lost parts of the load (e.g. air pump, battery) and bulky
accessories (e.g. child seat, side bags) before setting off.

Residual risks
Risk of accidents due to changed driving behaviour
The driving behaviour of the vehicle changes when the
rear carrier system/accessories are mounted and loaded.
X
Allow for increased braking distances and drive at an
appropriate speed.
Danger of accident due to incorrect installation
Due to incorrect installation, the rear carrier system/ac-
cessories or load can come loose during travel and cause
accidents.
X
Do not use elastic tensioning straps.
X
Check all bolted connections and tensioning straps for
damage, firm hold and proper fit for the first time after
initial assembly, after a short travel distance (approx.
50 km) and then before all travel, and tighten if neces-
sary. Replace damaged parts immediately with original
spare parts.
X
In case of unusual noises or changed driving behaviour,
make sure the load and rear carrier system/accessories
are fit securely.
Damage due to increased vehicle dimensions
The dimensions of the vehicle increase when the rear
carrier system/accessories are mounted and loaded.
X
Pay attention to the new vehicle dimensions while driv-
ing (e.g. underpasses, multi-storey car parks).
X
When using the rear carrier system, note that the func-
tion of the parking sensors and reversing camera may
be restricted.
Damage caused by swinging open the door
If the door is swung open fully, the load can damage the
shell of the vehicle.
