Opel 2016 ASTRA K, Owner'S Manual, Page: 74 / 345

72 Storage
Attach the pedal crank by rotating the
attachment screw on the pedal crank
mount.
Place the wheel recesses such that
the bicycle is more or less horizontal.
Here, the distance between the
pedals and the tailgate should be at
least 5 cm.
Both bicycle tyres must be in the
wheel recesses.
Caution
Make sure to pull out the wheel
recesses as far as necessary to
have both bicycle tyres placed in
the recesses. Otherwise a
horizontal mounting of the bicycle
is not ensured. Disregard could
lead to damage of the bicycle
wheels caused by hot exhaust
fumes.
Align the bicycle in the longitudinal
direction of the vehicle: Slightly
loosen the pedal mount.
Place the bicycle upright using the
rotary lever on the pedal crank
recess.
If the two bicycles obstruct one
another, the relative positions of the
bicycles can be adapted by adjusting
the wheel recesses and the rotary
lever on the pedal crank recess until
the bicycles no longer touch one
another. Make sure there is sufficient
clearance from the vehicle.
Tighten the attachment screw for the
pedal bearing mount to its maximum
point by hand.
Secure both bicycle wheels to the
wheel recesses using the strap
retainers.
Check the bicycle to make sure it is
secure.
