Use of additional crossbars:
When extending the rear frame overhang, it must be checked that the distance be
-
tween crossbars is not more than 400 mm. Should it not be within this range, the
possibility of installing an additional crossbar should be considered, to ensure suf
-
ficient torsional stability.
Additional crossbars should have the same characteristics as originals and must
perform the same function.

Use of end crossbar
The end crossbar must always be installed, even if there is no intention to tow a
trailer.
If a tow bar is mounted, then the necessary reinforcements should be added. In this
case, a distance of at least 350 mm between the end crossbar and the nearest
crossbar must be considered, to ensure that the trailer coupling can be assembled
and disassembled without problems.
