Risk of injury
When the load protection net is fitted, the
row of seats behind it must not be occupied.
Vehicle occupants on this seat could other-
wise make contact with the load protection
net and sustain injuries in the event of an
accident, even if seat belts are worn.
i There are two possibilities when installing
the load protection net in the position behind
the front seats:
I
at the lashing eyelets in the foremost seat
rail positions (optimum position)
or
I
at the sides, at the lashing eyelets on the B-
pillar.
If you wish to install the load protection net be-
hind the rear bench seat, you must first remove
the load compartment cover (
e page 226).
