The functions that can be modified
through the CONNECT system
menu are:
– boot lock release by actuating
central door opening (*);
– central door and tailgate locking
when the car speed exceeds 20
km/h, without actuation of the
deadlock device.
(*) When this function is discon-
nected to lock the boot lock when
the boot is closed, even if the doors
were closed, the remote control or
the key must be used, as it is nor-
mally the case with the doors; thus,
the boot can be opened with the
handle in the event that the key is
left inside the lock.MINISTERIAL HOMOLOGATION
In the respect of the legislation in
force in each country in the matter
of radio-frequency devices, please
note that the homologation number
is printed on the component for
markets where this is required.
IMPORTANTThe code marking
may also be printed on the transmit-
ter and/or the receiver for ver-
sions/markets where this is required.EASY ENTRY/EXIT
SYSTEM
Versions provided with electric
steering wheel adjustment may also
incorporate the Easy Entry/Exit sys-
tem, which allows the driver to get
into and out of the car with
improved ease.
In the cars provided with this sys-
tem, the steering wheel lifts and the
seat goes back before the driver gets
out of the car.
The function is actuated when the
door is opened but only if the igni-
tion key is at STOPor has been
removed.
When the driver opens the door to
get into the car, both the seat and
the steering wheel have already gone
back. The seat and the steering
wheel will return to their normal dri-
ving position after the driver has sat,
closed the door and turned the key
to MAR.

MANUALLY ADJUSTABLE SEATS
(Moving the seats backwards or
forwards) (fig. 39)
Lift lever Aand push the seat for-
wards or backwards: you are in the cor-
rect position for driving when your
hands are resting on the steering wheel
rim and your arms are slightly bent. FRONT SEATS
Only adjust the driver’s
seat when the car is sta-
tionary.
Once you have lever
released the lever, check
that the seat is firmly
locked in the runners by trying to
move it back and forth. Failure to
lock the seat in place could result
in the seat moving suddenly and
dangerously.ELECTRICALLY ADJUSTABLE
SEATS
Electric adjustment of seats is pos-
sible under one of the following con-
ditions:
– ignition switch to MAR
– for approx. 1 minute after
removing the ignition key or turning
it to STOP
– for approx. 3 minutes with key
removed or turned to STOPand
with door open.
The seat adjustment controls are:

Upholstery of your car
has been designed to with-
stand wear deriving from
common use of the car. You are
however recommended to avoid
strong and/or continuous scratch-
ing with clothing accessories such
as metallic buckles, studs, Velcro
fastenings and the like, since these
items cause circumscribed stress
of the cover fabric that could lead
to yarn breaking, and damage the
cover as a consequence.

STORING THE DRIVER’S SEAT
POSITIONS (fig. 46)
The system allows to store and
recall three different driver’s seat
positions and external rear view mir-
ror positions.
Seat position memorization also
includes the head restraint adjust-
ment in height, the position of the
external rear view mirrors and of the
steering wheel (only versions with
electric adjustment).
The seat, external rear view mirror
and steering wheel positions can
only be stored when the ignition key
is at MAR.Adjust the position of the seat,
head restraint, external rear view
mirrors and steering wheel by means
of the relevant controls, then press
for about 3 seconds any of buttons
“1”, “2” or “3” each corresponding
to one stored position, until a confir-
mation beep is heard.
When memorising the seat posi-
tions, also the head restraint, electric
rear view mirror and steering wheel
positions are memorised.
The previously stored position will
automatically be deleted when a new
position is stored under the same
button.
IMPORTANTSeat position mem-
orization does not include lumbar
adjustment and heating actuation.
Recalling stored positions
With the key in position MAR, any
stored position can be recalled by
briefly pressing the respective but-
ton “1”, “2” or “3”. The seat will
move automatically and stop in the
stored position.
fig. 46
L0A0152b

63
Stored position are recalled only if
the required position is different
from the current one and is not pos-
sible when the car speed exceeds 10
km/h.
Seats can be moved only when the
ignition key is at MARand, for
about 1 minute, also after removing
the key or turning it to STOP: dur-
ing this time, the external rear view
mirrors will not move, but when the
car is started again, they will be
automatically realigned together
with the seat position (see paragraph
“Automatic realignment of external
rear view mirrors”).
If stored seat position recalling is
still in course after this time has
elapsed, recalling will be concluded
in any case.If the engine is started during the
recalling stage, seat moving will be
stopped; once this stage is over the
seat will return automatically to the
stored position.
IMPORTANTPressing any of
memorisation or adjustment buttons
during the recalling stage, causes the
immediate stop of the seat (antipan-
ic mode).
Storing the “parking” position of
the external rear view mirror on
passenger side
You can achieve better visibility
during manoeuvres in reverse gear
(for instance, when parking the car)
by adjusting the external passenger
rear view mirror to a different posi-
tion from the one normally used.
This position can be stored by the
driver.To store the position proceed as
follows:
– with the car stopped and the igni-
tion key at MAR, engage the reverse
gear;
– adjust the position of the external
passenger rear view mirror by means
of the respective controls so as to
obtain the optimum position for the
parking manoeuvre;
– press down for at least 3 seconds
any of buttons “1”, “2” or “3” (fig.
46) used to store/recall the seat posi-
tion;
– together with the “parking” posi-
tion of the external passenger side
rear view mirror, also the seat posi-
tion, the driver rear view mirror
position and the driving position of
the external passenger side rear view
mirror are stored.
A sound signal warns the driver
that the mirror position has been
stored.

When the car is parked on a steep
slope the reel mechanism may block;
this is normal. The reel mechanism
prevents the webbing coming out
when it is jerked or if the car brakes
sharply, in a collision or when cor-
nering at high speed.
The rear seat is fitted with inertial
seat belts with three anchor points
and reel for the side and centre
seats.
Rear seat belts shall be worn as
shown in fig. 70.
To prevent incorrect fastening, the
tongues of the side seats and the
buckle of the centre lap belt are
incompatible.
fig. 71
L0A0096b
When the rear seats are not occu-
pied, use the spaces provided in the
cushion to stow the belt buckles (fig.
71).
Remember that in the
event of a violent colli-
sion, back seat passen-
gers not wearing seat belts also
represent a serious danger for the
front seat passengers.ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF
THE FRONT SEAT BELTS
Only adjust seat belt
height when the car is sta-
tionary.
Always adjust the height of the seat
belt to fit the person wearing it. This
precaution could greatly reduce the
risk of injury in case of collision.
Correct adjustment is obtained
when the belt passes half way
between the end of the shoulder and
the neck.
To adjust, lower or raise the grip A
(fig. 72). To lower the device keep
button Bpressed.
