Carrying long loads (ski hatch)
Ski hatch
The center section of the rear seat backrest
can be opened to create space for carrying
long, light objects (max. length 6.5 ft/2 meters,
max. weight 55 lbs/25 kg). To do so, the center
section (cushion) of the rear seat backrest must
be removed, the tire repair kit (if the vehicle is
so equipped) must be removed and stowed in
the trunk, and the plastic hatch in the trunk
must be opened.
Removing the center backrest cushion
Pull the strap at the upper edge of the cushion,
pull it forward, and lift it out.
Opening the plastic hatch
From the trunk, press the catches in the two
holes in the hatch toward each other to release
the hatch, and fold it down.
NOTE
If the vehicle is equipped with the optional
ski bag, the bag’s zipper must be opened
from the passenger’s compartment in order
to insert objects through the ski hatch.
Replacing the backrest cushion
Begin by guiding the lower section of the cush-
ion into place. Then press the upper section of
the cushion into place.
NOTE
This cushion is locked in place when the
vehicle is locked with the remote control.
Securing long objects
Long objects should be secured with one of the
rear seat belts.
Wrap the belt once around the object and lock
the belt in the retractor as usual. If the vehicle
is equipped with the optional ski bag, pass the
seat belt through the bag’s handle before fas-
tening the seat belt.
