Undo the Velcro fastener and spread out
the transport bag between the front seats.

access to the stored items.

Only place clean skis in the transport bag. Wrap
sharp edges to prevent damage.
You can use the snaps to shorten the transport
bag if you do not need its full length.

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.

Removing the front cover

You can remove the front cover to use the full
height of the through-loading opening. With the
cover folded down, pull the handle, see arrow,
and remove the cover toward the front. To
replace, insert the cover at an angle from above
