Volkswagen Golf Owners Manual: Fitting a bicycle carrier on the mechanically positioned ball coupling
First read and observe the introductory information
and safety warnings
The maximum permitted load on a bicycle carrier mounted on the ball coupling is 80 kg at a distance of 300 mm. This distance refers to the gap between the centre of gravity of the bicycle carrier (complete with bicycles) and the middle of the ball coupling.
WARNING
- Never exceed the listed payload and distance.
- Do not attach a bicycle carrier underneath the ball coupling on the neck of the ball coupling. The shape of the ball coupling neck and the design of the bicycle carrier could result in the bicycle carrier becoming misaligned with the vehicle.
- Read and follow the assembly instructions provided by the bicycle carrier manufacturer.
NOTICE
- Never exceed the specified values.
