Read and follow the introductory information and safety information first⇒Introduction to the subject 

The luggage net helps prevent lighter luggage from shifting. The luggage net also has a built-in zippered pocket that can hold smaller items.

There are several ways to install the luggage net in the luggage compartment.

Example 1: Securing the luggage net flat on the luggage compartment floor

• First secure the luggage net hooks to the tie-downs at the rear seat backrest ⇒ Fig. 102 ⇒ . The luggage net zipper must face upwards.

• Secure the luggage net hooks to the tie-downs at the loading edge of the luggage compartment ⇒ Fig. 102 .

Example 2: Securing the luggage net to the loading edge

First attach the loops to the shopping bag hooks.

Then secure the short luggage net hooks to the tie-downs at the loading edge of the luggage compartment ⇒ Fig. 102 ⇒ . The luggage net zipper must face upwards.

Removing the luggage net

The installed luggage net is stretched tight ⇒ .

Remove the hooks and loops of the luggage net from the tie-downs in the reverse order described above so that if the hooks come loose suddenly, they will move away from you.

• Stow the luggage net in the luggage compartment.

Warning

The elastic luggage net has to be stretched when being attached to the tie-downs in the luggage compartment. The metal hooks can cause serious personal injury if not handled properly and attached securely.

• Always hold the hooks on the luggage net bag firmly when attaching to the vehicle and do not let them spring back and hit you.

• Always protect eyes and face from injury from the metal hooks when attaching them to the tie-downs in the luggage compartment.

• First attach the luggage net bag hooks to the tie-downs on the rear seat backrest or on the shopping bag hooks in the luggage compartment and then to the tie-downs near the loading edge of the luggage compartment. If one of the hooks on the luggage bag net snaps back, it will move away from you and not towards you, increasing the risk of injury.
