600 Roof loads and load carriers
Volvo-developed load carriers are recommended
for carrying loads on the roof of the vehicle.
Volvo load carriers are specially designed to help
prevent damage to your vehicle and help ensure
maximum safety while driving. Volvo load carriers
are available from authorized Volvo retailers.
Carefully follow the installation instructions provi-
ded with the load carriers.

Distribute the load evenly throughout the
load carriers. Place heavier cargo at the bot-
tom of the load.
Check periodically to ensure that the load
carriers and load are properly secured.
Secure the load firmly using tie straps or
similar.
If the load is longer than the vehicle, such as
a canoe or kayak, attach the towing eyelet in
its front outlet and secure the tie straps in it.
The vehicle's wind resistance and fuel con-
sumption increase with the size of the load.
Drive smoothly. Avoid rapid acceleration, hard
braking and fast cornering.
WARNING The vehicle's center of gravity and driving
characteristics are altered by roof loads.
Follow the vehicle's specifications regarding
weights and maximum permitted load.

Installing and removing the cargo compart-
ment cover* (p. 601) Installing and removing the steel
cargo grid*
The steel cargo grid helps prevent 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. 4
7-seat models only.

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. 4. 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).

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.

606 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 net's other upper hook into the
ceiling mounting point on the opposite side.
The telescopic spring-loaded hooks make
mounting easier.
Make sure that the net's hooks are pushed
forward as far as possible into their respec-
tive mounting points.
