Repositioning the backrests

13) 14)
Move the seat belts to the side,
checking that they are correctly
extended and not twisted or pinched
behind the backrests.
Make sure that the seat belts are
positioned on trims A fig 19 (where
provided), then lift up the backrests and
push them back until a click is heard for
both locking mechanisms, at the side.
Make sure that the "red marks" on
levers A fig 19 are not visible any more
(the "red mark" means that the backrest
is not locked properly).
WARNING
11) All adjustments must be made with the
car stationary.
12) Once you have released the
adjustment lever, always check that the
seat is locked on the guides by trying to
move it back and forth. If the seat is not
locked into place, it may unexpectedly slide
and cause the driver to lose control of the
car.
13) Make sure the backrests are properly
secured at both sides (not visible "red
notches) to prevent them from moving
forward, in the event of sharp braking, with
possible impact with of the passengers.

14) If a passenger is present, it won't be
possible to use the armrest, but the central
backrest needs to be properly attached.
IMPORTANT
4) The fabric upholstery of the seats has
been designed to withstand long-term wear
deriving from normal use of the car. Some
precautions are however required. Avoid
prolonged and/or excessive rubbing
against clothing accessories such as metal
buckles and Velcro strips which, by
applying a high pressure on the fabric in a
small area, could cause it to break, thereby
damaging the upholstery.
5) Do not arrange objects beneath the
electrically adjustable seat and do not
impede its movement, since the controls
may be damaged. They may also restrict
the seat travel.
6) Before tilting the backrest, remove any
objects on the seat cushion.
