Putting the seat back in position
To bring the seat back to the normal po-
sition proceed as follows:
❒grab the levers A-fig. 26and lift the
backrest;
❒grab the levers B-fig. 27or action lever
B-fig. 27/aand lift the backrest further
more up.
When the passenger’s seat is
in recessed position, the re-
sulting space cannot be used as a
loading compartment. During vehicle
travel we recommend that all objects
be removed or secured so that they
do not become an obstacle or pose
a risk during driving.
If there is no partition between the
cabin and the loading compartment,
large objects or packs may partially
occupy the passenger compartment.
Make sure that these objects or packs
are secured by the supplied restraint
devices, therefore not being an ob-
stacle or posing risks during driving.
WARNING
ACCES TO REAR
SEATS (Combi versions)
Access to the rear seats is gained by open-
ing one of the rear sliding doors (see in-
structions provided in paragraph “Doors”
of this section).

HEADLIGHTS
DIRECTING THE BEAM
Correct direction of the headlights is es-
sential for the comfort and safety of the
driver and the other road users. To en-
sure the best visibility conditions during
travel with the headlights on the vehicle
must have beams aimed correctly. Con-
tact the Fiat Dealership to have the head-
lights checked and properly adjusted.
HEADLIGHT AIMING DEVICE
This device works with the key at MAR
and the dipped beam headlights on.
The vehicle slants backwards when it is
loaded, raising the beam. The beams must
therefore be directed again in this case.Headlight aiming device regulation
To adjust, press buttons Òand
fig. 95
on the control panel.
The display located on the instrument pan-
el provides a visual indication of the posi-
tions during adjustment operations.
Position 0 - one or two passengers on
front seats.
Position 1 - five passengers.
Position 2 - five passengers + loaded
boot.
Position 3 - driver + maximum admitted
cargo in the boot.
IMPORTANT Check beam aiming when-
ever the weight of the load carried
changes.FOG LIGHT AIMING DEVICE
(where provided)
Contact the Fiat Dealership to have the
fog lights checked and properly adjusted.
REGULATING THE BEAMS
ABROAD
Dipped beams factory adjustment depends
on the country where the vehicle is pur-
chased. In countries driving on the left, the
beams are aimed by affixing a purposeful-
ly studied adhesive film in order not to
dazzle the vehicles travelling in the oppo-
site direction. This adhesive film is pro-
vided in Lineaccessori Fiat and is available
at the Fiat Dealership.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
FOR USING THE SEAT BELTS
The driver is responsible for respecting
(and ensuring that all the other vehicle
passengers also respect) the local laws in
force regarding the use of seat belts.
Always fasten the seat belts before star-
ting off.
Seat belts must also be worn by pregnant
women: wearing the seat belt significan-
tly reduces the risk for both the expectant
mother and the baby in the event of an ac-
cident. Pregnant women must position the
lower part of the belt very low down so
that it passes under the abdomen (see fig.
4).IMPORTANT The belt must not be twi-
sted. The upper part must cross the shoul-
der and the chest diagonally. The lower
part must fit the hips (as shown in fig. 5)
rather than the abdomen of the passen-
ger. Do not use devices (clips, etc.) to hold
the seat belt away from your body.
For maximum safety, keep
the back of your seat upri-
ght, lean back into it and make sure
the seat belt fits closely across your
chest and hips. Always fasten the seat
belts on both the front and the rear
seats. Travelling without seat belts fa-
stened increases the risk of serious
injuries or even death in the event of
a crash.
Under no circumstances should the
seat belt and pretensioner compo-
nents be removed or tampered with.
All interventions must be performed
by qualified and authorised person-
nel only. Always go to a Fiat Dealer-
ship.
