THULE ASSUMES NO LIABILITY FOR INJURY TO PERSONS,
DAMAGE TO MOVABLE OR IMMOVABLE PROPERTY, LOSS OF
PROFIT, OR ANY OTHER LOSS OR DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE
IMPROPER MOUNTING OR USE OF THE CARRIER, INCLUDING
BUT NOT LIMITED TO MOUNTING OR USE IN CONFLICT WITH
THE ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS, MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
OR ANY OTHER INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN, IN WRITING OR
VERBALLY, BY THULE OR A THULE DEALER.
CONSULT YOUR THULE DEALER IF YOU HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE OPERATION, USE AND LIMITS OF
THE PRODUCT.
ASSEMBLY AND MOUNTING
• Check the assembly instructions to make sure that all the
necessary parts of the product are present.
• In addition to the product instructions, due consideration
should also be given to the operating instructions of the
given vehicle.
• The vehicle driver is solely responsible for ensuring that the
carrier is in perfect condition and that the carrier is securely
mounted (even if mounted by a third person).
• Never mount the carrier on a vehicle with a maximum
weight limit lower than the weight of the product. Check the
vehicle instruction manual.
• If the vehicle is equipped with an automatic boot or tailgate
opening function, this function must be disabled and the
luggage compartment must be opened manually when the
carrier is fitted, to avoid damage to the vehicle and/or the
carrier.
• Do not attempt to fit the carrier in any other way than the
way shown in the mounting instructions.
• Do not modify the product in any way.
• The carrier must only be fitted to hitch receivers with pin-
hole position according to mounting instruction.
• The combined weight of the carrier and the load must never
exceed the permitted hitch receiver capacity.
• Always check that the hitch receiver is free of dirt and not
damaged before mounting the carrier.
• The carrier shall be frequently re-tightened according to
the mounting instruction. If the carrier moves in the hitch
receiver or if the clamping force is reduced when operating
the fastening handle, the hitch clamping force must be
adjusted in accordance with the mounting instructions.
• Keep a safe distance between the carrier and the exhaust
pipe to avoid heat damage to the carrier. The hot exhaust
pipe and/or the hot exhaust gas could damage components
of the carrier. On certain vehicle models an exhaust pipe
extension is required. Consult your Thule dealer if you are in
doubt about the requirements that apply to your vehicle.
• An additional number plate might be required. This should
be attached to the appropriate part of the carrier in
accordance with local laws.
• Keep the mounting and safety instructions and (if
applicable) the ECE Type Approval in the vehicle where the
carrier is mounted.
USE
• Never attach additional items to the carrier when it is folded
on the vehicle.
• Every time the carrier is used, check that the carrier is
securely fitted after driving a short distance (50km) and
then at regular intervals. If you notice any unusual noise,
movement of the carrier, different behaviour of the vehicle
or other unusual conditions, stop and check that the carrier
is secured correctly, and in accordance with the mounting
instructions.

• Before driving away, ensure that the cover is properly
attached to the folded tent. Check at regular intervals
on longer trips and every 2 hours when driving on rough
terrain.
• Do not drive a vehicle while the tent is deployed.
• The vehicle's speed must always be adjusted to the load
being carried and the current driving conditions, such as the
road type, road quality, wind conditions, traffic intensity and
applicable speed limits, but must under no circumstances
exceed 130 km/h (80 mph). Applicable speed limits and
other traffic regulations must always be observed.
• Drive slowly over speed bumps, maximum speed 10 km/h
(6.2 mph).
• Remove the carrier before using an automatic car wash.
• It is recommended to remove the carrier when it is not in
use.
• If necessary, the load must be fitted with the appropriate
lights and warning signs in accordance with local laws.
• Before departure, the functioning of the lights must be
checked. When using the fog light on the carrier, make
sure that the fog light on the vehicle is not switched on at
the same time. The vehicle's fog light normally switches
off automatically when the vehicle detects that the plug is
connected. Check if this is the case.
• If the carrier has a tilting mechanism for easy access to the
boot, make sure that the mechanism is securely locked in
the transport position during transportation.
• The vehicle's total length and/or height may increase when
a carrier is mounted. Take special care when reversing and/
or entering garages or ferries etc.
• Do not let the load exceed national regulations in regards to
vehicle width. For safety reasons, Thule Group recommends
to not carry loads wider than the vehicle width.
• Replace any damaged or worn parts of the carrier
immediately. During transportation, all levers, bolts and/or
nuts must be tightened in accordance with the mounting
instructions.
• Be aware that the vehicle's driving characteristics and
braking behaviour (including in curves) might change and
that the vehicle might become vulnerable to side winds
when the carrier is fitted.
DEPLOYED TENT
• KEEP ALL FLAME AND HEAT SOURCES AWAY FROM THE
TENT FABRIC. The tent meets the flammability requirements
of CPAI-84 and CGSB 182-1. The fabric may burn if left in
continuous contact with any flame source. The application of
any foreign substance to the tent fabric may render the flame
resistant properties ineffective.
• Do not use fuel-burning or oxygen-consuming devices inside or
close to the tent. This includes candles, gas lanterns, kerosene
lamps and cooking and heating appliances.
• Do not put the tent near a campfire or any other flame source.
Keep a distance of at least 19ft / 6 m.
• Fall or strangulation hazard - Never leave a child unattended in
the tent.
• Do not allow children to play around or on top of a folded up
tent.
