part of the seat) and shift your body weight away from
the part of the seat to be raised.

WARNING
The fabric covers on your vehicle have
been dimensioned to be resistant to
normal wear and tear. Some precautions
are however needed. Avoid prolonged rubbing
against clothing accessories, such as metal
buckles, bosses, Velcro strips and the like, which
by applying a high pressure on the fabric in
a small area could cause the breakage of some
threads and damage the upholstery.
Lengthwise direction adjustment fig. 26
Lift the lever A and push the seat forwards or
backwards: in driving position your arms should rest on
the rim of the steering wheel.
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 it is not locked, the seat may move
unexpectedly and make you lose control of the
vehicle.

Through the reel, the belt automatically adapts to the
body of the passenger wearing it, allowing freedom of
movement.
The reel may block when the vehicle is parked on
a steep slope: this is perfectly normal. Furthermore,
the reel mechanism locks the belt if it is pulled and in
the event of sudden braking, collisions and on high
speed bends.SAFETY BELTS
USING THE SEAT BELTS
fig. 142
The belt should be worn keeping the chest straight and
rested against the seat back.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the tongue A and insert it
into the buckle B, until the locking click is heard.
On removal, if it jams, let it rewind for a short stretch,
then pull it out again without jerking.
To unfasten the seat belts, press button C. Guide the
seat belt with your hand while it is rewinding, to prevent
it from twisting.
