5.4 SECURING THE TENSION-RELIEF STRAP
These instructions describe the use with estates and compact vehicles with a hatchback (rear door). With boots (saloons) pro-
ceed appropriately.
Before mounting the tension-relief strap, remove dust and dirt from the upper region of the rear door in order to prevent
scratching and abrasion when travelling with the tow-bar rack.
Open the rear door of your vehicle. Guide the free end of the strap from the inside to the outside between the rear door and the
edge of the roof. Leave approximately 20 cm free between the strap anchor and the edge of the roof. Carefully close the rear
door. Make sure that the strap lies flat and straight between the seals. Now slowly pull the strap until the strap anchor meets
the panel of the roof liner and the rear door.
Make sure that any roof edge spoilers are not damaged and that the functionality of the
tension-relief strap is not influenced by such spoilers.
Now attach the lock section of the strap to the U-bar as shown on Figures 14 to 17.

Connect both parts of the tension-relief strap as shown on Figures 18 to 20.

Now pull the tension-relief strap tight.
The tension-relief strap may not cover the third braking light.
The tension-relief strap may not influence the functionality of the
rear windscreen wipers.
In order to release the tension-relief strap, press the lock down (Figure 6, Position 1) and pull the strap out of the lock.
The bicycles are taken off in reverse order.
