General safety instructions

The vehicle owner is responsible for assuring that his or her field of

vision and hearing are not impaired by the load or the condition of

the vehicle. It must be ensured that the vehicle and load are in

accordance with the regulations and that vehicle road safety is not

impaired by the load.

The required lighting and lighting systems must also be present

and functional during daylight.

These Mounting and Operating instructions contain the general

approval of the bicycle rack for trailer hitches and must always be

kept in the vehicle when the rack is mounted.

Follow the legal regulations regarding use of the bicycle rack in the

country of use.

Attention

The operating steps and safety instructions described in these

mounting and operating Instructions must be adhered to.

The bicycle rack for the trailer hitch is intended only for

transporting bicycles. The bicycle rack is not suitable for

use on rough terrain.

All screw connections and attachments of the bicycle rack and

the bicycles must be tested before assembly, before every trip

and during lengthy trips to ensure they are sitting firmly, and

they must be retightened if necessary. This check must be

repeated at regular intervals regardless of road conditions.

During the trip, the driver should check the bicycle rack and

bicycles for any shifting/changes in position by glancing in the

rear view mirror.

If changes are noticed, proceed to the next possible stopping

area at reduced speed and retighten the screw connections

and attachments of the bicycle rack or bicycles.

If these instructions are not followed, the bicycle rack and/or the

load may free themselves from the vehicle and cause injury to

you and other persons, or may result in an accident.

Attention

Do not use lubricants on the pre-mounted screw connections.

This could cause the screw connections to loosen and the

bicycle rack together with the mounted bicycles may free

themselves from the vehicle; this may cause injury to you

and other persons, or may result in an accident.

Attention

If the load (the bicycles) extends more than 40 cm beyond the

outer edge of the lit area of the side-marker lights or tail lights

of the rear rack system, the load must be marked at most 40 cm

from the edge and at most 150 cm above the road surface,

at the front by a white light and at the back by a red light.

Separately mark the bicycle wheels extending out laterally

during transport.

When driving at night, cover the rear lights and reflectors of the

bicycles to prevent confusion with the rearward-facing-vehicle

lighting and to avoid hindering or confusing other road users.

Failure to do so could result in an accident

Attention

Before starting a trip, check that the lighting system is

functioning correctly. When the rear fog light on the bicycle

rack is switched on, the rear fog light of the vehicle must be

switched off, i.e they must be illuminated at the same time.

In vehicle models whose type approval was initially issued after

1 October 1998, the mounted rear-rack system and the load

must not cover the third brake light of the vehicle. The third brake

light of the vehicle must be visible: on the left and right, relative

to the longitudinal vehicle axis, at a horizontal angle of 10°;

at the top relative to the top edge of the lamp, at a vertical-angle

of 10°; and at the bottom, relative to the lower e-dge of the lamp,

at a vertical angle of 5°. If these values are not met, a “third”

replacement brake light must be installed.

Failure to do so could result in an accident

Attention

The mounted bicycle rack and bicycles alter the driving and

braking characteristics as well as the lateral wind sensitivity

of the vehicle. A maximum speed of 130 km/h must not be

exceeded.

Do not cover the bicycles with tarps, protective covers or

s imilar as this greatly influences both areas exposed to the

wind and driving behaviour.

Slide any heavy cargo in the luggage compartment as far

forward as possible to avoid excessively loading down the

rear of the vehicle.

Always adjust your driving style to the road, traffic and w-eather

conditions and exercise special care when driving with a loaded

bicycle rack.

If these instructions are not followed, the bicycle rack and/or the

load may free themselves from the vehicle and cause injury to

you and other persons, or may result in an accident.

Attention

If the vehicle is equipped with an electrical luggage compartment

lid, allow for the necessary clearance when mounting the

bicycle rack. If possible, the electrical luggage compartment

lid should be de-activated and operated manually.

Remove the bicycle rack before using automatic car washes.

Otherwise, the bicycle rack, the vehicle and/or the car-wash

could be damaged.
