overhead obstructions, such as a
garage door, to avoid damage to
the tailgate. Always check the
moving area above and behind the tailgate.
Note
The installation of certain heavy
accessories onto the tailgate may
affect its ability to remain open.

Rear carrier system for four
bicycles
The rear carrier system (Flex-Fix
system) allows two bicycles to be
attached to a pull-out carrier
integrated into the vehicle floor. It is
possible to attach two further bicycles
on an adapter. The transportation of
other objects is not permitted.
The maximum load of the rear carrier
system is 80 kg with attached adapter and 60 kg without attached adapter.
The maximum load per bicycle on the
pull-out carrier is 30 kg. This allows
the attachment of electrically-
powered bicycles to the pull-out
carrier. The maximum load per
bicycle on the adapter 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
If the rear carrier system is
extended and the vehicle is fully
loaded, the chassis clearance will
be reduced.
Drive carefully whenever the road has a strong inclination or when
driving over a ramp, bump, etc.
