5.6 FOLDING MECHANISM
Image 18: folding mechanism
To open the boot, or reach it more easily if bicycles are mounted on the rack,
you can fold the bicycle rack down. To do this, you must fi rst rotate the
securing bracket of the folding mechanism to the side (Image 18).
Make sure you hold the U-bracket or bicycle wheels tightly with one
hand (risk of injury through the frame with the bicycles suddenly folding
backwards), and push the release lever of the folding mechanism down
with the other hand. Now you can fold the rack down.

5.6.2 FOLDING UP THE BICYCLE RACK
Raising the rack platform engages it back into the transport position (you
will hear a ‚CLICK‘). Secure the folding mechanism by turning the safety
catch back again and making sure it engages with the release lever .
