the right (in direction of travel) lashing eye and then the pull out part
onto the left lashing eye.

in place and tighten the securing screws .
– Check the attachment of the cross member by pulling it.
WARNING
When transporting the bicycles in the luggage compartment, ensure the safety of the passengers transported.
Install bicycle carrier
– Position the approved bicycle carrier on the middle of the cross
member, after pulling up the screw push the frame side rail (alu-
part) towards the cross member and screw the screw into the nut
⇒fig. 79.
– Slacken the screw and take it out of the moveable part of the
fixture; position the moveable part of the carrier, depending on
bicycle size, into one of the possible positions, so that it does not
come in contact with the boot lid. We recommend to place the move-
able part of the fixture in such a position that the holes are visible
between the screw and the moveable part.
– Insert the screw into the desired position and tighten.

and adjust according to the width of the bicycle fork.

the same time check if there is adequate room between the steering
arm of the bicycle and the window of the boot lid. If necessary adapt
the position of the moveable part of the bicycle carrier in such a way
that no collision can occur ⇒page 71.
– It is best to push the removed front wheel between the crank of the left
pedal and the bicycle frame, attach it with a strap to the front fork
⇒fig. 81, and/or to a fixing point.
– Make sure that it does not lead to damage of the trim panel of the
luggage compartment, the bicycle and the placed objects.
– Perform the installation of the second fixture and the attachment of
the bicycle analogously.
WARNING
Place the bicycles in the bicycle carrier in such a position that no collision between the steering arm and the side and/or rear window can occur.
Note
If the front wheel is equipped with disc brake, attach the wheel in such a way that the brake disc is opposite the frame.

other and open the clamp.
