Cargo net*

Use of the cargo net is a particularly
important safety factor when the vehicle is
loaded 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 behind B-pillar
2 Holder behind C-pillar

Warning!

G

Make sure the cargo net is properly engaged

at top and bottom position and the tighten-

ing 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

sudden 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 in the cargo compartment

floor (

page 290).

Passenger use of seats behind installed

cargo net is restricted because of the foot-

well being taken up by the net.
