Heavy objects, objects with sharp edges or
fragile objects may not be transported in
the parcel net. In an accident, during hard
braking, or sudden maneuvers, they could
be thrown around inside the vehicle and
cause injury to vehicle occupants.
The parcel net cannot protect transported
goods in the event of an accident.
Parcel nets are located in the front passenger
footwell and on each of the front seat
backrests.
