Safety net
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
On its own, the safety 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 lashing material, even if you are using
the safety net.
It is important to use a safety net if you load the
vehicle with small objects above the seat backr-
ests. For safety reasons, always use a safety net
when transporting a load.
Damaged safety nets can no longer fulfil their
protective function and must be replaced. Visit a
qualified specialist workshop.

net:
