special care when driving as the load alters the distribution of weight on the
car axles as foreseen by the manufacturer of the vehicle;

it immediately;

plate, which must comply with national regulations in terms of size and
lighting; the electrical connections of the lighting board must comply with
the car manufacturer’s recommendations and consequently be carried out by
skilled personnel;
»If the third stop light is covered by the carrier or bikes, an additional one must
be installed; it is the user’s responsibility to adopt appropriate measures to
ensure that all the lights on the vehicle are perfectly visible as specied in
the Road Rules;

so that it is fully visible or a duplicate of the plate must be displayed on the
bike carrier in compliance with applicable laws;

carrying any bikes; when not in use, always remove it from the vehicle and
store it in a dry, sheltered place;

check the condition of the straps, check all parts for wear and/or damage,
etc.).
