Installing a rear carrier system or a
bicycle rack on the trailer hitch
Fig.197 Recommended weight distribution
on the rear support system.
Examples of rear carrier systems are bicycle
racks or multi-purpose boxes that are installed
on the trailer hitch.
Only use rear carrier systems that have been
specied by the respective manufacturer for
the vehicle model, model year and version of
the vehicle in question ›››

CUPRA recommends the use of genuine CU-
PRA spare parts and accessories, which can be
purchased from the brand’s dealers. Install the
rear carrier system according to the manufac-
turer’s installation instructions.
The load capacity results from the weight of
the rear carrier system and the weight of the
load carried on it.
