armrest.
NOTE The top surface of the armrest
contains a cup holder for rear seat
occupants. Refer to “Cup holder”.
WARNING
32)All adjustments must be made with the
vehicle stationary.
33)Do not attempt to adjust the seat while
driving. This can cause loss of vehicle
control and result in an accident. After
adjustments are made, ensure the seating
is locked in position by attempting to move
the seat forward and rearward without
using the adjusting mechanism.
34)After releasing 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.35)For maximum safety, keep the back of
your seat upright, lean back into it and
make sure the seat belt fits closely across
your chest and pelvis.
36)Make sure the backrests are properly
secured at both sides (not visible "red
notches”) to prevent them from moving
forward, in the event of sharp braking, with
possible impact with of the passengers.
37)It is extremely dangerous to ride in the
cargo area of a vehicle. Also, the cargo
area and rear seats should never be used
as a play area by children. In a collision,
people or children riding unrestrained in
these areas are more likely to be seriously
injured or killed.
38)Do not allow people or children to ride
in any area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat belts, and
make sure that everyone travelling in your
vehicle is in a seat and wearing a seat belt,
or in the case of a child is strapped in a
child restraint.
39)To minimize the risk of personal injury in
the event of a collision or sudden braking,
the seatbacks should always be in the
almost upright position while the vehicle is
in motion. The protection provided by the
seat belts may be reduced significantly
when the seatback is reclined. There is
greater risk that the passenger will slide
under the seat belt, resulting in serious
injury, when the seatback is reclined.
40)Do not place objects under the seats.
This could prevent the seat from locking
securely, and it could lead to an accident. It
may also cause damage to the seat or
other parts.
41)Make sure the seat is adjusted by an
adult or with adult supervision for correct
and safe operation.

42)Do not place a cushion or the like
between your back and the seatback while
driving. The effectiveness of the head
restraints will be reduced in the event of an
accident.
43)The reclining mechanism of the front
manual seat's seatback is spring loaded,
causing it to fold the seatback forward
when the lock lever is operated. When
using the lever, sit close to the seatback or
hold it with your hand to control its return
motion.
44)When sliding the seats, be careful not
to catch your hand or foot.
45)If your vehicle is equipped with the rear
seat, when sliding or reclining the seat
rearward, pay careful attention to the rear
seat passengers.
46)If the following types of persons use
the heated seats, they might become too
hot or receive minor burns (red skin, heat
blisters, etc.): children, elderly or ill people,
people with sensitive skin, excessively tired
people, people under the influence of
alcohol or sleep inducing medication (cold
medicine, etc.).
IMPORTANT
10)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.11)Operate in the “HI” position for quick
heating. Once the seat is warm, set the
heater switch to the “LO” position to keep it
warm. Slight variations in seat temperature
may be felt while using the heated seats.
This is caused by the operation of the
heater’s internal thermostat and does not
indicate a malfunction.
12)Do not place heavy objects on the seat
or stick pins, needles, or other pointed
objects into it.
13)Do not use a blanket, cushion, or other
material with high heat insulation properties
on the seat while using the heater; this
might cause the heater element to
overheat.
14)Do not use benzine, kerosene, petrol,
alcohol or other organic solvents when
cleaning the seats. Doing so could damage
not only the seat cover, but also the heater
element.
15)If water or any other liquid is spilled on
the seat, allow it to dry thoroughly before
attempting to use the heater.
16)Turn the heater off immediately if it
appears to be malfunctioning during use.
HEAD RESTRAINTS
(where provided)
47) 48) 49) 50) 51) 52)
To adjust height
Front seats
Adjust the head restraint height so that
the centre of the head restraint is as
close as possible to ear level to reduce
the chances of injury in the event of
collision. Any person too tall for the
head restraint to reach their seated ear
level, should adjust the restraint as high
as possible.
To raise the head restraint, move it
upward.
To lower the restraint, move it
downward while pushing the height
adjusting knob (A) in the direction of the
arrow. After adjustment, push the head
restraint downward and make sure that
it is locked.

WARNING
47)All adjustments must only be carried
out with the vehicle stationary and the
engine off. Head restraints must be
adjusted so that the head, rather than the
neck, rests on them. Only in this case can
they protect your head correctly. To take
best advantage of the protection provided
by the head restraint, adjust the seat back
so that you are sitting up straight and your
head is as close to the head restraint as
possible.
48)Driving without the head restraints in
place can cause you and your passengers
serious injury or death in an accident. To
reduce the risk of injury in an accident,
always make sure the head restraints are
installed and properly positioned when the
seat is occupied.
49)Never place a cushion or similar device
on the seatback. This can adversely affect
head restraint performance by increasing
the distance between your head and the
restraint.
50)When a person sits in the middle
seating position of the rear seat, pull up the
head restraint to a height at which it locks
in position fig. 52. Be sure to make this
adjustment before starting to drive. Serious
injuries could otherwise be suffered in the
result of an impact (Double cab).
51)Make sure that the height adjusting
knob (A) is correctly adjusted as shown in
the illustration fig. 56, and also lift the head
restraints to ensure that they do not come
out of the seatback.52)The shape and size of the head
restraint differs according to the seat.
Always use the correct head restraint
provided for the seat and do not install the
head restraint in the wrong direction fig. 57.

information, we recommend you to
consult a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
56)As the driver's exterior mirror is curved,
it may slightly alter the perception of
distance of the reflected image. Further, the
reflective surface of the lower part of the
exterior mirrors is parabolic to increase the
field of view. The reflected image size is
thus reduced and gives the impression that
the reflected item is further away than it
actually is.
57)Do not attempt to adjust the rear view
mirrors while driving. This can be
dangerous. Always adjust the mirrors
before driving.58)Your vehicle is equipped with convex
type mirrors. Remind that objects that you
see in the mirror will look smaller and
farther away compared to a normal flat
mirror. Do not use this mirror to estimate
distance of following vehicles when
changing lanes.
59)Do not drive the vehicle with the mirror
folded in. The lack of rearward visibility
normally provided by the mirror could lead
to an accident.
IMPORTANT
20)It is possible to retract and extend the
mirrors by hand. After retracting a mirror
using the mirror retractor switch, however,
you should extend it by using the switch
again, not by hand. If you extended the
mirror by hand after retracting it using the
switch, it would not properly lock in
position. As a result, it could move because
of the wind or vibration while you are
driving, taking away your rearward visibility.
