All adjustments must be made with the car sta-
tionary.
Lengthwise adjustment
Lift A stalk and push the seat forwards or backwards: in the driving
position your arms should rest on the rim of the steering wheel.
After releasing the adjustment lever, always check
that the seat is locked on the guides by trying to
move it back and forth. If it is not locked, the seat
may move unexpectedly and make you lose control of
the car.
For maximum protection, keep the back of your
seat upright, lean back into it and make sure the
seat belt fits closely across your chest and hips.

seats (to adjust the height see the previous paragraph). On some
versions a head restraint is also provided for the central seat.
To remove the head restraints:
❍raise the head restraints to their maximum height;
❍press A and B buttons fig. 27 and then remove the head re-
straint by sliding it upwards.
STEERING WHEEL
It can be adjusted axially and vertically.
To adjust, release A lever fig. 28 by pushing it forwards (position

fig. 27A0K0065mfig. 28A0K0077m
Any adjustment of the steering wheel position must
be carried out only with the car stationary and the
engine turned off.
It is absolutely forbidden to carry out any after-
market operation involving steering system or
steering column modifications (e.g. installing an
anti-theft device) that could badly affect performance and
safety, invalidate the warranty and also result in the car
failing to comply with regulations.

The jack may be used to replace wheels only on
the car that it comes with or other cars of the same
model. Never use the jack for other purposes, such
as lifting other models. Never use the jack to carry out re-
pairs under the car. Incorrect positioning of the jack may
cause the car to fall. Do not use the jack for loads higher
than the one shown on its label. Never install snow chains
on the space-saver spare wheel; if a front tyre (driving
wheel) is punctured and you need to use snow chains, use
a standard wheel from the rear axle and install the space-
saver spare wheel on the rear axle. In this way, with two
normal drive wheels, it is possible to use snow chains.
If the hub cap is not fitted correctly, it may come
off when the car is travelling. Never tamper with
the inflation valve. Never introduce tools of any
kind between the rim and the tyre. Regularly check the
inflation pressure of the tyres and space-saver wheel (see
chapter “Technical specifications”).Vehicle handling is modified with the space-saver
spare wheel fitted. Avoid violent acceleration and
braking, sharp steering and fast cornering. The
overall duration of the space-saver spare wheel is of about
3000 km, after which the relevant tyre must be replaced
with another one of the same type. Never install a tradi-
tional tyre on a rim designed to be used as a space-saver
spare wheel. Repair and refit the standard wheel as soon
as possible. Using two or more space-saver spare wheels
at the same time is forbidden. Do not apply grease to
the bolt threads before assembly: they might sponta-
neously unscrew.
JACK
Important notes:
❍the jack weight is 1.76 kg;
❍the jack requires no adjustment;
❍the jack cannot be repaired; if it breaks it must be replaced with
a new jack;
❍no tool other than the cranking device may be fitted on the
jack.

INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the variants regard-
ing the operation of the AUX source: as far
as the operation of the radio is concerned,
refer to the description in the “Functions and
Adjustments” chapter.
AUX MODE
To activate the AUX source, press the MEDIA
button or the SRC steering wheel control sev-
eral times till the corresponding source is dis-
played.
IMPORTANT NOTES
The functions of the device connected with
the AUX socket are directly managed by the
device itself; it is not possible to change
track/folder/playlist with radio or steering
wheel controls.
Do not leave the cable of your portable play-
er connected with the AUX socket after the
disconnection, to avoid possible hisses from
the speakers.NOTE The AUX socket is not incorporated
in the radio. For its position, refer to the
Blue&Me™ Supplement and its Quick
Guide.
