5.8 Bicycle carrier
The maximum permissible load for
the bicycle carrier is 50 kg.
The handling of the trailer carriage changes
considerably when the bicycle carrier has been
loaded. You should adjust your speed to take
this into consideration:
• Ensure that you make full use of the permitted
towbar load when the bicycle carrier has been
loaded and correct it accordingly.
• Your critical speed will be dramatically redu-
ced even if you have loaded the bicycle carrier
optimally.
• The driver of the vehicle is responsible for
ensuring that bicycles are fastened securely.
The loading system must be folded up and
secured with the available clips even when it
is not loaded.
• Ensure that existing lighting equipment is not
covered partially or completely by the load.
5.7 Guide rail for outer tent
The guide rail for the outer tent, which is used
to insert the weather strip, is beaded at the rear
of the camper on a level with the taillights as
well as at the lower edge of the front end of the
camper.
The filling ribbon of the guide rail for
the outer tent deliberately hangs se-
veral centimetres out of the guide rail
to ensure the rainwater and moisture
will drip off. Never cut off the extra
bit of filling ribbon that hangs out.
