Recommendations for loading

Keep the load symmetrical and as close to

the centre of the car as possible e.g. by
loading the bicycles facing alternately if
several bicycles are loaded.
Remove loose objects from the bicycle for
•
transportation, e.g. bicycle basket, battery,
child seat. Partly to reduce the load on the
towbar and bicycle rack, and partly to
reduce the wind resistance, which affects
fuel consumption.
Do not use protective covers on the bicy-
