WARNING
When transporting the bicycles in the luggage compartment, ensure the
safety of the passengers transported.Install bicycle carrier– Position the approved bicycle carrier on the middle of the cross
member, after pulling up the screw push the frame side rail (alu-
part) towards the cross member and screw the screw into the nut
⇒fig. 93.
– Slacken the screw and take it out of the moveable part of the
fixture; position the moveable part of the carrier, depending on
bicycle size, into one of the possible positions, so that it does not
come in contact with the boot lid. We recommend to place the move-
able part of the fixture in such a position that the holes are visible
between the screw and the moveable part.
– Insert the screw into the desired position and tighten.
Put bicycle into the bicycle carrier– Remove the front wheel before putting the bicycle into the vehicle.
– Slacken the quick tension jack on the fixing axle of the bicycle carrier
and adjust according to the width of the bicycle fork.
– Fit the bicycle fork onto the fixing axle and tighten with the quick
tension jack ⇒fig. 94.
– Position the left pedal of the bicycle forward, in order to attach the
front wheel more easily.

– Slacken the screw ⇒page 77, fig. 93 and push the bicycle holder
together with the attached bicycle to the left (in the direction of the
arrow), so that no collision between the steering arm and the side
window of the luggage compartment can occur.
– Carefully guide the boot lid to the bottom without letting it go and at
the same time check if there is adequate room between the steering
arm of the bicycle and the window of the boot lid. If necessary adapt
the position of the moveable part of the bicycle carrier in such a way
that no collision can occur ⇒page 77.
– It is best to push the removed front wheel between the crank of the left
pedal and the bicycle frame, attach it with a strap to the front fork
⇒page 77, fig. 95, and/or to a fixing point.
– Make sure that it does not lead to damage of the trim panel of the
luggage compartment, the bicycle and the placed objects.
– Perform the installation of the second fixture and the attachment of
the bicycle analogously.
WARNING
Place the bicycles in the bicycle carrier in such a position that no collision
between the steering arm and the side and/or rear window can occur.
Note
If the front wheel is equipped with disc brake, attach the wheel in such a way that
the brake disc is opposite the frame.
Secure the stability of the bicycles with a strap– To slacken the rubber part of the clamp, push both parts against each
other and open the clamp.
– Position the clamp with the rubber part to the front (in direction of
travel) as far as possible below the saddle rod and close the clamp
⇒fig. 96.
– When transporting two bicycles tension the strap ⇒fig. 96 between
the saddle rods, by pushing the bicycles apart.
– Hang the carabines at the ends of the strap into the lashing eyes
behind the rear seats.
