being thrown forward in the passenger com-
partment in the event of sudden braking.
Folding upTake hold of the bottom of the safety grille and
pull back/up.
IMPORTANT

down when a cargo cover is fitted.
Fitting/removalThe safety grille is normally permanently instal-
led in the car because it can easily be foldedup in the roof and so be out of the way if a
longer cargo area is required. However, if
desired, the safety grille can be dismantled and
removed from the car.
For information about the tools required and
methods for fitting/removal, see the installation
instructions
1 that were included with the initial
purchase.
For safety reasons, the safety grille must
always be correctly fastened and secured
when being refitted.
