REAR POCKETS (fig. 16)
(for versions/markets where
applicable
)
The front seats are fitted with a pocket
in the rear of the back rest.
HEADREST ADJUSTMENT
(fig. 15)
To increase passengers’ safety, the head-
rests are adjustable in height.
To adjust, press the button (A) and
move the headrest up or down until it
clicks into place.
IMPORTANTThe configuration of the
headrest cushion may vary depending on
the versions and markets. The purpose of
the illustration is only to show how it is
adjusted.

Remember that headrests
should be adjusted so that
the nape, and not the neck,
rests on them. Only in this position
do they exert their protective ac-
tion in the event of a crash from
behind.

Seat warming, fitted on certain versions,
is turned on and off through the switch

of the led (B) on the switch itself.

IMPORTANTFor versions/markets
where applicable, the retainer levers are
replaced by buttons (one for each side).
To release the back rests and tilt them,
use the buttons themselves.

Remember that headrests
should be adjusted so that
the nape, and not the neck,
rests on them. Only in this position
do they exert their protective ac-
tion in the event of a crash from
behind.

Partial extension
For partial extension, proceed as fol-
lows:
– tilt the cushion required pulling the
handle at the centre of the cushion, then
tilting the actual cushion;
– move the seat belt to one side extend-
ing it correctly without twisting;
– raise the lever retaining the back rest
and tilt it forwards.
To bring the seat back to its
normal position
Proceed as follows:
– move the seat belts to one side
extending them correctly without twisting;
– raise the seat backs, pushing them
backwards until hearing both clamping
devices click into place;
– set the cushions to the horizontal posi-
tion keeping the centre seat belt raised.HEADREST ADJUSTMENT
(fig. 24)
The car may be fitted with two headrests
for the side seats and, depending on the
trim level, it may also have a third head-
rest in the centre.
To use the headrest, raise it from the (2)
“non use position” and reach the (1) “all
removed” position. To restore the “non use
position”, press button (A-fig. 21) and
push the headrest downwards.
All rear headrests can be removed.
fig. 24
A0A0610b
The particular headrest shape interferes
intentionally with the rear passenger’s cor-
rect position on the back rest; this forces
the passenger to raise the headrest to use
it correctly.
IMPORTANT When using rear seats,
the headrests shall be kept in the “all
removed” position.
