YOUR CAR
Driver side and passenger side where
position memory is provided
To return the seat to its initial position,
slide the seat backward pushing the back-
rest until the seat locks (movement d)
operate the lever D (movement e) and
lift the backrest (movement f) until you
hear it snapping in position.
WARNING Using the lever D before
locking the seat in the initial position caus-
es the loss of the seat initial position. In
that case, it is necessary to adjust the seat
position by means of the longitudinal ad-
justment fig. 16.
Passenger side where position
memory is not provided
To return the seat to its initial position,
slide the seat backward pushing the back-
rest to the desired position (movement
d); operate the lever D (movement e)
and lift the backrest (movement f) until
you hear it snapping in position.
All adjustments must be
made with the car stationary.
WARNING
fig. 20
F0S020Ab
The type of reattachment manoeuvre has
been chosen to guarantee the safety of the
occupant. In effect, if the mechanism de-
tects an obstacle (e.g. a bag) and cannot
restore the seat to its original position, it
allows the reattachment of the actual seat,
positioning the backrest only, ensuring
that the guides are attached.
REAR SEATS fig. 20
Backrest release
❒ For versions with joint seat, lift handles A
and B and guide the backrest onto the
cushion.
❒ For versions with separate seats, lift han-
dle A or B to release respectively the left
or right part of the backrest and guide the
backrest onto the cushion.
HEAD RESTRAINTS
REAR fig. 21
(for versions/markets, where provided)
To lift out rear head restraints: press at
the same time buttons B e C set on both
sides and take them out. Rear head re-
straints must be lifted out with backrest
released and tilted toward the passenger
compartment or with the tailgate open.
To bring the head restraint in correct po-
sition, lift it until you hear it click.
To lower the head restraint, press button
B. The specific shape of the head restraint
interferes with the correct rest of the
back of the rear passenger on the back-
rest; the shape is useful to force the pas-
senger to lift the headrest for its correct
use.
IMPORTANT Rear seat passengers shall
always set the head restraints in “fully
drawn out” position.
