2018 VOLVO XC90 TWIN ENGINE seats

LOADING, STORAGE AND PASSENGER COMPARTMENT
* Option/accessory.587
WARNINGIn a head-on collision at a speed of 50 km/h
(30 mph), an unsecured object weighing 20
kg (44 pounds) can reach a projectile weight
equivalent to 1000 kg (2200 pounds).
WARNING
If objects are loaded higher than the upper
edge of the side windows, leave a 10 cm (4
in.) space between the objects and the win-
dow. Objects placed closer to this could
impede the function of the inflatable curtain
concealed inside the headlining.
WARNING
Always secure the load. Otherwise, it may shift
during heavy braking and injure people in the
vehicle.
Cover sharp edges and sharp corners with
something soft.
Turn off the engine and apply the parking
brake when loading/unloading long objects.
Otherwise, it is possible for the load to reach
the gear lever or gear selector and move it to
a drive position – which could cause the vehi-
cle to begin rolling.
Extra cargo space
The rear seat backrests can be folded down to
increase cargo compartment space and simplify
loading. If the rear seat backrests are folded down, make sure that no objects loaded into the
vehicle prevent the WHIPS system for the front
seats from functioning correctly.
Raising/lowering the rear end of the
vehicle*
The rear end of the vehicle can be lowered or
raised for easier loading or to facilitate attaching
a trailer*.
The controls for raising/lowering are located at
the rear edge of the cargo compartment's right
side panel. Controls for raising/lowering the rear end of the vehicle.
The controls consist of two buttons ‒ one button
for lowering and one button for raising the rear
end. Press and hold the relevant button until the
desired height is reached.
The rear end of the vehicle cannot be raised
higher than its normal height. The rear end will return to the normal height
when the vehicle begins driving.
NOTE It is not possible to adjust the height of the
vehicle's rear when one or more of the doors
or the hood is open. This does not apply to
the tailgate.
WARNING
Make sure that no people, animals or objects
are found under the vehicle when it is low-
ered. This could endanger life and cause
damage to the vehicle or objects.

592 Installing and removing the steel
cargo grid*
The steel cargo grid prevents loads or pets in
the cargo compartment from being thrown for-
ward into the passenger compartment. 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 is
moving. Heavy braking or a collision could
lead 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 plastic
sleeves for the grid.
WARNING The steel cargo grid may only be used in the
rear position described here. The ceiling
attachment points behind the front seats are
not intended to anchor the steel grid.
WARNING
For safety reasons, the third-row seats
4
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 same
time.
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 grid
should face toward the cargo compartment
and the hooks on each side of the grid
should face upward. The mounting brackets
and plastic sleeves are not needed in this
step. 2. Press one of the grid's hooks into the larger
hole 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.
3. Repeat step 2 above to secure the other hook in the attachment point on the opposite
side.
WARNING Make sure the cargo grid's hooks are securely
attached in the ceiling attachment points to
help ensure the grid does not come loose.

* Option/accessory. 5934. Attach the mounting bracket's hook through
the cargo anchoring eyelet near the floor of
the cargo compartment and insert the threa-
ded section of the bracket through the grid's
lower attachment hole (1).
Slide the plastic sleeve onto the threaded
section of the mounting bracket with the
sleeve's flange turned upward and press it
down through the hole. Screw the screw
cover into place until its underside is approxi-
mately 5 mm from the grid (2).
5.

Repeat step 4 for the opposite side.
6. Center the grid and then tighten both mount- ing brackets, moving back and forth between
them until the grid is securely in place.
Removing the coverRemove the steel grid by performing the above
steps in reverse order.
It can be a good idea to remove the mounting
brackets before removing the plastic sleeves
from the holes in the grid.

• Load anchoring eyelets (p. 589) Installing and removing the cargo
net*
The cargo net helps prevent objects in the cargo
compartment from entering the passenger com-
partment in the event of a sudden stop or hard
braking. The cargo net is attached at four points. For safety reasons, the cargo net must always be
mounted and secured according to the following
description.
The net is made of strong nylon weave and can
be attached in two different locations in the vehi-
cle:
• Rear mounting - behind the second row of
seats.
• Front mounting - behind the front seats.

WARNING
Objects in the cargo compartment must
always be securely anchored, even with a cor-
rectly installed cargo net.
Installing the cargo net
WARNING
All of the cargo net's upper consoles, hooks
and straps must be securely mounted and
attached before the net is used.
Never use the net if it is damaged.
NOTE
With front mounting, the cargo net is most
easily installed via a rear door.
1. Fold out the cargo net and make sure that
the upper rod folds out and locks into posi-
tion.
2.

Insert one of the net's hooks into the front or
rear ceiling mounting point with the strap
lock facing you. 3. Insert the other upper hook into the ceiling
mounting point on the opposite side. The
telescopic spring-loaded hooks make mount-
ing easier.
Make sure that the net's hooks are pushed
forward as far as possible into their respec-
tive mounting points. 4. Rear mounting: With the cargo net hooked
into the rear ceiling mounting points, attach
the net's straps into the front floor eyelets in
the cargo compartment. Rear mounting.
Front mounting: With the cargo net mounted
in the front ceiling mounting points, hook the
straps into the outer eyelets on the front seat
rails behind the seats. Attaching the net is
easier if the seat backrests are upright and
the seats are moved slightly forward.
