5.9 USING THE TENSION-RELIEF STRAP

These instructions describe the use with estates and compact vehicles with a hatchback (rear door). With boots
(saloons) proceed 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 1 to 4.

Connect both parts of the tension-relief strap as shown on Figures 5 to 7.

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.
