5.Insert the latch plate of the retaining strap 
into the belt buckle under the transport bag.
6.Load the transport bag. The zipper eases 
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 
and let it snap it into place.

sess the necessary technical knowledge. 
If you are unfamiliar with the statutory guide-
lines, have any work on the vehicle performed

correspondingly trained personnel. If this work 
is not carried out properly, there is a danger of 
subsequent damage and related safety haz-
ards.<
