Cushion adjustment fig. 33
(for versions/markets where provided)
Use the lever D to lift or lower the back of the cushion
to achieve the most comfortable driving position.
The fabric upholstery of your car has been
designed to withstand wear deriving from
common use of the car. You are however
recommended to avoid strong and/or continuous
scratching with clothing accessories such as metal
buckles, studs, Velcro fastenings and the like, as
these items cause stress of the cover fabric that
could lead to yarn breaking and damage the up-
holstery.

HEAD RESTRAINTSFRONT fig. 34
Depending on the versions, head restraints can be fixed
or adjustable in height (for versions/markets where
provided); for their adjustment, proceed as follows.❒
Upwards adjustment: lift the head restraint until it locks.
❒
Downward adjustment: press the button A and lower
the head restraint.
Any adjustment must be carried out only
with the car stationary and the engine
turned off.
WARNING
Head restraints should be adjusted to sup-
port the back of your head and not your
neck. Only in this position they exert their pro-
tective action.
WARNING
To make the best use of the head restraint
protection, adjust the seat back to keep a
straight back, with the head as close as possible
to its restraint.

STEERING WHEELThe steering wheel can be adjusted in height
(for versions/markets where provided).
Release the lever A-fig. 36 pulling it towards the steering
wheel, then adjust it in the most suitable position
and lock it pushing the lever A fully forwards. REAR fig. 35
Depending on the versions, head restraints can be fixed
(for 5-seat versions) or adjustable. To use adjustable head
restraints, raise the head restraint from position 2 (posi-
tion of non use) to position 1 (completely raised).
To bring them back to the original “position of non use”,
press the button B and push the head restraint down.
To take them out, press both buttons B and C, raise them
completely.
The particular head restraint shape deliberately interferes
with the correct passenger’s back leaning on the back-
rest in order to force him/her to lift the head restraint
and use it correctly.
IMPORTANT If the rear seats are used, always set the
head restraints in the “completely raised” position.

It is advisable to switch the internal air recirculation on while
standing in queues or in tunnels to prevent the introduc-
tion of polluted air. However, it is better not to use the
function for long periods, particularly if there are many peo-
ple on board, to prevent the windows from misting inside.
IMPORTANT The inside air recirculation system makes it
possible to reach the required heating or cooling condi-
tions faster. Do not use the air recirculation function on
rainy/cold days as it would considerably increase the pos-
sibility of the windows misting inside.
