The bicycle rack may not be used without this safety
strap.

5.3.1 TRANSPORT OF E-BIKES

When transporting e-bikes, the payload of the
bicycle carrier and the maximum load capacity of each
individual bicycle rail must not be exceeded.
Mount e-bikes only on the bicycle rails 1 and 2, see picture.
Maximum load capacity of the bicycle rails: Maximum load capacity of the bicycle rails:
rail 1: 27.5 kg
rail 2: 27.5 kg
rail 3: 15.0 kg
rail 4: 15.0 kg
Load the bike carrier so that the maximum payload is not exceeded. See
section 3. Specifi cations.
If you transport an e-bike on rails 1 or 2, the other bikes
must be correspondingly lighter so that the bike carrier is not
overloaded. Before loading, determine the weight of each
bicycle (e.g. using a personal scale).

5.4 USING THE TENSION-RELIEF STRAP

These instructions describe the use with estates and compact vehicles with a
hatchback (rear door). With boots (saloons) proceed appropriately.
Before mounting the tension-relief strap, remove dust and dirt from the
upper region of the rear door in order to prevent scratching and abrasion when
travelling with the tow-bar rack.
Open the rear door of your vehicle. Guide the free end of the strap from the inside
to the outside between the rear door and the edge of the roof. Leave approxima-
tely 20 cm free between the strap anchor and the edge of the roof. Carefully close
the rear door. Make sure that the strap lies fl at and straight between the seals.
Now slowly pull the strap until the strap anchor meets the panel of the roof liner
and the rear door.

Make sure that any roof edge spoilers are not damaged
and that the functionality of the tension-relief strap is
not infl uenced by such spoilers.
Now attach the lock section of the strap to the U-bar as shown on Figures 1
to 4.

The tension-relief strap may not cover the third braking
light.
The tension-relief strap may not infl uence the
functionality of the rear windscreen wipers.
In order to release the tension-relief strap, press the lock down (Figure 6,
Position 1) and pull the strap out of the lock.

5.5 FOLDING OUT THE BICYCLE RACK

If you wish to operate the folding mechanism, always hold the
U-bracket with one hand to ensure that the rack is not able to
fold out suddenly. (Risk of injury)
To open the car boot, you may fold the rack down, even if bicycles are mounted.
To do this, fi rst loosen the block of the folding mechanism by pushing the
locking bolt down  and pushing the handle away from you . Hold the
U-bracket or bicycles with one hand, with the other hand pull the lever of the
folding mechanism upwards . Now you can fold the rack down.
