Important safety notes
G WARNING
On its own, the cargo net cannot secure or
restrain heavy objects, items of luggage and
heavy loads. You could be hit by an unsecured
load during sudden changes in direction,
braking or in the event of an accident. There is
an increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Always store objects so that they cannot be
flung around. Secure objects, luggage or
loads against slipping or tipping over, e.g. by
using tie downs, even if you are using the
cargo net.
It is important to use a cargo net if you load
the vehicle with small objects above the seat
backrests. For safety reasons, always use a
cargo net when transporting loads.
Damaged cargo nets can no longer fulfill their
protective function and must be replaced.
Visit a qualified specialist workshop.

net:
with cargo compartment enlargement: the
R
brackets are behind the B‑pillar and the
cargo tie-down rings to tension the net are
on the sides of the rear-compartment foot-
well.
without cargo compartment enlargement:
R
the brackets are behind the C-pillar and the
cargo tie-down rings to tension the net are
in the cargo compartment ( page 285).
