Ski bag*
The ski bag facilitates the safe and clean trans-
port of up to four pairs of standard skis or up to
two snowboards.
You can stow skis up to a length of 1.90 m,
approx. 6 ft 2 in, with the aid of the ski bag. If
skis of this length are carried, however, the
capacity of the ski bag is lower in view of its
tapered design.
Loading
Make sure that skis and snowboards are
cleaned before being inserted into the ski bag.
Wrap protective material around sharp edges to
prevent damage.
1. Fold down the centre panel in the rear-seat
backrest.
2. Press the button, reach into the recess and
fold down the hinged cover. Stabilise the
cover in the folded-down position by plac-
ing the centre panel underneath it.
3. Open the Velcro fastener, spread the ski
bag between the front seats and insert the
skis or snowboards.
The zip fastener makes objects in the bag
easier to reach.

Insert the tongue of the ski bag's retaining
strap in the centre belt buckle.

Engage the hook of the ski bag retaining
strap in the eyelet at the side of the ski bag
opening.
Securing the load
After loading the ski bag, secure the bag and its
contents by tightening the retaining strap at its
turnbuckle.
Secure the ski bag in the manner
described, as it could endanger the car's
occupants, e.g. in case of heavy braking or sud-
den swerving.<
To stow away the ski bag, follow the opposite
procedure as for loading.
