2003 VOLVO XC70
Securing cargo
As a safety precaution, your car is equipped with four eyelets in the ca\
rgo space to which straps can be
attached to secure luggage. WARNING!
The eyelets are not to be used as passenger restraints or as anchorages \
for child restraints.
Unless the car is equipped with an optional Volvo auxiliary seat for chi\
ldren, passengers should not
ride in the rear cargo area.
Remember that a 44 lbs object produces a force of 2,200 lbs in a head-on\
collision at 30 mph!

WARNING!
The nylon cargo net must not be used when the optional rear-facing auxil\
iary child seat in the cargo

When not in use, the cargo net should not be stored unattached in the ca\
r to prevent it from being
thrown forward in the event of a sudden stop, etc.
CAUTION:

ns are folded forward, the net
should be positioned so that it is in front of the rear seat cushions bu\
t behind the front seat backrests (C).
l The eyelets on the floor of the car under the front seats must not be us\
ed to secure the lower straps of
the cargo net. If these eyelets are used and the front seats are moved b\
ack, the cargo net or upper
brackets may be damaged.
Folding and storing the cargo net
The cargo net can be folded and stored under the floor of the cargo area\
on cars not equipped with the
optional auxiliary rear-facing child seat or the optional bass speaker.
Press the buttons on the hinges at the center of the upper and lower rod\
s. This releases the hinges so that
