A.1 Thule assumes no liability for injury to
persons, damage to movable or immovable
property, loss of profit, or any other

mounting instructions or any other
instructions given, in writing or verbally, by
Thule or a Thule dealer.
A.2 The carrier and its parts must not be
modified in any way.

any questions about the operation, use
and limits of the carrier. Read all of the

carefully before mounting and using
the carrier.
B.0 Fitting
B.1 Check the assembly instructions to make
sure that all the necessary parts of the

C.0 Loading
C.1 The maximum load for the carrier, as
specified in the assembly instructions, must
not be exceeded. In addition, the maximum
load recommended for the vehicle
itself always takes priority over the load
specified in the assembly instructions. It is
always the lower recommended maximum
load that applies and that must not be
exceeded.

specified in the assembly instructions,
applies to vehicles in motion as well as
parked vehicles.
C.3 The load must be carefully secured. Elastic
bungees must not be used.

C.4 If the vehicle is equipped with an automatic
boot or tailgate opening function, this
function must be disabled and the luggage
compartment must be opened manually
when the rear-mounted carrier is fitted, to
avoid damage to the vehicle and/or the
carrier.
C.5 If necessary, the load must be fitted with
the appropriate lights and warning signs in
accordance with local laws.
C.6 In the case of vehicles first type-approved
after 1 October 1998, the rear-mounted
carrier and/or the load must not cover the
vehicle's third brake light. The vehicle's
third brake light must be visible from:
• 10 degrees to the left and to the right of
the longitudinal axis of the vehicle
• 10 degrees above and 5 degrees below the
horizontal axis
If these figures are not complied with, an
optional replacement brake light must be
fitted. National laws must be taken into
account while using the carrier.
C.7 Keep the mounting and safety instructions
and (if applicable) the ECE Type Approval
in the vehicle where the carrier is mounted.

D.1 This product is not approved for and
must not be used during off-road driving.
Adapt your speed to the prevailing road
conditions and the load being carried.

D.2 The vehicle driver is solely responsible
for ensuring that the carrier is in perfect
condition and that the carrier and load are
securely fastened (even if fitted by a third
person).
D.3 Every time the carrier is used, check that
the carrier is securely fitted after driving a
short distance (50km) and then at regular
intervals. If you notice any unusual noise,
movement of the load and/or carrier,
different behaviour of the vehicle or other
unusual conditions, stop and check that
the carrier and load are secured correctly,
and in accordance with the mounting
instructions.
