BMW 2004 X3 3.0i SAV Owner's Manual

Practical interior accessories

Car phone preparation*

Hands-free system

On vehicles with car phone preparation

the hands-free microphone is located on
the headliner near the interior lamp.

For more information on the car phone,
refer to Owner's Manual for Telephone.

Ski bag*

The ski bag allows the safe and clean
transport of up to four pairs of standard skis
or up to two snowboards.

The ski bag itself plus the additional capac-
ity provided by the luggage compartment
make it possible to transport skis with a
length of up to 2.10 m. When skis of 2.10 m
in length are loaded the ski bag will tend to
contract, reducing its overall capacity.

Loading

Pull down the center armrest, press the
button and take out the cover

Press the button again; the cover in the
luggage compartment opens. If you
press the button firmly the first time, this

also opens the cover in the luggage
compartment

Extend the ski bag between the front
seats. The zipper allows more conve-
nient access to stored objects and can
also be left open to allow the ski bag to
dry

Insert the belt tongue of the ski bag belt
in the center safety belt buckle.

Please ensure that the skis are clean before
loading them into the bag. Take care to
avoid damage from sharp edges.

Securing the load

Secure the bag's contents by tightening
down the strap at the buckle.

Secure the ski bag in this way. If you
fail to do so, it could move around and

endanger occupants during braking or eva-
sive maneuvers.

To store the ski bag, perform the above
steps in reverse order.
