Mercedes Benz 2004 ml 500 Manuale Utente

Four hooks located on the rear compart-
ment trim panels, two on each side.

Use the hooks to secure light weight items. 
The maximum permissible weight per hook 
is 9 lbs (4 kg).

Use of the partition net is a particularly im-
portant safety factor when the vehicle is 
loaded higher than the top of the seat 
backrests with smaller objects.

The partition net can be installed behind 
the backrests of the front or rear seats.

Always lock backrest in its upright position 
when rear seat bench is occupied by pas-
sengers, or cargo is being carried behind the 
seat bench.

To help avoid personal injury from smaller 
objects flying in the occupant area during a 
collision or sudden maneuver, always use 
partition net when transporting cargo.

The partition net cannot prevent the move-
ment of large, heavier objects into the pas-
senger area in an accident. Such items must 
be properly secured using the cargo 
tie-down rings in the cargo area floor 
(

Passenger use of seats behind installed par-
tition net is restricted because of the foot-
well being taken up by the net.
