2005 VOLVO XC90

Nylon cargo net (option)
The Volvo XC90 can be equipped with a cargo net made of strong nylon fabric.

This net can be installed in two places:

●

Behind the rear seat backrests (the second row of seats in seven-seat models)

●

Behind the front seat backrests if the rear seat backrests (the second row of seats in seven-seat models) have been folded

down.

If the vehicle is equipped with the cargo area cover, lift the cover out of the vehicle before installing the cargo net.

1. The upper and lower rods of the cargo net are hinged. Position the rods so that they are straight and lock in position.

2. Insert the end of the upper rod in one of the attachment brackets (see illustration above).
3. Insert the other end of the rod in the attachment bracket on the opposite side of the vehicle.
4. Attach the lower straps to the eyelets on the floor if the net has been installed in the rear attachment brackets.
Use the eyelets in the front seat rails if the net has been installed in the forward attachment brackets.

NOTE: On seven-seat models: When using the net in the rear attachment brackets, be sure it is installed in front of the side
armrests.
5. Adjust the straps to pull the net taut.
