The rear carrier system (Flex-Fix
system) allows bicycles to be
attached to a pull-out carrier
integrated into the vehicle floor. The
transportation of other objects is not
permitted.
The maximum load of the rear carrier
system is 40 kg. The maximum load
per bicycle is 20 kg.
The wheelbase of a bicycle must not
exceed 1.15 metres. Otherwise the
secure fastening of a bicycle is not
possible.
If not in use, the carrier system must
be slid back into the vehicle floor.
There must not be any objects on the bicycles that could become loose
during transportation.Caution
Do not attach bicycles with carbon pedal cranks to bicycle carriers.
The bicycles might get damaged.

direction of the vehicle: Slightly
loosen the pedal mount.
Place the bicycle upright using the
rotary lever on the pedal crank
recess.
If the two bicycles obstruct one
another, the relative positions of the
bicycles can be adapted by adjusting
the wheel recesses and the rotary
lever on the pedal crank recess until
the bicycles no longer touch one
another. Make sure there is sufficient
clearance from the vehicle.Tighten the attachment screw for the
pedal bearing mount to its maximum
point by hand.
Secure both bicycle wheels to the
wheel recesses using the strap
retainers.
Check the bicycle to make sure it is secure.
Caution

vehicle is at least 5 cm. If
necessary, loosen handlebar and swivel sideways.
The settings for the wheel recesses
and on the rotary lever on the pedal
crank recess should be noted and saved for each bicycle. Correct
presetting will facilitate refitting of the
bicycle.
It is recommended to attach a
warning sign at the rearmost bicycle
