Installing and Removing the Steel Cargo Net

(Option/accessory.)

The steel cargo grid prevents loads or pets in the cargo compartment from being thrown forward into the passenger compartment during hard braking.

For safety reasons, the steel cargo net must always be installed and secured correctly.

The steel net consists of the net itself and two separate mounting brackets. Each of the mounting brackets has a screw cover and two plastic sleeves for the net.

Installation

1. 1
   Fold down the rear seats and lift the steel net in through one of the rear doors or the tailgate. The curved (convex) side of the net should face toward the cargo compartment and the hooks on each side of the net should face upward. The mounting brackets and plastic sleeves are not needed in this step.
2. 2

   

   Press one of the grid's hooks into the larger hole in the ceiling attachment point (1).

   Grasp the net next to the hook and pull/push it into the smaller opening (2).

   • The hook is now secured in the attachment point.
3. 3
   Repeat step 2 above to secure the other hook in the attachment point on the opposite side.
4. 4

   

   Attach the mounting bracket's hook through the cargo anchoring eyelet near the floor of the cargo compartment and insert the threaded section of the bracket through the grid's lower attachment hole (1).

   Slide the plastic sleeve onto the threaded section of the mounting bracket with the sleeve's flange turned upward and press it down through the hole. Screw the screw cover into place until its underside is approximately 5 mm from the grid (2).

5. 5
   Repeat step 4 for the opposite side.
6. 6
   Center the grid and then tighten both mounting brackets, moving back and forth between them until the grid is securely in place.

Removing the Cover

Remove the steel net by performing the above steps in reverse order.

It can be a good idea to remove the mounting brackets before removing the plastic sleeves from the holes in the grid.
