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.

Installation

 Important

The steel cargo grid may only be used in the rear position (behind the rear seat) described here.
Before installing the steel grid, the existing plastic ceiling brackets must be replaced with steel brackets. Volvo recommends that the ceiling brackets are only replaced by an authorized Volvo workshop or retailer.
Fold down the rear seat backrests.
Make sure that the steel grid is facing the right direction. Lift the grid into the vehicle through one of the rear doors.
