■Road safety information:
- Whatever country you use your multi-purpose modular platform, respect the highway code. Never drive with only the empty platform.
- The number plate and signal lights must be visible. Make sure that your platform does not hide them, if necessary add an extra number plate and lights.
- Never drive off-road with the platform attached to the vehicle.
- During transport, it is advisable to regularly check that the platform and the load are safely attached.
■Avoid:
Poor roads, sharp acceleration and braking, bad linkages.
We advise you:
- To slow down significantly before speed bumps or any other obstacle.
- To drive smoothly, to look ahead and to limit your speed in corners.
■Checks before and during travel:
- The driver of the vehicle has sole responsibility for the good condition and the correct fixing of the platform.
- Check the weight of the load that you will put onto the platform. Each kit specifies a maximum permissible load, not to be exceeded.
- For complete safety, the modular platform must be assembled and installed closely following the installation instructions that are described in the
provided leaflet.
- Before departure, check that the light unit is working.
- No object that could fall off should be left on the load and the platform during transport.
- Check the state of the straps and other fastening devices, re-tighten them if needed.
- The platform increases the length of the vehicle, and the Norauto accessory kits designed for this platform may modify its height and width. Be careful
when reversing.
- Replace damaged or worn-out items immediately.
- The platform must always be in its locked in position during travel.
- The vehicle may behave differently in corners or when braking when the load is in place. Speed limits and other relevant rules must of course be
respected.

- The manufacturer does not accept any responsibility for bodily and/or material damage resulting from erroneous mounting or usage.
- The equipment must not be modified in any way.
- If the vehicle is equipped with an automatic opening system for the boot, it is advisable to disable it or to only open the boot manually when the
multi-purpose modular platform is installed.
- For vehicle models whose approval dates from before 01/10/1998, the bicycle rack or the transported load must not hide the third brake light.
- Exhaust fumes being hot, never place in front of the exhaust pipe any items that could be damaged.
- Check the permissible weight on the drawbar. Never exceed this maximum weight.
■Maintenance of your multi-purpose modular towable platform:
