Cargo area

Safety grille (option)
04
The safety grille is designed to help prevent
loads or pets from being thrown forward in
the passenger compartment in the event of
sudden braking. For safety reasons, the grille
must always be correctly fastened and se-
cured.
Folding up
If the safety grille is in the way it can be fold-
ed up to the roof:
– Take hold of the bottom of the safety
grille.
– Pull straight backward and upward. Then
release. The gas struts prevent the grille
from dropping down.
92
To fold down the grille, do the reverse.
Removing
Remove the safety grille as follows:
– Fold the rear seat backrest forward slightly
(to relieve the load from the gas struts).
– Remove the caps from the nuts on either
side that secure the safety grille.
– Unscrew the nuts until the threads are
flush with the edge of the nuts.
– Turn the grille backward in the car slightly
to release it from the trim. Do not angle the
grille too much as it can become wedged,
making it difficult to pull out.
– Repeat for the other mounting and then
carefully lift the grille out of the car.
Fitting
To fit the safety grille:
– Follow the instructions in the reverse or-
der.
– Tighten the two nuts to 24 Nm.
If unsure about installing or removing the
safety grille, consult an authorised Volvo
workshop.

side panels. Press the buttons to secure
the cover in place.
