112nSki bag*
The ski bag allows the safe and clean
transport of up to four pairs of standard
skis or up to two snowboards.
Installing the center armrest
Guide the armrest into position from
above, then apply pressure until you
hear it snap into position.
With the length of the ski bag and the
additional space in the luggage
compartment, you can store skis with a
length of up to 6.8 ft (2.10 meters).
Because of the tapered shape of the
bag, the ski bag can only accommodate
two pairs of skis with a length of 6.8 ft
(2.10 meters).
Be sure that the seat covers are
not damaged by the side pins.<
Removing the center armrest
(Not required for vehicles with the
through-loading system. Refer to
page 114.)
1 Fold the center armrest completely
down.
2 Loosen the trim from the upper
Velcro®fastener and place it on the
armrest.
3 Grasp the front of the armrest with
one hand, then use your other hand
to reach down behind the armrest
and pull up sharply (arrow).
