KNOWING YOUR CAR

WARNING
7)All adjustments must be made with the
car stationary and engine stopped.
8)If a side bag is fitted, it is dangerous to
use seat covers not available from
Lineaccessori MOPAR
®.
9)Once you have released 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.
10)Make sure the backrests are properly
secured at both sides to prevent them from
moving forward, in the event of sharp
braking, with possible impact with of the
passengers.
WARNING
3)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.
4)Before tilting the backrest, remove any
objects on the seat cushion.
