Does this mean, 'If you don't know the 'S Load' value do not fit this'?

As I wrote earlier, total weight 70 kg is allowed.

Due to the fact that a towbar for a bike carrier may be mounted in the Netherlands and not in England, it appears that mounting has nothing to do with the technical aspects of the Jazz, but only with the regulations per country. (Homologation)
Perhaps because Uk is not a bikecountry?

From web site it seems there is a s rating for both the car and the hitch, and younger The lower of the two.
The graphic seems to say look at the s rating on towbar and this will be less than the one for the car.
At least Honda did not outsource their user guide to the graphic artist than done brink towbars..

I would have thought that the towbar label should suffice, as they understand the load rating of the car and their towbar.
On next page there is clear 70kg max nose weight, and no towing just for bike carrier.
I would have thought that type approval for the bike carrier towba r would be for UK and EU, and the brink web site make a big deal
Of bike carriers for hybrid cars that can't tow.

https://www.trailparts.co.uk/S_and_D_Values
"The "S" value is a rating measured in kg and represents the maximum vertical load which can be applied to the Towing Jaw/hitch. This is also known as the "nose load".
All type approved towing brackets must also show this value on their respective manufacturer's label. The vehicle manufacturer's hand book will also give the maximum "S" value which can be applied to the rear towbar mountings; the actual vertical load which can be applied to the hitch is the lower of the two values.
