A.0 General

A.1 Thule assumes no liability for injury to persons, damage to

movable or immovable property, loss of proﬁt, or any other loss or

damage caused by the improper mounting or use of the carrier,

including but not limited to mounting or use in conﬂict with

the assembly instructions, mounting instructions or any other

instructions given, in writing or verbally, by Thule or a Thule dealer.

A.2 The carrier and its parts must not be modiﬁed in any way.

A.3 Consult your Thule dealer if you have any questions about the

operation, use and limits of the carrier. Read all of the instructions

and warranty information carefully before mounting and using the

carrier.

B.0 Fitting

B.1 Check the assembly instructions to make sure that all the

necessary parts of the carrier are present.

B.2 Read and follow the assembly instructions and the

recommendation list carefully, if the list is included. Then ﬁt the

unit in the correct sequence by following points 1, 2, 3 and so on.

B.3 Do not attempt to ﬁt the carrier in any other way than the way

shown in the mounting instructions.

C.0 Loading

C.1 The maximum load for the carrier, as speciﬁed in the assembly

instructions, must not be exceeded. In addition, the maximum

load recommended for the vehicle itself always takes priority over

the load speciﬁed in the assembly instructions. It is always the

lower recommended maximum load that applies and that must

not be exceeded.

C.2 The maximum load for the carrier, as speciﬁed in the assembly

instructions, applies to vehicles in motion as well as parked

vehicles.

C.3 The load must be carefully secured. Elastic bungees must not be

used.

C.4 Check and do not exceed the maximum weight per bike speciﬁed

in the mounting instructions.

C.5 When loading bikes on a rear door-mounted carrier or a tow bar

mounted carrier, always position the largest and heaviest bikes

closest to the car, followed by the smaller and lighter bikes.

C.6 The carrier is constructed to carry only standard bike frames.

Tandem bikes must not be transported on the carrier. Always

check and do not exceed the maximum bike frame size (diameter)

speciﬁed in the mounting instructions.

C.7 In the case of bikes with carbon frames or forks, always consult

the bike manufacturer or dealer to check if you are allowed to use

the carrier.

C.8 We recommend that you use the Thule Bike Frame Adapter 982

for rear-mounted carriers, such as the tow bar-mounted carriers

and rear door-mounted carriers.

C.9 Thule assumes no liability for any damage to carbon frames or

forks incurred during mounting and/or use of the carrier.

C.10 All easily removable parts of the bikes must be removed before

transportation, including but not limited to child seats, baskets,

locks (if not permanently mounted) and air pumps. These parts

can become detached during transportation because of increased

air resistance and vibration and can constitute a danger to other

road users.

C.11 If the vehicle is equipped with an automatic boot or tailgate

opening function, this function must be disabled and the luggage

compartment must be opened manually when the rear-mounted

carrier is ﬁtted, to avoid damage to the vehicle and/or the carrier.

C.12 If necessary, the load must be ﬁtted with the appropriate lights

and warning signs in accordance with local laws.

C.13 In the case of vehicles ﬁrst type-approved after 1 October 1998,

the rear-mounted carrier and/or the load must not cover the

vehicle’s third brake light. The vehicle’s third brake light must be

visible from:

• 10 degrees to the left and to the right of the longitudinal axis

of the vehicle

• 10 degrees above and 5 degrees below the horizontal axis

If these ﬁgures are not complied with, an optional replacement

brake light must be ﬁtted. National laws must be taken into

account while using the carrier.

C.14 Keep the mounting and safety instructions and (if applicable) the

ECE Type Approval in the vehicle where the carrier is mounted.

D.0 Important information for tow bar-mounted carriers

D.1 The tow bar-mounted carrier is not suitable for tow bars made

entirely of aluminium or GGG40 (cast iron).

D.2 The tow ball and the cylindrical part of the tow bar which reaches

2 cm below the tow ball must be made of steel. However, the tow

ball holder can be made of aluminium.

D.3 The combined weight of the carrier and the load must never

exceed the permitted tow bar capacity. Information about the tow

bar capacity can be found on a plate next to the tow bar or in the

vehicle information booklet.

D.4 Always check that the tow ball is free of dirt and oil and not

damaged. Some tow ball manufacturers cover their tow balls with

protective foil or coating. This foil or coating must be removed

before using the carrier, as it has a negative eect on friction and

stability.

D.5 Before departure, the functioning of the lights must be checked.

When using the fog light on the carrier, make sure that the fog

light on the vehicle is not switched on at the same time. The

vehicle’s fog light normally switches o automatically when the

vehicle detects that the plug is connected. Check if this is the case.

D.6 If the carrier moves on the tow ball or if the clamping force is

reduced when operating the fastening handle, the tow ball’s

clamping force must be adjusted in accordance with the mounting

instructions. Ask your local Thule dealer for advice or assistance.

D.7 If the carrier has a tilting mechanism for easy access to the boot,

make sure that the mechanism is securely locked in the transport

position during transportation.

D.8 Keep a safe distance between the carrier/bikes and the exhaust

pipe to avoid heat damage to the carrier and/or the bikes. The

hot exhaust pipe and/or the hot exhaust gas could damage

components of the carrier and/or the bikes. On certain vehicle

models an exhaust pipe extension is required. Consult your Thule

dealer if you are in doubt about the requirements that apply to

your vehicle.

E.0 Important information for rear door-mounted carriers

E.1 Never mount the carrier if your vehicle has an optional/additional

rear spoiler (even if the vehicle model is recommended in our

Thule Buyer’s Guide, see below).

E.2 Before mounting the carrier, always check the latest

recommendations for your vehicle in the Thule Buyer’s Guide on

www.thule.com.

E.3 New or updated recommendations may have been issued for your

vehicle after these instructions were published. If your vehicle is

not listed in the Thule Buyer’s Guide, there may be several reasons

for this:

E.3. A. your vehicle has a plastic/weak/large spoiler or

E.3. B. your vehicle has a plastic/glass or a divided rear door or

E.3. C. the car manufacturers do not allow the use of rear

door-mounted carriers or

E.3. D. your vehicle is very new to the market (available for less

than six months). The most up-to-date information can

always be found on www.thule.com.

E.4 The car manufacturers market their vehicle models with dierent

features in dierent countries around the world, e.g. a chrome part

or spoiler might be added to the rear door. Rear door-mounted

carriers must not be used on vehicles ﬁtted with accessories

of this kind, even if the vehicle model is approved in the Thule

Buyer’s Guide.

E.5 Thule assumes no liability for any damage or loss caused by any

incomplete or out-of-date information provided in the Thule

Buyer’s Guide as a result of regional dierences in vehicle features.

E.6 Be aware that it might not be possible to use a tailgate wiper

when the rear door-mounted carrier is mounted. The wiper

function must be disabled (e.g. by removing the fuse - please

check your vehicle information booklet) or the wiper must be

removed. On vehicles with automatic rear wiper operation,

this function must be fully disconnected when the rear door-

mounted carrier is mounted. Ask your car dealer or workshop for

assistance.

E.7 Always clean the surface and edges of the tailgate and rear door

before ﬁtting the rear door-mounted carrier.

E.8 Due to the risk of vehicle damages, it is not allowed to open the

vehicle trunk when having a rear door-mounted carrier loaded

with bikes mounted on the trunk. The bike carrier must be

unloaded before opening the vehicle trunk.

F.0 Driving characteristics and regulations

F.1 Check the load fastenings regularly.

35560032001

F.2 The vehicle driver is solely responsible for ensuring that the carrier

is in perfect condition and that the carrier and load are securely

fastened (even if ﬁtted by a third person).

F.3 Every time the carrier is used, check that the carrier is securely

ﬁtted after driving a short distance (50km) and then at regular

intervals. If you notice any unusual noise, movement of the load

and/or carrier, dierent behaviour of the vehicle or other unusual

conditions, stop and check that the carrier and load are secured

correctly, and in accordance with the mounting instructions.

F.4 The vehicle’s total length and/or height may increase when

a carrier is mounted. The bikes themselves may increase the

vehicle’s total width and height. Take special care when reversing

and/or entering garages or ferries etc.

F.5 Replace any damaged or worn parts of the carrier immediately.

During transportation, all levers, bolts and/or nuts must be

tightened in accordance with the mounting instructions.

F.6 Carriers ﬁtted with a lock must always be in the locked position.

The keys must be removed and kept inside the vehicle during

transport.

F.7 Be aware that the vehicle’s driving characteristics and braking

behaviour (including in curves) might change and that the vehicle

might become vulnerable to side winds when the carrier is ﬁtted.

F.8 Depending on the carrier model, the car’s tail lights can be

obstructed. If that is the case and if the carrier does not already

have integrated rear lights, an external light board must be ﬁtted.

F.9 An additional number plate might be required. This should be

attached to the appropriate part of the carrier in accordance with

local laws.

F.10 The vehicle’s speed must always be adjusted to the load being

carried and the current driving conditions, such as the road type,

road quality, wind conditions, trac intensity and applicable

speed limits, but must under no circumstances exceed 130 km/h.

Applicable speed limits and other trac regulations must always

be observed.

F.11 Drive slowly over speed bumps, maximum speed 10 km/h.

F.12 Be aware that wind noise may be generated during transport and

may vary depending on the vehicle and load.

F.13 For reasons of fuel economy and environmental impact as well as

the safety of other road users, the carrier must be removed from

the vehicle when not in use.

G.0 Maintenance

G.1 Clean the carrier regularly using warm water or car shampoo,

especially when using or after using the carrier in coastal areas

(the eect of salt water) or during periods when salt is applied to

the roads (winter time).

G.2 Lubricate the coupling mechanism (but not the surfaces in

contact with the tow ball surface) and other moving parts of the

carrier when required.

G.3 Remove the carrier before using an automatic car wash.

G.4 When the carrier is removed from the vehicle, it must be stored

in a dry storage area. All the components of the carrier must

be stored safely. Remember to clean and maintain the carrier in

accordance with the instructions.

G.5 If you lose part(s) of the carrier or part(s) of the carrier wear out,

only use genuine Thule spare parts as replacements. Spare parts

can be purchased from your dealer or manufacturer.

G.6 To ensure that you receive the spare parts quickly and to avoid

time-consuming queries, please provide the relevant product

details and the serial number when placing an order or making an

inquiry.

G.7 In order to ensure that you are able to replace lost or defective

keys as quickly as possible, note down the lock and key number

which can be found on your key.

conformément aux instructions de montage.

C.0 Chargement

C.1 Le poids de chargement maximal autorisé pour le porte-vélos, tel

que spéciﬁé dans les instructions d’assemblage, ne doit en aucun

cas être dépassé. Par ailleurs, la charge maximale préconisée

pour le véhicule lui-même a toujours priorité sur les spéciﬁcations

indiquées dans les instructions d’assemblage. C’est toujours le

poids maximal recommandé le plus faible qui s’applique, et qui ne

doit en aucun cas être dépassé.

C.2 Le poids maximal autorisé pour le porte-vélos, tel que spéciﬁé

dans les instructions d’assemblage, s’applique aux véhicules en

mouvement comme à l’arrêt.

C.3 Le chargement doit être correctement ﬁxé. Notez que l’utilisation

de tendeurs élastiques est strictement prohibée.

C.4 Contrôlez le poids maximal autorisé par vélo indiqué dans les

instructions de montage, et veillez à ne pas le dépasser.

C.5 Lors du chargement de vélos sur un porte-vélos sur hayon arrière

ou sur boule d’attelage, veillez à toujours placer les vélos les plus

lourds et les plus volumineux du côté le plus près de la voiture.

C.6 Le porte-vélos a été conçu pour des cadres de vélo standard.

Il est strictement interdit de transporter des tandems à l’aide

de ce porte-vélos. Contrôlez la taille de cadre de vélo maximale

autorisée (diamètre), telle qu’indiquée dans les instructions de

montage, et veillez à ne pas la dépasser.

C.7 Pour les vélos dotés d’un cadre ou de fourches en carbone,

consultez le fabricant ou le revendeur du vélo pour vous assurer

de l’utilisation possible du porte-vélos.

C.8 Nous recommandons l’utilisation de l’adaptateur pour cadre de

cadres ou de fourches en carbone survenant lors du montage et/

ou de l’utilisation du porte-vélos.

C.10 Tous les éléments pouvant être facilement démontés doivent

être retirés du vélo avant le transport, notamment le siège enfant,

panier, antivol (non ﬁxes) ou pompe à air. Cette liste est non

exhaustive. Ces éléments pourraient en eet se détacher lors

du transport en raison de l’augmentation des vibrations et de la

résistance à l’air, et constituer un danger pour les autres usagers

de la route.

C.11 Si le véhicule est équipé d’une fonction d’ouverture automatique

du core ou du hayon arrière, celle-ci doit impérativement

être désactivée : le compartiment à bagages doit être ouvert

chargement ne doivent en aucun cas couvrir le troisième feu stop,

qui doit pouvoir être visible à partir de :

• 10 degrés à gauche et à droite de l’axe longitudinal du véhicule ;

• 10 degrés au-dessus et 5 degrés en dessous de l’axe horizontal.

Si ces mesures ne sont pas respectées, il est impératif d’installer

un feu stop de remplacement. L’utilisation du porte-vélos doit en

tout temps tenir compte de la législation nationale en vigueur.

C.14 Conservez les instructions de montage ainsi que les consignes

de sécurité et, le cas échéant, l’attestation de type ECE dans le

véhicule équipé du porte-vélos.
