Loading
1. Pull down the center armrest, press the
button and open the cover
2. Press the button again; the cover in the
luggage compartment opens. If you
press the button firmly the first time, this
also opens the cover in the luggage
compartment
3. Extend the ski bag between the front
seats and fill it. The zipper allows more
convenient access to stored objects
and can also be left open to allow the
ski bag to dry
4. Insert the belt tongue of the ski bag belt
in the center safety belt buckle.
Please ensure that the skis are clean before
loading them into the bag. Take care to
avoid damage from sharp edges.
Securing the load
Secure the bag's contents by tightening
down the strap at the buckle.
Secure the ski bag in this way. If you
fail to do so, it could move around and
endanger occupants during braking or eva-
sive maneuvers.
<
To store the ski bag, perform the above
steps in reverse order.
Removing the ski bag
The ski bag can be completely removed to
clean it and to use other inserts.
Your BMW center will be glad to pro-
vide you with more detailed informa-
tion on the various items of equipment. <
Pull the handle forwards and remove the
ski bag upwards, then close the cover in
the luggage compartment.
Do not position cargo at the opening.
If you do, it can endanger the passen-
gers during braking or evasive maneuvers.
Always close off the passage with an insert,
as otherwise objects from the luggage
compartment can enter into the passenger
compartment.
