Use of the partition net is a particularly important safety factor when the vehicle is loaded higher than the top of the seat backrests with smaller objects. The partition net can be installed behind the backrests of the front or rear seats. Engaging partition net One after the other, press the two mounting hooks 2 inward against the spring pressure and turn them. The mounting hooks are locked in this position and you can move the net into position more easily. Turn one of the mounting hooks 2 in the opposite direction. The spring pressure will push it out. Engage mounting hook 2 in holder 1. Turn the other mounting hook and engage it in the opposite holder. Push both mounting hooks 2 forward into holder 1. G Always lock backrest in its upright position when rear seat bench is occupied by passengers, or cargo is being carried behind the seat bench. To help avoid personal injury from smaller objects flying in the occupant area during a collision or sudden maneuver, always use partition net when transporting cargo. The partition net cannot prevent the movement of large, heavier objects into the passenger area in an accident. Such items must be properly secured using the cargo tie-down rings in the cargo area floor ( page 140). Passenger use of seats behind installed partition net is restricted because of the footwell being taken up by the net. 1 Holder 2 Mounting hook 141
