For safety reasons, the steel grid must always be installed and secured correctly.
WARNING
Under no circumstances may a person be in the cargo compartment when the vehicle ismoving. Heavy braking or a collision couldlead to serious injury.
The steel grid consists of the grid itself and two separate mounting brackets. Each of the mount- ing brackets has a screw cover and two plasticsleeves for the grid.
WARNING
The steel cargo grid may only be used in the rear position described here. The ceilingattachment points behind the front seats arenot intended to anchor the steel grid.
WARNING

must
be folded down when the steel cargo grid is mounted in the vehicle.
CAUTION
The steel cargo grid and the cargo compart- ment cover cannot be mounted at the sametime.
Installation1. Fold down the rear seats and lift in the steel
grid through one of the rear doors or the tail- gate. The curved (convex) side of the gridshould face toward the cargo compartmentand the hooks on each side of the gridshould face upward. The mounting bracketsand plastic sleeves are not needed in thisstep.
2. Press one of the grid's hooks into the largerhole in the ceiling attachment point (1). Grasp the grid near the hook and pull/push it into the smaller hole (2).
> The hook is now secured in the attach-ment point.
