To return the rear seat back
to its original position
Raise the seat backrests and push them
back until hearing the locking click of
both retainers.
Position seat belt buckles upwards.
IMPORTANT When the backrest is
properly secured, the "red band" B-
fig. 6 on levers A shall no longer be
visible. The "red band" actually indicates
that the backrest is not properly secured.
Make sure the head restraints are prop-
erly positioned.
Make sure the backrest is properly se-
cured at both sides (red bands not visi-
ble) to prevent it moves forward in the
event of sharp braking causing injuries
to passengers.

ANCHORING THE LOAD
The boot houses 4 hooks (see fig. 8
and fig. 9) for anchoring ropes in or-
der to guarantee perfect load anchoring.
Hooks shall also be used to secure the
luggage retaining net (available as op-
tional, for versions/markets where ap-
plicable, at Alfa Romeo Authorised Ser-
vices).

WARNING
A heavy load that has
not been secured may
cause serious harm.
WARNING
If you want to carry
reserve fuel in a can,
follow law regulations, only
using a certified can, suitably
fastened to the load securing
eyelets. Even in this way the
risk of fire is increased in the
case of an accident.
