HEAD RESTRAINTS
11) 12)
FRONT HEAD
RESTRAINTS
Upwards adjustment: raise the head
restraint until it clicks into place.
Downward adjustment: press button
A fig. 11 and lower the head restraint.
"Anti-Whiplash" device
The head restraints are equipped with
an “Anti-Whiplash” device, which
reduces the distance between head
and head restraint in the event of a rear
impact, thus mitigating the "whiplash"
effect.
The head restraint 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.REAR HEAD RESTRAINTS
Upwards adjustment: raise the head
restraint until it clicks into place.
Downward adjustment: press button
A fig. 12 and lower the head restraint.
IMPORTANT If the rear seats are used,
always set the head restraints in the
"completely raised" position.
Removal
Proceed as follows to remove the head
restraints:
raise the head restraints to their
maximum height;
press buttons A and B fig. 12 at the
side of the two supports, then remove
the head restraints by pulling them
upwards.
WARNING
11)All adjustments must be made with the
car stationary. Head restraints must be
adjusted so that the head, rather than the
neck, rests on them. Only in this case
they can protect your head correctly.
12)To make the best use of the head
restraint's protective action, adjust the
backrest so that you are sitting upright and
keep your head as close as possible to
the head restraint.

82) 83)
Four different adjustments in height are
provided. To adjust, press button A
fig. 60 and raise or lower handle B.Always adjust the height of the seat belt
to fit the person wearing it: this
precaution could greatly reduce the risk
of injury in the case of collision.
Correct adjustment is obtained when
the belt passes approximately half way
between the shoulder and the neck.
For some versions, front seat belts have
just one fixed anchor point located on
the door pillar.
WARNING
78)Never press button C fig. 57when
travelling.
79)Remember that in the event of an
accident, the rear seat passengers not
wearing seat belts are exposed to a very
serious risk and also represent a serious
danger for the front seat occupants.
80)The rear central seat belt (for
versions/markets where provided) is
provided with a service buckle fig. 61.Do
not use the seat belt with the service
buckle not fastened. In this case there is a
high risk of injury or death in the event of
an accident. Before using the belt, always
make sure that the service buckle is
correctly fastened.
81)The rear left and right side belts are
provided with an adjustment device for the
metal tongue position (metal hook). Adjust
the tongue position with respect to the seat
belt to improve comfort and reduce noise
inside the passenger compartment.
82)Make height adjustment of the seat
belts when the car is stationary.
83)After height adjustment, always check
that the cursor to which the ring is fastened
is locked in one of the preset positions. To
do this, with button A fig. 60released,
exert further pressure downwards to allow
the locking device to click if the grip has
not been released in one of the possible
positions.
