With the bike off I always suggest that you replace any straps that you may have on any kind of bike rack so we don't lose or damage any of them. All right now that those are back in place we can take a few measurements, overall with our arms up we're adding about thirty six inches to the back of the vehicle, now if we we're wanting to park in a close quarters parking spot we could come up here to this red knob, or red lever, pull up on it that's going to lower those arms down and that'll lock into place. Now we're only adding about ten and a half inches to the vehicle, our ground clearance is going to be to the bottom of this red knob here, at about eight and a half inches and our closest point is about five inches away there. Now this is called the full tilt, it does tilt away from your vehicle, to do so we're going to pull down on the black lever, that's going to allow us to get that bike rack away from our back hatch to open that up and get anything in or out that we may need, and we do have enough room to step between the rack and the vehicle to get out larger items as well. more
