Make sure the cargo net is properly
engaged at top and bottom position and the
tightening belts are securely fastened.
Never use a damaged cargo net.
To help avoid personal injury from smaller
objects being thrown around in the
occupant compartment during a collision or
sudden maneuver, always use cargo net
when transporting cargo.
The cargo net cannot prevent the
movement of large, heavier objects into the
passenger compartment in an accident.
Such items must be properly secured using
the cargo tie-down rings in the cargo
compartment floor.
Passenger use of seats behind installed
cargo net is restricted because of the
footwell being taken up by the net.
Use of the cargo net is a particularly
important safety factor when the vehicle is
loaded higher than the top of the seat
backrests with smaller objects. For your
safety, always use the cargo net when
transporting cargo.
