To restore the use of the rear seat: lift the
seat back and push it backwards until you
hear the locking click and make sure the
seat belts are at the front of the seat back.
The car can be fitted, as optional, with sep-
arate rear seats.
The boot extension possibilities offered
by the split seat are many and they should
be chosen according to the number of
F0G0131m
passengers and the amount of luggage to
be carried:
❒ total extension with right and left side
of the seat tilted as described above;
❒ partial extension with left or right side
of the seat tilted and place only for No.
1 rear passenger.
IMPORTANT If in the boot there is a
rather heavy load and you are travelling at
night, check and adjust aiming of the main
beam headlights (see "Headlights" in this
section).
WARNING
A heavy load that has not
been secured may cause se-
rious harm.
