Cargo area

Securing load

After loading, secure the ski bag and its
contents. To do so, tighten the retaining
belt at the buckle.

Secure the ski bag in this way. If
you fail to do so, it could endanger

occupants during braking or evasive
maneuvers.

Please be sure that the skis are clean
before loading them into the bag. Be
careful to avoid damage from sharp
edges.

If the cover in the cargo area is
concealed by the pull-out cargo

floor, do not fold the larger rear back-
rest down. If you do so, it will damage
the cover.

Folding rear backrests down

Reach into the recess and pull forward,
refer to arrow.

When you fold back the backrest,
be sure that the catch engages

securely. The red warning indicator dis-
appears in the recess when the catch is
engaged.
The center safety belt can be retracted
only when the larger backrest is
engaged.
