driver seat adjustment FIAT FREEMONT 2012 Owner handbook (in English)

When the HI-level setting is selected, the heater will
provide a boosted heat level during the first four
minutes of operation. Then, the heat output will drop
to the normal HI-level. If the HI-level setting is se-
lected, the system will automatically switch to LO-level
after a maximum of 60 minutes of continuous opera-
tion. At that time, the display will change from HI to
LO, indicating the change. The LO-level setting will turn
OFF automatically after a maximum of 45 minutes.
WARNING!
 Persons who are unable to feel pain to
the skin because of advanced age,
chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medi-
cation, alcohol use, exhaustion or other physical
condition must exercise care when using the seat
heater. It may cause burns even at low tempera-
tures, especially if used for long periods of time.
 Do not place anything on the seat that insu-
lates against heat , such as a blanket or cushion.
This may cause the seat heater to overheat .
Sitting in a seat that has been overheated could
cause serious burns due to the increased surface
temperature of the seat .
MANUAL FRONT SEAT ADJUSTMENTS
For models equipped with manual seats, the driver and
passenger seats can be adjusted forward or rearward
by using a bar located by the front of the seat cushion,
near the floor. (fig. 20)
While sitting in the seat, lift up on the bar located and
move the seat forward or rearward. Release the bar
once the desired position has been reached. Then,
using body pressure, move forward and rearward on
the seat to be sure that the seat adjusters have latched.

WARNING!
 Adjusting a seat while the vehicle is
moving is dangerous. The sudden move-
ment of the seat could cause you to lose control.
The seat belt might not be adjusted properly and
you could be injured. Adjust the seat only while
the vehicle is parked.
 Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that
the shoulder belt is no longer resting against your
chest . In a collision you could slide under the seat
belt and be seriously or even fatally injured. Use
the recliner only when the vehicle is parked.
DRIVER'S SEAT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT (for
versions/markets, where provided)
The seat height control lever is located on the out-
board side of the seat. Raise the lever to raise the seat.
Lower the lever to lower the seat. The total seat travel
is approximately 55 mm. (fig. 22)
FOLD-FLAT FRONT PASSENGER SEAT (for
versions/markets, where provided)
This feature allows for extended cargo space. When
the seat is folded flat, it is an extension of the load floor
surface (allowing long cargo to fit from the rear hatch
up to the instrument panel). The fold-flat seatback also
has a hardback surface that you can use as a work
surface when the seat is folded flat and the vehicle is
not in motion. (fig. 23) Pull upward on the recline lever to fold or unfold theseat.
