When using rear carrier systems (e.g. bicycle racks) on the towing bracket, it is important not to exceed the maximum load.
The total weight of the rear carrier system and its load must not exceed 75 kg for this vehicle. However, it is also important to observe the maximum permissible load for the rear carrier system.
The greater the distance from the towing bracket, the smaller the maximum permissible load on the rear carrier system. For this reason, you should secure heavy objects as near as possible to the towing bracket.
Note the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the rear carrier system.
Please make sure that the rear carrier system is approved for use on your vehicle.
The use of an unsuitable rear carrier system could cause severe damage to the towing bracket. The towing bracket could then break and cause an accident.
Note
Degrease and clean the ball joint before using a rear carrier system.
