ADJUSTMENTS
SEATS Lengthwise adjustment
Raise the lever A-fig. 10 and push
the seat forwards or backwards: in
driving position your arms should be
slightly bent and your hands should
rest on the rim of the steering
wheel.
After releasing the adjustment lever
always check that the seat is locked
into place by trying to move it back
and forth. Failure to lock the seat
could cause it to move and detach
from the guides.
All adjustments must be
made only with the
vehicle stationary.
WARNING
Do not remove the
seats or attempt to
service and/or repair them:
operations which are carried
out incorrectly may
compromise the operation of
the safety devices; always
contact a Fiat Dealership.

If you wish to carry a
reserve of fuel in a can,
observe the legal restrictions
and only use a can that is type-
approved and properly secured
to the load anchorage
eyebolts. However, the risk of
fire in the event of a collision is
still increased.
WARNINGIMPORTANT
1) The flap can bear stable loads
(vehicle stationary) of up to 300
kg; using it to support greater
loads damages the hinges.
2) The load must be secured firmly
using cords and the appropriate
rings, to prevent it from sliding
lengthways, moving from side to
side or bouncing (see paragraph
“Loading advice” in the “Correct
use of the vehicle” section).
3) When transporting a heavy load
at night, you are advised to check
and adjust the beam of the dipped
headlights as appropriate.
Do not open the flap
completely when a tow
hook is fitted; it may be
damaged.
