When the child restraint system is not

in use, secure the seat with a seat belt

or remove it from the vehicle.

Note

Do not affix anything on the child

restraint systems and do not cover

them with any other materials.
A child restraint system which has

been subjected to stress in an

accident must be replaced.

Child restraint systems can be

fastened with:

● Three-point seat belt
● ISOFIX brackets
● Top-tether anchor

Three-point seat belt

Child restraint systems can be

fastened by using a three-point seat

belt. Depending on the size of the

used child restraint systems, up to

three child restraint systems can be

attached to the rear seats. After

fastening the child restraint system

the seat belt has to be tightened

restraint systems without

permanent guide

● Installation of ISOFIX child

restraint systems with permanent

guide

Installation of ISOFIX child restraint

The vehicle might be equipped with

guides in front of the mounting

brackets to support the installation of

the child restraint system.

The covers of the guides will swivel

backwards automatically when

attaching the child restraint system.

Top-tether anchors

Depending on country specific

equipment, the vehicle might have

two or three fastening eyes.
Top-Tether anchors are marked with

the symbol : for a child restraint.

For non-ISOFIX child restraints,

Top-Tether anchors.
For ISOFIX child restraints, fasten the

Top-Tether strap to the Top-Tether

anchors in addition to the ISOFIX

mounting.

Rear carrier system

Rear carrier system for three

bicycles

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 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

electrically-powered bicycle to the

rear carrier system. The maximum

load per bicycle 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 ground clearance will

be reduced.
Drive carefully whenever the road

has a steep inclination or when

driving over a ramp, bump, etc.

62

Storage

Caution

Consult your bicycle dealer before

attaching bicycles with carbon

frames. The bicycles may get

damaged.

Note

The tail lights of the vehicle will be

deactivated if the tail lights of the

rear carrier system are installed.

Extending

Open the tailgate.

9 Warning

No-one should be in the extension

zone of the rear carrier system,

risk of injury.

Pull release lever up. The rear carrier

system disengages and travels

quickly out of the rear bumper.

Completely pull out the rear carrier

system until you hear it engage.
Ensure that it is not possible to push

in the rear carrier system without

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

will not engage correctly, do not fit

objects to the system and slide the

system back. Seek the assistance

of a workshop.

Attaching further bicycles

The attachment of further bicycles is

similar to the attachment of the first

bicycle. Additionally, some steps

must be considered:

1. Before putting on the bicycle,

always unfold the wheel recesses

for the next bicycle if necessary.

2. Always rotate the pedals into an

appropriate position before

putting on the bicycle.

3. Position the bicycles on the rear

carrier system alternately aligned

to the left and to the right.

4. Align the bicycles with the one

attached previously. The wheel

hubs of the bicycles must not

touch each other.

5. Attach the bicycles with mounting

brackets and strap retainers as

described for the first bicycle. The

mounting brackets should be

fixed in parallel.
Use the long mounting bracket to

attach the second bicycle to the

rack.

Storage

bracket to attach the third bicycle.

The bracket must be fixed

between the frames of the second

wheels of the third bicycle to the

wheel recesses using the

tensioning straps.

It is recommended to attach a

warning sign to the rearmost bicycle,

to increase visibility.
