Quick guide from the manual
This document provides the necessary steps to install the Thule Kit 145343 on a BMW 2-Series Active Tourer (5-door MPV, 2022-). The kit must be used in conjunction with a compatible Thule Foot Pack. Always adhere to the maximum load capacity of 75 kg (165 lbs) and observe the speed restrictions: 130 km/h (80 mph) under normal conditions and 80 km/h (50 mph) when carrying a load.
Assembly
The installation process involves combining the Kit 145343 components with the Thule Foot Pack. Ensure all parts are correctly oriented (FL, FR, RL, RR) as indicated in the diagrams. Tighten the components until you hear a distinct click, ensuring a secure fit.
Installation and Positioning
Proper positioning on the vehicle roof is critical for safety and stability. Use the specific measurements provided in the manual to align the rack:
- X and Y measurements: Used to determine the correct placement of the rack feet on the roof rails.
- W and Z measurements: Used to ensure the correct distance between the front and rear bars.
Refer to the table on page 2 for the exact millimeter/inch values corresponding to your specific Thule bar type (WingBar Evo, WingBar Edge, etc.).
Safety and Maintenance
Regularly check that the roof rack is securely attached to the vehicle. Do not exceed the maximum load limit of 75 kg. Always remove the roof rack when not in use to improve fuel efficiency and reduce wind noise.
