REAR SEATS fig. 18/a - 18/b
Adjusting backrest tilt
Lift lever A (one on each side) to adjust the tilting of the
left or right part of the backrest respectively (in order to
make the process easier, move the seat slightly forward us-
ing lever B).
Rear seats movement
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The rear seats can be moved backwards and forwards (by
80 mm). To move the seats backwards or forwards oper-
ate levers B (one on each side).
When repositioning the rear backrest whilst
moving it, it is necessary to check that it is
correctly attached, grasping the backrest at
the top and shaking it.
“Fixed” type rear seats
In some versions, rear seats are “fixed” type and the back
rest angle adjustment is possible if the luggage compart-
ment is extended. Use lever A - fig. 18/b (one each side)
for backrest angle adjustment.

OPENING THE TAILGATE IN AN EMERGENCY
fig. 57
To open the tailgate from the passenger compartment if the
car battery is flat or the electric tailgate lock is faulty, pro-
ceed as follows (see “Extending the boot” in this chapter)
❍remove the rear head restraints;
❍tilt the backrests;
❍operate lever A to unlock the tailgate mechanically from
inside the luggage compartment.EXTENDING THE LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT
The luggage compartment can be partially (1/3 or 2/3)
or totally extended by splitting the rear seat fig. 59.
Proceed as follows to extend the luggage compartment:
❍completely lower the rear seat head restraints;
❍move the seat belt to the side, making sure that it is
correctly extended and not twisted;
❍release the parcel shelf blind (for versions/markets,
where provided) from the backrests;
❍operate one of the levers A-fig. 58 to fold back the re-
quired backrest (to make this procedure easier, move
the seat slightly forward using lever B, for ver-
sions/markets, where provided).

To further extend the luggage compartment, the rear seats
can be pushed forwards by operating handle B-fig. 58 (for
versions/markets, where provided).
IMPORTANT In order to achieve a uniformly flat load
platform, the head restraints should be placed in the ful-
ly extended position before the seats are folded back.
REPOSITIONING THE REAR SEAT
To facilitate the backrest repositioning manoeuvre, it is
helpful to bring the seat cushion completely forward be-
fore folding back the seats.
Move the seat belts to the side, making sure that they are
correctly extended and not twisted. Press levers A (fig. 58),
lift up the backrests and push them backwards until you
hear a click from both attachment mechanisms.
Use handle B (fig. 58, for versions/markets, where pro-
vided) to move the seats back until you hear a click.
Make sure the backrest is properly secured
at both sides to prevent it moving forward in
the event of sharp braking, causing injury to
passengers.

SEAT BELTS
USING THE SEAT BELTS fig. 1
Wear the belt keeping the chest straight and rested against
the backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the tongue A and insert it in-
to the buckle B, until the locking click is heard. If the
seat belt jams during removal, let it rewind for a short
stretch, then pull it out again without jerking.
To unfasten the seat belts, press button C. Guide the seat
belt with your hand while it is rewinding, to prevent it
from twisting. Through the reel, the belt automatically
adapts to the body of the passenger wearing it, allowing
freedom of movement.The reel may lock when the car is parked on a steep slope:
this is perfectly normal. Furthermore, the reel mechanism
locks the belt if it is pulled and in the event of sudden brak-
ing, collisions and on high speed bends. The rear seat is
fitted with inertial seat belts with three anchor points and
a reel.
Never press button C when travelling.
Remember that in the event of a violent col-
lision, rear seat passengers not wearing seat
belts risk both their own safety and represent
a serious danger for the front seat passengers.
