Depending on the bicycle rack 's design, di.erent
numbers of bicycles can be transpor ted.
The following bicycle rack designs are possible:
R When mounted byattaching toball head 1,
th e maximum load capacity is 75 kg. You can
transport up tothre e bicycles. R
When mounted on ball head 1and guide pin
2, the maximum load capacity is 100 kg. Yo u
can transport up tofour bicycles.
The maximum load capacity is calculate d fromthe
we ight of the bicycle rack and the bicycle rack
load.
Obser vethe no tes on driving with a roof load,
trailer or fully laden vehicle (/ page 170).
When using a bicycle rack , set the tyre pressure
