Front Seats - Fiat Punto Owner's Handbook Manual

FRONT SEATS

WARNING
Only make adjustments
when the car is stationary.
Upholstery of your car has
been designed to withstand
wear deriving from common
use of the car. You are how-
ever recommended to avoid strong
and/or continuous scratching with
clothing accessories such as metallic
buckles, studs, Velcro fastenings and
the like, since these items cause cir-
cumscribed stress of the cover fabric
that could lead to yarn breaking, and
damage the cover as a consequence.
Moving the seat backwards or
forwards fig. 27
Lift the lever A and push the seat forwards
or backwards: in the driving position the
arms should rest on the rim of the steer-
ing wheel.

WARNING
Once you have 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 the dri-
ver losing control of the car.

(where provided) fig. 27
Move lever B upwards or downwards to
achieve the required height.

ried out only seated in the relevant seat.

WARNING
For maximum safety, keep
the back of your seat up-
right, lean back into it and make sure
the seat belt fits closely across your
chest and hips.
Tilting the back rest
(3-door versions) fig. 28
Pull handle A upwards, the back rest will
tilt and the seat can slide forward by push-
ing the back rest.
Bringing back the back rest the seat will
return to its original position (mechani-
cal memory).

Check that the seat is firm-
ly locked in the runners by
trying to move it back and forth.
