Get Interior -> Cargo net Guide for Volvo Xc70 SUV First Generation (1997-2007)

WARNING!

· Do not position heavy items right up against

the front seats. The forward-folded backrest

will then be pressed down unnecessarily

hard. Never load above the level of the

backrests. If you do, the cargo could be

thrown forward during heavy braking or in

a collision and seriously injure you or your

passengers. Also remember to secure the

cargo properly to prevent it moving about.

· When the rear seat backrest is folded down,

do not load objects higher than 50 mm from

the top edge of the rear passenger door

window. Otherwise, the protection offered

by the inflatable curtain hidden inside the

headlining will be compromised.

Loading in the cargo area

Seat belts and airbags afford the driver and

front seat passenger excellent protection,

especially in a frontal collision. You must also

think of protecting yourself from behind. When

loading cargo you should bear in mind that

objects in the cargo area, if they are not

properly anchored and correctly positioned, can

be thrown forward at great speed and conside-

rable force in a collision or during heavy

braking and cause serious injury.

Remember that in a frontal collision at

50 km/h (31 mph) an object weighing 20 kg

corresponds to a collision weight of 1 000 kg.

Bear the following in mind when

loading cargo:

· Place the load close up against the backrest.

· Place heavy objects as low down as

possible.

· Place wide objects on either side of the

backrest split.

· Secure the load using suitable straps

attached to the cargo lashing eyes.

· Never load above the level of the backrest

without using a cargo net.

General

Load capacity depends on the car’s total kerb

weight, including any accessories that are

mounted. Kerb weight includes the driver, the

weight of the fuel tank when filled to 90% and

various fluids, such as washer fluid and

coolant. Mounted accessories, i.e. towbar, load

carrier, roof box, etc., are included in the kerb

weight.

The load capacity of the car is reduced by the

number of passengers and their weight.

WARNING!

The driving characteristics of the car

change based on its kerb weight and

how heavily it is loaded.

Protective grate XC70

For reasons of safety, the protective grate in the

cargo compartment must always be fastened

and secured correctly.

Do the following to fit the protective grate:

· Fold down the backrests.

· Use a Torx screwdriver to press in and turn

the knob (1) to red (to unlock).

· Insert the spring-loaded ends of the

protective grate into the attachment points

(see illustration).

· Press in and turn the knob (1) to green (to

lock).

NOTE: The green marking on the bracket (2)

and the marking on the knob (1) must be

opposite each other after installation. Otherwise

there is no impact protection.

Do the following to remove the protective

grate:

· Fold down the backrests.

· Use a Torx screwdriver to press in and turn

the knob (1) towards red so that the

marking on the knob matches the marking

on the bracket.

· Press the protective grate towards the

opposite mounting until it comes out of the

ceiling panel. Reduce the amount of

pressure once the mounting has come past

the ceiling panel and pull the grate carefully

towards you so that the grate also releases

on the other side. Do not angle the grate too

much as it could become wedged and be

difficult to pull out.
