The rear carrier system (Flex-Fix
system) allows one bicycle to be attached to an extendable carrier
integrated into the vehicle floor. It is
possible to attach one further bicycle on an adapter. The transportation of
other objects is not permitted.
The maximum load of the rear carrier
system is 50 kg with attached adapter
and 30 kg without attached adapter.
This allows the attachment of an
electrically-powered bicycle to the
rear carrier system. The maximum
load on the adapter is 20 kg.
The wheelbase of a bicycle must not
exceed 1.15 m. Otherwise the secure
fastening of a bicycle is not possible.
If not in use, the rear 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.
Caution
Consult your bicycle dealer before
attaching bicycles with carbon
frames. The bicycles might get
damaged.
