Important instructions

  • The bike carrier is intended for carrying maximum 2 bikes (max. 30 kg).
  • Check the load (ball load) for your towbar in your car manual. If the car manual specifies a lower weight than the maximum load on the bike carrier, it is the lower weight limit that applies. Max. load = bike carrier’s weight + weight of bikes.
  • If the car is equipped with automatic boot/tailgate opening, this function must be disabled and the luggage compartment opened manually when the bike carrier is fitted.
  • Do not place the bikes so that the wheels hang in front of the exhaust pipe or otherwise come into contact with hot exhaust gases.
  • The vehicle driver is solely responsible for ensuring that the RMS system is in faultless condition and that it is securely fastened.
  • The vehicle’s driver is responsible for following local/regional regulations and legislation.
  • Since the bike carrier and bikes obstruct the car’s tail-lights and number plate, a tail-light bar should be fitted.
  • The bikes should contain no loose items during  transport.
  • Check that straps and other fasteners are secure, re-tighten if necessary.
  • The vehicle’s total length increases when the bike carrier is attached. The bikes themselves may increase the vehicle’s total width and height. Take especial care when reversing.
  • Immediately replace any damaged or worn parts.
  • The bike carrier shall always be locked during transport.
  • The car’s road behaviour may change with the bike carrier fitted and loaded, particularly when taking curves and when braking. The applicable speed limits and other traffic regulations shall always be followed. Your speed should always be within an ample  safety margin with regard to road and traffic conditions and the load you are carrying, but never higher than 120 km/h under any circumstances. Warning! Drive slowly over speed bumps, maximum speed 10 km/h. Off-roaddriving is not permitted.
  • Tandem bikes may not be carried.
  • Thule is absolved from any liability concerning personal injuries and/or damage to property and any consequential damage to wealth caused by faulty installation and/or use.
  • No modifications may be made to the product.
