Installation

CAUTION

cargo grid*

When in the loading position, the cargo

compartment cover can obstruct visibility

to the rear. Make sure that the cargo com-

partment cover is fully extended or fully

retracted during driving.

The steel cargo grid prevents loads or pets in

the cargo compartment from being thrown

forward into the passenger compartment

during hard braking.

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 recom-

mends that the ceiling consoles are only

replaced by an authorized Volvo workshop or

retailer.

Retracting the cover

1. From the fully opened position:

Lift the cover's handle and pull it rearward

to release the cover's attaching pins from

the grooves. Let the cover retract.

From the partially retracted position:

1. Fold down the rear seat backrests.

Grasp the handle and pull the cover out of

the groves to the fully open position. Lift

the handle and pull it rearward to release

the cover's attaching pins from the

grooves. Let the cover retract.

2. Make sure that the steel grid is facing the

right direction. Lift the grid into the vehicle

through one of the rear doors.

For safety reasons, the steel grid must always

be installed and secured correctly.

2. Let the cover retract with its attaching

pins above the side panels until it stops in

the fully retracted position.

WARNING

Under no circumstances may a person be

in the cargo compartment when the vehi-

cle is moving. Heavy braking or a collision

could lead to serious injury.

net*

Objects in the cargo compartment must

always be securely anchored, even with a

correctly installed cargo net.

The cargo net helps prevent objects in the

cargo compartment from entering the pas-

senger compartment in the event of a sudden

stop or hard braking.

The telescopic spring-loaded hooks make

mounting easier.

Installing the cargo net

WARNING

Make sure that the net's hooks are pushed

forward as far as possible into their

respective mounting points.

The cargo net is attached at four points.

All of the cargo net's upper consoles,

hooks and straps must be securely moun-

ted and attached before the net is used.

Never use the net if it is damaged.

NOTE

With front mounting, the cargo net is most

easily installed via a rear door.

1. Fold out the cargo net and make sure that

the upper rod folds out and locks into

position.

For safety reasons, the cargo net must always

be mounted and secured according to the fol-

lowing description.

2. Insert one of the net's hooks into the front

or rear ceiling mounting point with the

strap lock facing you.

The net is made of strong nylon weave and

can be attached in two different locations in

the vehicle:

Rear mounting - behind the rear seats.

Front mounting - behind the front seats.

ceiling mounting points, attach the net's

straps into the front cargo anchoring eye-

lets in the cargo compartment.
