WARNING
• Be sure to place any devices connected to the socket safely so that they do notbecome projectiles in the event of a sud-den stop and injure the occupants of thevehicle.
• Be aware that connected devices maygenerate heat and become very hot.
• Only connect devices that function cor-rectly and are free from defects. Thesedevices should be intended for use in a120-volt, 60Hz socket with a plugintended for the socket in the vehicle andbe UL-approved (or the equivalentthereof).
• Never let the device, its plug or thesocket itself come in contact with fluidsof any kind. Never touch or use thesocket if it appears to be damaged orwet.

Loading
The load carrying capacity of your vehicle is determined by factors such as the number ofpassengers, the amount of cargo, the weight ofany accessories that may be installed, etc.
Tailgate opening button on the lighting panel
Open the tailgate by pressing the button on the lighting panel, pressing the
button on the

Loading recommendations
• Load objects in the cargo compartment against the backrest whenever possible.
• If the backrests of the second row seats arefolded down, they should not be in contactwith the front seat backrests. This could impede the function of the WhiplashProtection System (WHIPS).
• Unstable loads can be secured to the loadanchoring eyelets with straps or web lash-ings to help keep them from shifting.
• Stop the engine and apply the parking brakewhen loading or unloading long objects. Thegear selector can be knocked out of positionby long loads, which could set the vehicle inmotion.
WARNING
•
Stop the engine, put the gear selector in P
, and apply the parking brake when
loading or unloading long objects.
• The vehicle's driving characteristics may change depending on the weight and dis-tribution of the load.
• A 44-pound (20 kg) object produces aforce of 2,200 pounds (1,000 kg) in ahead-on collision at 30 mph (50 km/h).
• The cargo area and rear seat should notbe loaded to a level higher than 2 in.(5 cm) below the upper edge of the rearside windows. Objects placed higher thanthis level could impede the function ofthe Inflatable Curtain.
WARNING
•
Cover sharp edges on long loads to help prevent injury to occupants. Secure theload to help prevent shifting during sud-den stops.
• Always secure large and heavy objectswith a seat belt or cargo retaining straps.
• Always secure the load to help prevent itfrom moving in the event of sudden stops.
• Switch off the engine, apply the parking brake and put the gear selector in
P
when loading and unloading the vehicle.
Raising/lowering the rear-end of the vehicle *
Using the buttons on the read edge of the cargo compartment, the rear-end of the vehicle (thelevel of the cargo compartment floor) can beraised or lowered for easier loading or to make attaching a trailer 2

NOTE
The level cannot be adjusted if a door or the hood are open (this does not apply to the tail-gate).
WARNING
Be sure that the entire area under the vehicle is completely unobstructed before loweringthe level.
Extra loading spaceThe rear seat backrests can be folded down to added cargo space or for transporting longobjects.
Roof loadsLoad carriers are available as Volvo accessories.Observe the following points when in use:
• To avoid damaging your vehicle and to achieve maximum safety when driving, werecommend using the load carriers that Volvohas developed especially for your vehicle.
• Volvo-approved removable roof racks aredesigned to carry the maximum allowableroof load for this vehicle (see the article"Weights" for specific information).
• Never exceed the rack manufacturer's weighlimits.
• Avoid single-point loads. Distribute loadsevenly.
• Place heavier cargo at the bottom of theload.
• Secure the cargo correctly with appropriatetie-down equipment.
• Check periodically that the load carriers andload are properly secured.
• Remember that the vehicle's center of gravityand handling change when you carry a loadon the roof. •
The vehicle's wind resistance and fuel con-sumption will increase with the size of theload.
• Drive smoothly. Avoid rapid starts, fast cor-nering and hard braking.
See the article "Weights" for information about the maximum permissible load that can be trans-ported on the roof.

• A damaged net must never be used.
Attaching1. Fold out the cargo net and fold out the upper
rod. Be sure it locks in position.
2. Insert one of the net's upper hooks into the front or rear ceiling mounting point with the net's lower straps' locks facing you. 3. Insert the other upper hook into the ceiling
mounting point on the opposite side. It isspring-loaded to make mounting easier. Press each of the hooks as far forward into the respective mounting points as possible.
Rear mounting
4. Rear mounting: with the upper hooks inserted into the rear ceiling mounting points, hook the lower straps through the loadanchoring eyelets on the floor of the cargocompartment as show in the illustration.
Front mounting
Front mounting: with the upper hooks inserted into the front ceiling mountingpoints, hook the lower straps through theeyelets on the front seat rails as shown in theillustration. Attaching the net is easier if thefront seat backrests are upright and the seatsare moved slightly forward. Adjust the front seats so that they only touch the net but do not apply pressure to it.
