Rear carrier system
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.

62Storage
Adapting the rear carrier systemto a bicycle
With the rotary lever on the pedal
crank recess, roughly adapt the
adjustable pedal crank unit to the
protrusion of the pedal crank.
If the bicycle has straight pedal
cranks, unscrew the pedal crank unit
completely (position 5).
If the bicycle has curved pedal
cranks, screw in the pedal crank unit all the way (position 1).
Press the release lever and withdraw
the wheel recesses.
Push the release lever on the strap
retainer and remove the strap
retainer.

Storage63
Prepare the bicycle for
attachment
Note
The maximum width for the pedal
crank is 38.3 mm and the maximum
depth is 14.4 mm.
Rotate the left pedal (without a chain
cog) vertically downwards. The pedal
on the left pedal crank must be
horizontal.
The front bicycle must have its front
wheel facing left.
The rear bicycle must have its front
wheel facing right.
Attaching a bicycle to the rear
carrier system
Put on the bicycle. The pedal crank
here must be placed in the pedal
crank recess opening as shown in the
illustration.
Caution
Make sure that the pedal does not
touch the surface of the rear end
carrier. Otherwise the bicycle
crankset might be damaged
during transport.
Insert pedal crank mount into outer
rail of each pedal crank recess from
above and slide downwards as far as
it will go.

64Storage
Attach the pedal crank by rotating the
attachment screw on the pedal crank
mount.
Place the wheel recesses such that
the bicycle is more or less horizontal. Here, the distance between the
pedals and the tailgate should be at
least 5 cm.
Both bicycle tyres must be in the
wheel recesses.
Caution
Make sure to pull out the wheel
recesses as far as necessary to have both bicycle tyres placed in
the recesses. Otherwise a
horizontal mounting of the bicycle
is not ensured. Disregard could
lead to damage of the bicycle
wheels caused by hot exhaust
fumes.
Align the bicycle in the longitudinal 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.

Storage65
Secure both bicycle wheels to the
wheel recesses using strap retainers.
Check the bicycle to make sure it is
secure.Caution
Ensure gap between bicycle and
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.Note
It is recommended to attach a
warning sign at the rearmost bicycle to increase visibility.
Removing a bicycle from the
rear carrier system
Undo strap retainers on both bicycle
tyres.
Hold on to the bicycle, loosen the attachment screw for the pedal
bearing mount, then lift the pedal
bearing mount to remove it.

66Storage
Retracting the rear carrier
system
Push the pedal crank mounts into the
pedal crank recess as shown in the
illustration.
Insert the strap retainer and pull
tightly downwards as far as possible.
Press release lever and slide in wheel recesses all the way as far as they will
go.
Disengage the locking lever on the
diagonal support and fold both pedal crank recesses down.
