Child restraints Child restraint installation Child-safety locksbackrest could lead to serious or fatal 
injuries.
If it is necessary for a child (not an in-
fant) to ride in the front seat, certain 
precautions should be taken. First, 
move the passenger seat as far away 
from the dashboard as possible. This 
important precaution is intended to 
maximize the distance between the air-
bag and the child. Older children should 
be tightly secured with the safety belt. 
Younger children should be secured in 
an appropriate forward-facing child re-
straint system that has first been prop-
erly secured with a safety belt. Never 
install a rear-facing child restraint sys-
tem in the front passenger seat.
We strongly urge you to carefully read 
and observe the instructions for instal-
lation and use provided by the child re-
straint's manufacturer whenever you 
use such a device.
Be sure that all occupants (of all ages) 
remain properly and securely restrained 
at all times.< 
All rear seating positions in your 
vehicle meet the recommendations 
of SAE J1819, an industry recom-
mended practice for securing child 
restraint systems in motor vehicles.To allow you to use the safety belts to 
secure child-restraint systems, the belts 
at all rear positions feature a special 
locking mode.
A label with operating instructions is at-
tached to the belt next to the latch plate 
(except the middle belt in the rear).
Lock the safety beltExtract the entire length of the belt from 
the inertia reel mechanism. Allow the 
belt to retract somewhat and engage 
the buckle. Then tighten the belt around 
the child restraint. The belt is now 
locked. Comply with the instructions 
provided by the manufacturer of the 
child restraint.Unlock the safety beltRelease the safety belt, remove the 
child's seat and retract the safety belt to 
its end position on the belt retractor.365us146
Insert the key into a rear door lock and 
turn it outward:
The door can now be opened from the 
outside only.380de019

Ski bag
* 
Designed for safe, convenient trans-
port of 3 to 4 pairs of skis.
The supplementary length provided by 
the ski sacks in combination with the 
space in the luggage compartment 
makes it possible to transport skis of up 
to 6.8 ft (2.10 m) in length. Because of 
the tapered shape of the ski bag, it can 
only accommodate two pairs of skis 
with a length of 6.8 feet (2.10 m).

Detach the Velcro
â strip holding the 
center cover in position and place it on 
the armrest.
Lower the center armrestGently raise the front of the armrest and 
press the two levers inward (arrows): 
The armrest drops down against the 
surface of the seat.
Before loading the ski bag, the 
center armrest must be com-
pletely lowered.< 380de067
