Ski bag*
The ski bag is designed for safe, clean transport
of up to 4 pairs of standard skis or up to 2 snow-
boards.
With the ski bag you can stow skis with a length
of up to 6.9 ft/2.10 m. When skis of 6.9 ft/
2.10 m in length are loaded, the ski bag will tend
to contract, reducing its overall capacity.
Before loading the ski bag, fold in the dis-
play screen of the DVD system in the
rear
*, as otherwise the display screen could be
damaged. <
Loading
1.Fold down the center armrest, press the
button and open the cover.
2. Press the button again; the cover in the
cargo bay opens. If you press the button
firmly the first time, this cover also opens.
3. Extend the ski bag be tween the front seats
and fill it. The zipper facilitates access to the
stowed items and drying of the ski bag.

retaining strap into th e center safety belt
buckle that is marked CENTER. BMW X6: attach the hook of the ski bag
retaining strap to the eyelet on the rear seat
backrest.
Only stow clean skis in the ski bag. Wrap sharp
edges to prevent damage.Securing cargo
After loading, secure the ski bag and its con-
tents. Tighten the retaining strap on the ten-
sioning buckle for this purpose. Secure the ski bag in th is way. If you fail to
