124nSki bag*  
The ski bag allows the safe and clean  
transport of up to 4 pairs of standard  
skis or up to two snowboards.  
With the length of the ski bag and the  
additional space in the cargo area, you  
can store skis with a length of up to  
6.9 ft/2.1 m. Because of the tapered  
shape of the bag, the ski bag can only  
accommodate two pairs of skis with a  
length of 6.9 ft/2.1 m.

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.<  
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.<  
When stowing the ski bag, proceed in  
the reverse order from loading.
