The protective grille in the cargo area pre-
vents cargo or pets from being thrown for-
ward in the passenger compartment in the
event of heavy braking.
For reasons of safety, the protective grille
must always be mounted and secured cor-
rectly.
Fit the protective grille as follows:
– Lift in the protective grille through the
tailgate opening or one of the rear door-
ways (fold down the seats in the second
row if necessary).
– Insert one of the protective grille mount-
ings in its bracket above the rear door
behind the second row of seats.

and slide it to the front position.
– Insert the attaching brace through the
lower mounting in the protective grille
from underneath, as indicated in the illus-
tration.
– Fit the spring on the attaching brace and
screw in the knob.
– Fit the attaching brace hook in load secur-
ing eyelet and tighten the knob until the
attaching brace takes hold in the load
securing eyelet.
– Do the same on the other side.
– Tighten both attaching braces alternately.
– Fit protective caps on the exposed screw
threads above the knobs.

For cars seating seven: For reasons of safe-
ty, no passengers should sit in the third row
