HiFi system Ð harman kardonWhen the system is activated, the
impression of a significantly larger
passenger compartment is created in
all seats, together with an improvement
of the stereo effect.
When radio reception is weak, the
system will frequently switch back
and forth between stereo and mono
mode. If this happens, turn the HiFi
system off.<
Opening and closingTo open: pull the handle. The glove
compartment lamp will light up.
To close: fold up cover.
To prevent injury in the event of a
crash, close the glove compart-
ment immediately after use.< To lockUse one of the master keys to lock the
vehicle. A master key can also be used
for unlocking.
If, for example, you turn over only
your door key for valet parking,
(refer to page 30), access to the glove
compartment is not possible.<

Ski bag
*
The ski bag allows the safe and clean
transport of up to 4 pairs of standard
skis or up to two snowboards.
The length of the ski bag and the addi-
tional space provided in the luggage
compartment make it possible to carry
skis up to 6.8 ft long (2.1 0 meters).
Because of the tapered shape of the ski
bag, it can only accommodate two pairs
of skis 6.8 ft long (2.1 0 meters).
