HEAD RESTRAINTSFRONT fig. 34
Depending on the versions, head restraints can be fixed
or adjustable in height (for versions/markets where
provided); for their adjustment, proceed as follows.❒
Upwards adjustment: lift the head restraint until it locks.
❒
Downward adjustment: press the button A and lower
the head restraint.
Any adjustment must be carried out only
with the car stationary and the engine
turned off.
WARNING
Head restraints should be adjusted to sup-
port the back of your head and not your
neck. Only in this position they exert their pro-
tective action.
WARNING
To make the best use of the head restraint
protection, adjust the seat back to keep a
straight back, with the head as close as possible
to its restraint.

STEERING WHEELThe steering wheel can be adjusted in height
(for versions/markets where provided).
Release the lever A-fig. 36 pulling it towards the steering
wheel, then adjust it in the most suitable position
and lock it pushing the lever A fully forwards. REAR fig. 35
Depending on the versions, head restraints can be fixed
(for 5-seat versions) or adjustable. To use adjustable head
restraints, raise the head restraint from position 2 (posi-
tion of non use) to position 1 (completely raised).
To bring them back to the original “position of non use”,
press the button B and push the head restraint down.
To take them out, press both buttons B and C, raise them
completely.
The particular head restraint shape deliberately interferes
with the correct passenger’s back leaning on the back-
rest in order to force him/her to lift the head restraint
and use it correctly.
IMPORTANT If the rear seats are used, always set the
head restraints in the “completely raised” position.

SEAT BELT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
(for versions/markets where provided)
Four different adjustments in height are provided.
To adjust, press button A-fig. 99 and lower or raise the
grip B.
Always adjust the height of the seat belt to fit the person
wearing it: this precaution could greatly reduce the risk of
injury in case of collision.
Correct adjustment is obtained when the belt passes ap-
proximately half way between the shoulder and the neck.
See texts and figures in paragraph “General instructions
for using the seat belts” in this section.
Make height adjustment of the seat belts
when the car is stationary.
WARNING
After adjustment, always check that the
slider to which the ring is fastened is locked
in one of the set positions. To do this, with the
button A released, exert a further pressure to al-
low the anchor device to catch if release did not
take place at one of the preset positions.
WARNING
For some versions, front seat belts have just one fixed
anchor point C-fig. 100 on the door post.
