Installing and removing the steel
Installation
cargo grid*
When in the loading position, the cargo
compartment cover can obstruct visibility
to the rear. Make sure that the cargo com-
partment cover is fully extended or fully
retracted during driving.
The steel cargo grid prevents loads or pets in
the cargo compartment from being thrown
forward into the passenger compartment
during hard braking.
The steel cargo grid may only be used in
the rear position (behind the rear seat)
described here.
Before installing the steel grid, the existing
plastic ceiling mounting consoles must be
replaced with steel consoles. Volvo recom-
mends that the ceiling consoles are only
replaced by an authorized Volvo workshop or
retailer.
Retracting the cover
1. From the fully opened position:
Lift the cover's handle and pull it rearward
to release the cover's attaching pins from
the grooves. Let the cover retract.
From the partially retracted position:
1. Fold down the rear seat backrests.
Grasp the handle and pull the cover out of
the groves to the fully open position. Lift
the handle and pull it rearward to release
the cover's attaching pins from the
grooves. Let the cover retract.
2. Make sure that the steel grid is facing the
right direction. Lift the grid into the vehicle
through one of the rear doors.
For safety reasons, the steel grid must always
be installed and secured correctly.
2. Let the cover retract with its attaching
pins above the side panels until it stops in
the fully retracted position.
WARNING
Under no circumstances may a person be
in the cargo compartment when the vehi-
cle is moving. Heavy braking or a collision
could lead to serious injury.

WARNING
net*
Objects in the cargo compartment must
always be securely anchored, even with a
correctly installed cargo net.
The cargo net helps prevent objects in the
cargo compartment from entering the pas-
senger compartment in the event of a sudden
stop or hard braking.
The telescopic spring-loaded hooks make
mounting easier.
Installing the cargo net
WARNING
Make sure that the net's hooks are pushed
forward as far as possible into their
respective mounting points.
The cargo net is attached at four points.
All of the cargo net's upper consoles,
hooks and straps must be securely moun-
ted and attached before the net is used.
Never use the net if it is damaged.
With front mounting, the cargo net is most
easily installed via a rear door.
1. Fold out the cargo net and make sure that
the upper rod folds out and locks into
position.
For safety reasons, the cargo net must always
be mounted and secured according to the fol-
lowing description.
2. Insert one of the net's hooks into the front
or rear ceiling mounting point with the
strap lock facing you.
The net is made of strong nylon weave and
can be attached in two different locations in
the vehicle:
Rear mounting - behind the rear seats.
Front mounting - behind the front seats.

ier if the seat backrests are upright and the
seats are moved slightly forward.
Store the net in its case.
With the cargo net hooked into the rear
ceiling mounting points, attach the net's
straps into the front cargo anchoring eye-
lets in the cargo compartment.

Move the seat or backrest only until it
touches the net. Moving it with too much
force or applying too much pressure to the
net could lead to damage.
If a seat or backrest is pressed with too
much force back against the cargo net, the
net and its ceiling brackets could be dam-
aged.
