The cargo net helps prevent objects in the cargo compartment from entering the passenger compartment in the event of a sudden stop or hard braking.

The cargo net is attached at four points.

Volvo XC90. Installing and removing the cargo net

For safety reasons, the cargo net must always be mounted and secured according to the following description.

The net is made of strong nylon weave and can be attached in two different locations in the vehicle:

  • Rear attachment: behind the second-row seats.
  • Front attachment: behind the front seats.

Installing the Cargo Net

  1. Fold out the cargo net and make sure that the upper rod folds out and locks into position.
  2. Insert one of the net's hooks into the front or rear ceiling mounting point with the strap lock facing you.
  3. Insert the net's other upper hook into the ceiling mounting point on the opposite side.

    Telescoping spring-loaded hooks make installation easier.

    Make sure that the net's hooks are pushed forward as far as possible into their respective mounting points.

    Rear attachment.

    For rear attachment:

    With the cargo net hooked into the rear ceiling mounting points, attach the net's straps into the front cargo anchoring eyelets in the cargo compartment.

    Front attachment.

    For front attachment:

    With the cargo net mounted in the front ceiling mounting points, hook the straps into the outer eyelets on the front seat rails behind the seats. Attaching the net is easier if the seat backrests are upright and the seats are moved slightly forward.

    Move the seat or seatback only until it touches the net. Moving it with too much force or applying too much pressure to the net could lead to damage.

  5. Pull the straps until the cargo net is taut.

Removing the Cargo Net

The cargo net can be easily removed and folded.

  1. Loosen the cargo net by pressing the button on the strap locks on each side and pulling to allow some slack.
  2. Press the release catches and release both strap hooks.
  3. Unhook the upper hooks and remove the net from the ceiling attachment points.
  4. Press the red button on the pole so that it can be folded. Fold and roll up the net. Store the net in its case.
