Cushion adjustment fig. 33
(for versions/markets where provided)
Use the lever D to lift or lower the back of the cushion
to achieve the most comfortable driving position.
The fabric upholstery of your car has been
designed to withstand wear deriving from
common use of the car. You are however
recommended to avoid strong and/or continuous
scratching with clothing accessories such as metal
buckles, studs, Velcro fastenings and the like, as
these items cause stress of the cover fabric that
could lead to yarn breaking and damage the up-
holstery.

Open the tailgate with care when carrying
objects on the roof rack to prevent injuries.
WARNING
A heavy load that has not been secured

ed and place only for one person on the rear seat.
IMPORTANT If in a rather heavy load is being carried in
the boot and you are travelling at night, check and adjust

section).fig. 76
