General safety instructions
The vehicle owner is responsible for assuring that his or her field of
view and hearing are not impaired by the load or the condition of
the vehicle. It must be ensured that the vehicle and load are in
accordance with regulations and that vehicle road safety is not
impaired by the load.
The required lighting and lighting systems must also be present
and functional during the day.
These Mounting and Operating Instructions contains the general
approval of the bicycle rack for trailer hitches and must always the
kept in the vehicle when the rack is mounted.
Follow the legal regulations regarding use of the bicycle rack in the
country of use.
Danger of accident and injury!
The operating steps and safety instructions described in these
Mounting and Operating Instructions must be followed.
The bicycle rack for the trailer hitch is only intended for
transporting bicycles. The bicycle rack is not suitable for use on
rough terrain.
All screw connections and attachments of the bicycle rack and
the bicycles must be checked before assembly, before every trip
and during lengthy trips to ensure they are firmly seated, and
they must be retightened if necessary. This measure must be
repeated at regular intervals regardless of the condition of the
road.
During the trip, the driver should check the bicycle rack and
bicycles for shifting/changes in position by glancing in the rear
view mirror. If changes are noticed, proceed to the next possible
stopping area at reduced speed and retighten the screw
connections and attachments of the bicycle rack or bicycles.
If these instructions are not followed, the bicycle rack and/or the
load may come loose from the vehicle and cause injury to you or
to other persons, or may result in an accident.
Danger of accident and injury!
Do not use lubricants on the pre-mounted screw connections.
This could cause the screw connections to loosen and the
bicycle rack together with the mounted bicycles may come loose
from the vehicle; this may cause injury to you or to other person,
or may result in an accident.
Danger of accident!
Before starting a trip, check that the lighting system is
functioning properly. When the rear fog lamp on the bicycle rack
is switched on, the rear fog lamp of the vehicle must be switched
off;
In vehicle models whose type approval was initially issued after 01
October 1998, the mounted rear rack system and the load must
not cover the third brake lamp of the vehicle. The third brake lamp
of the vehicle must be visible: on the left and right, relative to the
longitudinal vehicle axis, at a horizontal angle of 10°; at the top
relative to the top edge of the lamp, at a vertical angle of 10°; and
at the bottom, relative to the lower edge of the lamp, at a vertical
angle of 5°. If these values are not met, a "third" replacement
brake lamp must be installed.
Danger of accident!
The mounted bicycle rack and bicycles alter the driving and
braking characteristics and the lateral wind sensitivity of the
vehicle. A maximum speed of 130 km/h must not be exceeded.
Do not cover the bicycles with tarps, protective covers or similar
since this greatly influences the areas exposed to the wind and
the driving behaviour.
Slide any heavy cargo in the luggage compartment as far
forward as possible to avoid excessively loading down the rear
of the vehicle.
Always adjust your driving style to the road, traffic and weather
conditions and exercise special care when driving with a loaded
bicycle rack.
Danger of accident!
If the load extends more than 40 cm beyond the outer edge of
the lit area of the side-marker lamps or tail lamps of the rear rack
system, the load must be marked at most 40 cm from the edge
and at most 150 cm above the road surface.
Separately mark the bicycle wheels extending out laterally
during transport.
When driving at night, cover the rear lights and reflectors of the
bicycles to prevent confusion with the rearward-facing vehicle
lighting and to avoid hindering or confusing other road users.
Attention
If the vehicle is equipped with an electrical luggage
compartment lid, allow for the necessary clearance when
mounting the bicycle rack. If possible, the electrical luggage
compartment lid should be de-activated and operated manually.
Remove the bicycle rack before using automatic car washes.
Otherwise, the bicycle rack, the vehicle and/or the car wash
could be damaged.
Environmental protection notice
Remove the bicycle rack when not in use to lower fuel
consumption.
