Rear seats fig. 28
Two fixed head restraints are pro-
vided for the rear seats.
Press the two buttons to remove.
Remember that the
head restraints should be
adjusted to support the
back of your head and not your
neck. Only if they are in this po-
sition will they be able to provide
effective protection in the event
of a rear-end shunt.

Adding things on the
rear window shelf or the
tailgate (speakers, spoiler,
etc.) can interfere with the cor-
rect operation of the tailgate side
gas-struts.
Follow the laws in force
if you are travelling in ar-
eas where refuelling is dif-
ficult and you want to carry a can
of petrol. Use a homologated can
only and secure it to the load an-
choring hooks. Even given these
precautions, the risk of fire in the
event of an accident is increased.

The car can be fitted with separate
rear seats.
With separate seats the boot exten-
sion possibilities are various and can
be decided according to the number
of passengers and how much luggage
is to be transported:
– all extended, by tilting both sides -
left and right - of the rear seat as de-
scribed above;
– partial extension with the left side
of the rear seat tilted and a back seat
for one passenger;Anchoring the load
There are two brackets with holes
A-fig. 72 in the boot to fasten ropes
for anchoring the load. These brack-
ets are located at the base of the rear
seat (one on each side).
Other luggage anchoring holes are
located on the rear crossmember and
are closed with rubber caps.
To use the holes, remove the caps.

one hand and remove the rod B-
fig. 76from the recess with the other
Cthen secure it in its clip A.
2) lower the bonnet until approx. 20
cm from the engine compartment and

127CAR MAINTENANCE
CLEANING SEATS
AND FABRICS
– Remove dust with a soft brush and
vacuum cleaner.
– Brush the seats with a damp
sponge with water and a neutral soap.
– Remove any grease stains with a
specific product.
CLEANING LEATHER SEATS
– Remove the dry dirt with a
chamois leather or very slightly moist
cloth without exerting too much pres-
sure.
– Remove liquid or grease stains
with a dry absorbent cloth without
rubbing. Then wipe with a chamois
leather or soft cloth moistened with
water and neutral soap.
If the stain does not come out, use a
special cleaning compound being par-
ticularly careful to follow the instruc-
tions for use.
IMPORTANT Never use alcohol
or alcohol-base products.PLASTIC PARTS INSIDE
THE CAR
Use special products designed not to
alter the appearance of the compo-
nents.
IMPORTANT Do not use alcohol
or petrol to clean the instrument
panel.
Do not keep aerosol
cans in the car. There is
the risk they might ex-
plode. Aerosol cans must never
be exposed to a temperature
above 50°C; when the weather
starts to get hot the tempera-
ture inside the car might go well
beyond that figure.INTERIORS
From time to time check that water
has not collected under the mats
(from dripping shoes, umbrellas etc.)
which could cause the steel to rust.
Never use inflammable
products such as petro-
leum ether or petrol to
clean inside the car. The electro-
static loads that are generated
while rubbing to clean could be-
come a fire risk.
