Rear carrier system

Rear carrier system for three

bicycles

The rear carrier system (Flex-Fix

system) allows one bicycle 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 60 kg with attached adapter

and 30 kg without attached adapter.

This allows the attachment of an

58

Storage

electrically-powered bicycle 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.

Caution

Consult your bicycle dealer before

attaching bicycles with carbon

frames. The bicycles may get

damaged.

Extending

Open the tailgate.

9 Warning

No-one should be in the extension

zone of the rear carrier system,

risk of injury.

pulling the release lever again.

9 Warning

It is only permissible to fit objects

to the rear carrier system if the

system has been correctly

engaged. If the rear carrier system
