Partition net*

Use of the partition net is a particularly 
important safety factor when the vehicle is 
loaded higher than the top of the seat 
backrests with smaller objects. For your 
safety, always use the partition net when 
transporting cargo.

The partition net can be installed in two lo-
cations:

1

Holder behind B-pillar

2

Holder behind C-pillar

Warning!

G

Make sure the partition net is properly 

engaged at top and bottom position and the 

tightening belts are securely fastened.

Never use a damaged partition net.

To help avoid personal injury from smaller 

objects being thrown around in the occu-

pant compartment during a collision or 

sudden maneuver, always use partition net 

when transporting cargo.

The partition net cannot prevent the move-

ment of large, heavier objects into the pas-

senger compartment in an accident. Such 

items must be properly secured using the 

cargo tie-down rings in the cargo compart-

ment floor (

page 299).

Passenger use of seats behind installed 

partition net is restricted because of the 

footwell being taken up by the net.
