SEATS

WARNING

The front seats can be adjusted so as

to ensure maximum comfort for the

occupants.

4) Make sure to take the key with you

once a door or the tailgate is locked, to

prevent locking the same key inside the

car. If the key is locked inside, it can only

be retrieved by using the second key

provided.

5) The operation of the recognition system

depends on various factors, such as,

for example, any electromagnetic wave

interference from external sources (e.g.

mobile phones), the charge of the battery

in the electronic key and the presence of

metal objects near the key or the car. In

these cases it is still possible to unlock

the doors by using the metal insert in the

electronic key (see description on the

following pages).

Driver side front seat adjustment must

also be carried out remembering that,

keeping the shoulders resting firmly

against the backrest, the wrists must

be able to reach the top of the steering

wheel rim.

P2001046

fold the required seat back portion.

must be careful when using the seat

heater. It could cause burns even at a low

temperature, especially when used for long

periods of time.

15) Do not place objects on the seat or

on the backrest that may isolate the heat,

such as a cover or a pillow. It may cause

the seat heating device to overheat. Sitting

on an overheated seat may cause severe

burns due to the increase in temperature

of the seat surface.

16) Make sure the backrests are properly

secured at both sides (not visible “red

notches”) to prevent them from moving

forward, in the event of sharp braking, with

possible impact with the passengers.

Tilting the rear seat backrest

completely forwards allows maximum

loading volume.

NOTE To increase the loading volume,

the rear parcel shelf can be removed,

see the next paragraph.

Removing the rear parcel shelf

To remove the parcel shelf, proceed as

follows:

P2000182

open the tailgate and unhook the two

side cords (one on each side) from their

supports;

free the parcel shelf from the pins (1)

fig. 20 (one on each side) and remove

it, keeping it flat as exits from the

tailgate.

Repositioning seat backrests

16)

Raise the backrests and push them

back until the locking click of both

retainers is heard. Visually check that

the red marks have disappeared from

the release devices (1) fig. 18. The

presence of the red notches indicates

that the backrest is not secured.

WARNING

6) The fabric upholstery of the seats has

been designed to withstand long-term

wear deriving from normal use of the car.

Some precautions are however required.

Avoid prolonged and/or excessive rubbing

against clothing accessories such as

metal buckles and Velcro strips which, by

applying a high pressure on the fabric in a

small area, could cause it to break, thereby

damaging the upholstery.

IMPORTANT

12) All adjustments must be made with the

car stationary.

13) After releasing the adjustment lever,

always check that the seat is locked on the

guides by trying to move it back and forth.

If the seat is not locked into place, it may

unexpectedly slide and cause the driver to

lose control of the car.

14) People who can't feel skin pain due to

advanced age, chronic diseases, diabetes,

spine damage, medication, alcohol,

exhaustion, or other physical conditions,

fig. 21 can temporarily be put behind
