NOTE
The easiest way to fit the safety net is via
one of the rear doors.
WARNING
It is necessary to ensure that the upper
securing points of the safety net are fitted
correctly and that the puller-straps are
secured properly. Damaged nets must not
be used.
1. Unfold the cargo net and make sure that
the split upper rod is locked in the
extended position.
2. Hook one end of the rod into the roof
mounting with the anchoring strap locks
turned towards you.
3. Hook the other end of the rod into the
roof mounting on the opposite side - the
telescopic spring-loaded retaining hooks
facilitate alignment. Take care to press
forward the rod's retaining hooks for each
respective roof mounting's front end posi-
tion.
4. Hook the cargo net's anchoring straps
into the eyes on the rear of the seat slide
rails - it is easier if the backrests are
straightened and the seats are moved
forward slightly.
Pay attention to make sure that you do
not press the seat/backrest hard against
the net when the seat/backrest is moved
back again - only adjust until the seat/
backrest makes contact with the net.
IMPORTANT
If a seat/backrest is pushed backwards
hard into the safety net then the net and/or
its roof mounts may be damaged.
5. Tension the cargo net with the anchoring
straps.
