stress of the cover fabric that could lead to yarn
breaking and damage the upholstery.Once you have released the adjustment
lever, always check that the seat is
locked on the guides by trying to move it
back and for th. If the seat is not locked into
place, it may unexpectedly slide and cause the
driver to lose control of the car.

FRONT SEATS WITHELECTRIC ADJUSTMENT

Seat heating fig. 31
(for versions/markets, where provided)
With the key turned to MAR-ON, press the
buttons shown in the figure to switch the function
on/off.
When the function is enabled, the LED on the
button turns on.
HEAD RESTRAINTSFRONT
These are height-adjustable and lock into place
automatically.
❒Upward adjustment: lift the head restraint until it
clicks into place.
❒Downward adjustment: press button A fig. 32
and lower the head restraint.
On some versions the front head restraints are
equipped with an “Anti-Whiplash” device, which
reduces the distance between head and head
restraint in the event of a rear shunt, thus
mitigating the “whiplash” effect.
The “Anti-Whiplash” type front head restraints may
move when the backrest is pressed by the
occupant's torso or hand. This behaviour is caused
by the system and should not be considered a
malfunction.
WARNING
Head restraints must be adjusted so
that the head, rather than the neck,
rests on them. Only when they are adjusted in
this manner can they serve their intended
purpose.

Activation
Move the right stalk down by one click.
The activation of the sensor is signalled by a
"stroke" to show that the command has been
acquired.
IMPORTANT Keep the glass in the sensor area
clean.
By turning ring nut F fig. 51 is it possible to increase
the sensitivity of the rain sensor to obtain a more
rapid variation between wiper still (no stroke)
when the windscreen is dry, to wiper at first
continuous speed (slow continuous operation).
The increasing of the rain sensor sensitivity is also
signalled by a stroke of the wipers.
If the windscreen washer is used with the rain
sensor activated, the normal washing cycle is
performed, after which the rain sensor resumes its
normal automatic operation.
Deactivation
Turn the ignition key to STOP.
At the next start-up (key at MAR-ON), the sensor
will not be reactivated even if the stalk is at B
fig. 51. To activate the sensor, move the stalk to
position A or C and then back to position B.
Rain sensor activation will be indicated by at least
one wiper “stroke” even if the windscreen is dry.
Do not activate the rain sensor when
washing the car in an automatic car
wash.Make sure the device is switched off if
there is ice on the windscreen.
WARNING
Make sure the device is switched off
whenever the windscreen is being
cleaned.

This can be done in two ways:
❒by switching off the device and then memorising
the new speed;
or
❒by keeping ring nut B fig. 56 turned to (–) until
the new speed is reached; it will then be
memorised automatically.
Each movement of the ring nut will correspond to a
slight reduction in speed (about 1 km/h), while
keeping the ring nut turned will correspond to a
continuous reduction in speed.TURNING THE DEVICE OFF
