into the front or rear 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.

For front mounting:

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

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.

Pull the straps until the cargo net is taut.

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 up the net and store it in its case.

Replace clothing hooks, if desired.
