Danger of accident and injury!
The bicycle rack for the trailer hitch is only intended for
transporting bicycles.
Only bicycles with a max. weight of 30 kg each may be
transported on the bicycle rack.
The maximum allowable load capacity of the bicycle rack, the
tow bar load of the trailer hitch, the allowable total vehicle weight
and the maximum allowable vehicle axle load (see vehicle
owner's manual) must not be exceeded. If these instructions are
not followed, the bicycle rack together with the mounted bicycles
may come loose from the vehicle and cause injury to you or to
other persons, or may result in an accident.
Danger of accident and injury!
The bicycles must be mounted evenly and with a low centre of
gravity on the bicycle rack. Each must be secured against falling
off using a bracket on the bicycle frame and lashing straps on
the front and rear wheels.
Before mounting, remove child seats and all lose parts, such as
water bottles, saddlebags, etc., from the bicycles and stow
them.
If this is not adhered to, the bicycles and/or the loose parts could
come loose from the vehicle during a trip and lead to an
accident, causing injury and property damage.
Danger of injury!
Mount and dismount the bicycles together with another person.
Secure the bicycles against slipping off/tilting.
Attention
Mount heavy bicycles close to the vehicle and light bicycles
(e. g. children's bikes) farther out on the bicycle rack.
Mount the first bicycle with the toothed gear wheel facing the
vehicle.
