Tilting the rear seat completely forwards
allows maximum loading volume.

❒remove the rear seat head restraints
(where provided)
❒check that the seat belts are correctly
extended and not twisted
❒operate the levers A and B fig. 53 to
release the backrests and guide
them onto the cushion.
IMPORTANT To return the backrest to
its correct position, we recommend
operating from the outside through the
doors.REPOSITIONING THE
REAR SEAT
Raise the backrests and push them
back until the locking click of both
retainers is heard.
Position the seat belt buckles upwards
and set the cushion to the position of
normal use.
IMPORTANT When returning the
backrest to its normal position, make
sure that it is correctly fastened and
that you hear the lock click.
Make sure the backrest is properly
secured at both sides to prevent it
moving forward in the event of sharp
braking that may cause injuries to
passengers.
WARNING
22) Never exceed the maximum
allowed load in the luggage
compartment (see "Technical
specifications" chapter). Also
make sure that the objects you
place in the luggage compartment
have been properly secured, to
avoid them from being thrown
forward consequent to sudden
braking and injuring your
passengers.
23) If you are travelling in areas with
few filling stations and you want
to transport fuel in a spare tank,
comply with the law by using only
an approved, suitably secured
tank. Anyway, by doing so, you
increase the risk of fire in the
event of an accident with your
vehicle.
24) Do not travel with the tailgate
open: exhaust gas may enter
the passenger compartment.
