Convertible: through-loading
opening with integrated
transport bag*
The transport bag is designed for safe, clean
transport of up to 4 pairs of standard skis or up
to 2 snowboards.
With the transport bag you can stow skis up to a
length of 6 ft 7 in/2.0 m. When skis of 6 ft 7 in/
2.0 m length are loaded, the overall capacity of
the ski bag is reduced due to its tapered design.
When using the transport bag, it is not
permissible to transport passengers in
the rear seats. <
Loading
1. Pull the grip in the filler piece of the rear
backrest up and take out the filler piece.
2. Place the filler piece onto the seat cushion
with the backrest side facing up.
3. In the cargo bay: press the two recesses
together and fold down the cover.
4. Release the strap, lay out the transport bag
between the front seats and load it.
The zip fastener makes objects in the ski
bag easier to reach.
Ensure that the skis are clean when you load
them into the transport bag. Wrap sharp edges
to prevent damage.
Securing cargo
After loading, secure the transport bag and its
contents. Tighten the retaining strap on the
tensioning buckle for this purpose.
Secure the transport bag in the manner
described, otherwise it could endanger
the car's occupants, e.g. in case of heavy brak-
ing or sudden swerving.
<
To store the transport bag, perform the steps
described for loading in reverse order.
