Bike rack

Observe the permissible axle loads and maximum permissible gross
weight when loading the bike rack.
Bicycles may not jut out beyond the maximum width of the vehicle.
Adjust the attachments for the bikes accordingly.
Load the bike rack with bicycles only.
Do not transport more than the permitted number of bicycles for the bike
rack used.
Check the secure attachment of the bicycles on the bike rack after the
first 10 km and then at each break in the journey.
The identification plate and rear lights must not be covered.
Driving with a folded out bike rack without bicycles is not permitted.
Before every journey, check:
Is the bike rack without bicycles folded in correctly?
Are the bicycles securely fastened to the bike rack using the bike rack
belts?
When loading the bike rack, observe the centre of gravity. The centre of gravity
of the bicycles must be as close as possible to the rear wall of the vehicle. The
bike rack should always be loaded from the inside to the outside.
Loading the bike rack correctly:
Depending on the model, fold the bike rack down or pull it out.
Place the heaviest bicycle directly against the rear wall.
Place the lightest bicycles in the centre or on the outside of the bike rack.
Secure the front and rear wheels of each bicycle with the retaining straps
on the bike rack.
In addition, fasten the outermost bicycle depending on the model of the
bike rack on the retaining clip or the retaining bracket and to the spacer
respectively.
If the bike rack is only loaded with one bicycle, position the bicycle as closely
as possible to the rear wall.
