Safety net*

Updated 08/06/2023

A safety net prevents loads from being thrown forward in the passenger compartment in the event of sudden braking.

The safety net that is fitted in four mounting points is available in two versions.

P3-835-xc60 Cargo net — Safety net, version 1.

P3-1346-XC60 Cargo net — Safety net, version 2.

A safety net prevents loads or pets from being thrown forward in the passenger compartment in the event of sudden braking. For safety reasons, the safety net must always be correctly fastened and secured.

The net is made of a strong nylon fabric and can be secured two different locations in the car:

Rear fitting - Behind the rear seat backrest
Front fitting - Behind the front seat backrests.

Warning

Loads in the luggage compartment must be anchored well, and also using a correctly fitted safety net.

Attachment, version 1

Note

The easiest way to fit the safety net is via one of the rear doors.

Warning

It is necessary to ensure that the upper securing points of the safety net are fitted correctly and that the tensioning straps are secured properly.

Damaged nets must not be used.

Unfold the safety net and make sure that the split upper rod is locked in extended position.

Hook one end of the rod into the front or rear roof mounting with the anchoring strap locks turned towards you.

Hook the other end of the rod into the roof mounting on the opposite side - the telescopic spring-loaded retaining hooks facilitate alignment.

Take care to press forward the rod's retaining hooks for each respective roof mounting's front end position.

P3-835-xc60 Cargo net Mount point Back — Rear fitting.

Rear fitting: With the net fitted in the rear roof mountings, hook the safety net's anchoring straps into the front floor eyes in the cargo area.

P3-835-xc60 Cargo net Mount point Front — Front fitting.

Front fitting: With the net fitted in the front roof mountings, hook the safety net's anchoring straps into the eyes on the rear of the seat slide rails - it is easier if the backrests are straightened and the seats are moved forward slightly.

Pay attention to make sure that you do not press the seat/backrest hard against the net when the seat/backrest is moved back again - only adjust until the seat/backrest makes contact with the net.

Important

If the seat/backrest is pressed hard backwards against the safety net then the net and/or its roof mountings could be damaged.

Tension the safety net with the anchoring straps.

Removal and storage, version 1

P3-835-xc60 Cargo net Folding — The safety net can be easily removed and folded up.

Release the tension in the net by pressing in the button on the anchoring strap's lock and feeding out part of the strap.

Press in the catch and detach both of the anchoring strap's hooks.

Break the rod in the centre, fold it together and roll up the net.

The folded safety net can be stored under the cargo compartment floor.
