Controls in detail Loading With the cargo compartment cover installed behind third-row seats, insert extension guide rail 5 into mounting 6. Push extension into mounting 6 as far as it will go. Partition net* 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 in two locations: Warning! G Make sure the partition net is properly engaged top and bottom position and the tightening belts are securely fastened. Never use a damaged partition net. To help avoid personal injury from smaller objects being thrown around in the occupant compartment 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 compartment in an accident. Such items must be properly secured using the cargo tie-down rings in the cargo compartment floor ( page 281). Passenger use of seats behind installed partition net is restricted because of the footwell being taken up by the net. 1 Holder in B-pillar 2 Holder in C-pillar With the cargo compartment expanded in part ( page 283), use holders above C-pillars 2 and the cargo tie-down rings in the third-row footwell ( page 282). 290
