Towbar-mounted bicycle rack
*
When using a bicycle rack, the bicycle racks
that Volvo has developed are recommended.
This is in order to avoid damage to the car and
in order to achieve the maximum possible
safety during a journey. Volvo's bicycle racks
are available for purchase at authorised Volvo
dealers.
Carefully follow the instructions enclosed with
the bicycle rack.
•
Bicycle rack including load must weigh a
maximum of 75 kg (165 pounds).
•
The bicycle rack may be designed for a
maximum of three bicycles.
WARNING
Incorrect use of the bicycle rack may cause
damage to the towbar and car.
The bicycle rack can loosen from the tow-
bar if it
•
is incorrectly fitted on the towball
•
is overloaded, see the bicycle rack's
instructions for maximum load weight
•
is used for carrying something other
than bicycles.
The car's driving characteristics are affected
when a bicycle rack is fitted on the towbar.
For example, due to:
•
increased weight
•
reduced acceleration capacity
•
reduced ground clearance
•
changed braking capacity.
Recommendations for loading
bicycles on the bicycle rack
The larger the distance between the load's
centre of gravity and the towball, the greater
the load on the towbar.
Load according to the following recommenda-
tions:
•
Fit the heaviest bicycle furthest in, closest
to the car.
•
Keep the load symmetrical and as close to
the centre of the car as possible, e.g. by
loading the bicycles facing alternately if
several bicycles are loaded.
•
Remove loose objects from the bicycle for
transportation, e.g. bicycle basket, battery,
child seat. Partly to reduce the load on the
towbar and bicycle rack, and partly to
reduce the wind resistance, which affects
fuel consumption.
•
Do not use protective covers on the bicy-
cles. This may affect manoeuvrability,
impair visibility and increase fuel con-
