What we fitted on this Outlander
We fitted the Menabo Mistral bike rack. To choose the right version for your bikes, see the bike racks category, where you will find all the fitting types.
When fitting, clean the contact surface on the car so that the rack grips well. After fitting the rack, move it gently from side to side and check that it stays firmly in place. The bikes must be secured with the straps of the rack.
Technical details and what to watch for
- The contact surface on the car must be cleaned before fitting, so that the rack grips well and does not scratch the paint.
- Check the maximum load in the specifications of the rack, because exceeding it can damage the car, the rack or the bikes.
- After fitting, move the rack from side to side; it must stay firm, without slipping.
- Check that the pedals and handlebars of the bikes do not touch the car body.
- Check that the rear lights and the number plate stay visible after fitting.
