ABSTRACT:
A motor vehicle having fold-down backrests on rear seats has a cross-member which is releasably connectable to the backrests in their upper region and can be releasably attached by its end regions to devices for securing it in the direction of travel fitted on opposed regions of the inner body shell of the vehicle. The attachment of the end regions to the securing devices is effected by connecting the cross-member in a force-locking manner to the opposed regions of the inner body. Thus, through the cross-member, forces can be transmitted in known manner between the backrests and the inner body shell of the vehicle, and in addition a stiff transverse connection is obtained between the opposed regions of the inner body shell of the vehicle, which leads in the assembled state to a reduction of vibrations or of droning noises that may occur.
