in accordance with the prestamped marking (avoid damaging the varnish of the bum-
per). Neaten the orifices.

- Remove the blind flanges from the orifices for clamping the trailing coupling on the rear
longitudinal girders (both sides of the vehicle) -arrows-. If necessary, remove a part of the
plastic inside the longitudinal girders.
- 5 -
- Fit the trailing coupling (A) by its longitudinal beams into the orifices at the rear front of the
car -arrows-.
- Set up the position of the beam in such a way that the axes of the screws may pass through
the centres of the clamping orifices in the longitudinal girders approximately.
