Before driving
When using the carrier system, the following
points must be checked before driving:
- Correct attachment of the carrier system to
the vehicle.
- Correct attachment of accessories.
- Folding out the lamps.
- Locking of all locks.
- Attachment of a registration plate that
corresponds to the registration plate on the
vehicle.
- Function of the lighting on the carrier
system (rear light, brake light, turn
indicator, rear fog light, licence plate light).
- Clear view from behind of the lighting and
the number plate of the carrier system.
- Clear view of the driver in all directions.
- If the load protrudes laterally more than
380 mm beyond the lamp holder, the lamp
position ( à paragraph 7) must be adjusted.
If the adjustment is not sufficient, the load
must be marked as follows:
- By a white light to the front.
- By a red light to the rear.
- Maximum 1500 mm above the road
surface.
- If the rear fog lamp is used on the carrier
system, the rear fog lamp on the vehicle
must be deactivated.
- If a third brake light on the vehicle is
concealed during transport, a third
replacement brake light must be fitted.
- In order to reduce the rear load, heavy
loads must be placed as far forward as
possible in the luggage compartment.
Recommendation if nothing is being
transported on the carrier system:
Remove the carrier system ( à paragraph 8)
and transport it, for example, in the luggage
compartment. This reduces fuel consumption,
makes parking easier and protects the carrier
system.

While driving
When using the carrier system, the following
points must be observed while driving:
- The state of the load must be observed
regularly by looking into the rear-view mirror.
- If anything changes with the state of the load,
drive to the next possible place to stop at
reduced speed and check the fastening.
- It is not permitted to exceed a speed of 130
km/h.
- The larger side surface means the driver must
be prepared for increased susceptibility to
crosswinds.
- A change in braking behaviour must be
expected as a result of a change in load
distribution.
- Off-road driving is not permitted.
- Do not drive into the car wash.
- The correct fit of the carrier system with
accessories and the attachment of the load
must be checked approx. 10 km after the start
of the journey.
- For longer journeys, the correct fit of the carrier
system with accessories and the attachment of
the load must be checked every 500 km. This
should be done more frequently when driving
on uneven road conditions.
- Assistance systems (e.g. parking aid, parking
assistant, automatic luggage compartment lid)
can be deactivated automatically by assigning a
plug in the carrier system.
v Please refer to your vehicle's manual for
information regarding assistance systems.
