Note on disposal
Dispose of components, accessories and packaging for
environmentally sound recycling. Do not dispose of the lamp unit
with household or residual waste.
According to the European Directive 2012/19/EU and national
laws, electrical equipment that is no longer usable must be
collected separately and recycled in an environmentally friendly
manner.
Separate the lamps from the rack and take the components that
are no longer usable to a suitable collection point.
Ask your specialist dealer for advice.
Attention
The mounted bicycle rack and bicycles alter the vehicle’s driv-
ing and braking characteristics as well as its susceptibility to
side winds. Do not exceed a speed of 81 mph (130 km/h).
Do not cover the bicycles with items such as tarpaulins or pro-
tective covers as this greatly affects the driving characteristics
by increasing the area exposed to the wind.
Slide any heavy cargo in the luggage compartment as far for-
ward as possible to avoid excessively loading down the rear of
the vehicle.
Always drive appropriately to the road, traffic and weather con-
ditions and take special care when driving with a loaded
bicycle rack.
Otherwise, the rack and the bicycles mounted on it may come
loose, injuring other persons or causing an accident.
Attention
If the vehicle has an electrically operated rear lid, allow for the
necessary clearance when mounting the bicycle rack. If possi-
ble, deactivate the electric rear lid and operate it manually.
Remove the bicycle rack before using automatic car washes.
Otherwise, the bicycle rack, the vehicle and/or the car wash
could be damaged.
