cargo compartment can be maintained, the cargo and passenger compartments can be partioned, and cargo
or luggage can be kept from falling into the passenger compartment.
•Fixing the net to the trunk side upper trim allows for partitioning of the rear seat and cargo compartment, and
fixing the net to the rear seat back (folded down) allows for partitioning of the front seat and the cargo
compartment.
