WARNING
On its own, the safety net cannot secure or
restrain heavy objects, items of luggage and
heavy loads. You could be hit by an unsecured
load during sudden changes in direction,
braking or in the event of an accident. There
is an increased risk of injury or even fatal
injury.
Always store objects so that they cannot be
flung around. Secure objects, luggage or
loads against slipping or tipping over, e.g. by
using lashing material, even if you are using
the safety net.
It is important to use a safety net if you load
the vehicle with small objects above the seat
backrests. For safety reasons, always use a
safety net when transporting a load.
The safety net is located in the stowage space
under the luggage compartment floor
(
