&
WARNING Risk of injury or death due to
objects being poorly secured
The load protection net alone cannot restrain
or secure heavy objects, luggage or heavy
loads.
You could be hit by an unsecured load during
sudden changes in direction, braking or in the
event of an accident.
#
Always stow objects in such a way that
they cannot be thrown about the vehi‐
cle.
#
Secure objects, luggage or loads against
slipping or tipping over, e.g. by using tie
downs, even when you are using the
load protection net.
&
WARNING Risk of injury due to sitting
behind a partitioning net
Vehicle occupants can be pressed against the
partitioning net. There is a risk of injury.
#
Never allow vehicle occupants to sit
behind the partitioning net.
The load protection net partitions the cargo com‐
partment. It protects vehicle occupants from light
objects and/or luggage slipping or tipping over.
You can install the load protection net at an angle
behind the front seats or behind the first row of
rear seats.
