Lengthwise direction adjustment fig. 20
Lift lever A and push the seat forwards or backwards: in
the driving position your arms should rest on the rim of
the steering wheel.
Any adjustments should be carried out
only when the vehicle is stationary.
WARNING
Once you have released the adjustment
lever, always check that the seat is
locked on the guides by trying to move it back
and forth. Failure to lock the seat in place could
result in the seat moving suddenly and the
driver losing control of the car.
WARNING
The fabric covers on your vehicle have
been designed to resist normal wear and
tear for a long time. Some precautions
are however needed. Avoid prolonged rubbing
against clothing accessories, such as metal
buckles, Velcro strips and the like, which by
applying a high pressure on the fabric in a small
area could cause the breakage of some threads
and damage the upholstery.

SAFETY FUNCTIONS
In engine cut-out conditions through the Start&Stop
system, if the driver unfastens his/her seat belt and
opens the driver’s door or the passenger door, the
engine can be restarted only by using the key.
The driver is notified of this condition both by a buzzer
and through an information message in the display and
by the warning light fig. 98 on the instrument panel
flashing.
ENERGY SAVING FUNCTION
(for versions/markets where provided)
If, after the engine has been automatically restarted, the
driver does not take any action for a period of about
three minutes, the Start&Stop system will definitively
stop the engine to avoid fuel consumption. In these
cases, the engine can be restarted only by using the key.
RESTARTING CONDITIONS
For reasons of comfort, limiting pollutant emissions and
safety purposes, the power unit can restart automatically
without any action on behalf of the driver if certain
conditions are met, including:
❒
battery not sufficiently charged;
❒ windscreen wipers working at maximum speed;
❒ reduced braking system pressure, e.g. following the
brake pedal being pressed repeatedly;
❒ car in motion, for example when driving on steep
roads;
❒ stopping the engine through the Start&Stop system
for more than about three minutes;
❒ automatic climate control system for establishing a
comfortable temperature or enabling the MAX –
DEF function.
With a gear engaged, the engine can be automatically
restarted only by fully depressing the clutch pedal.
The driver is asked to perform this operation through
a message on the instrument panel and, where provided,
by the warning light fig. 97 on the instrument panel
flashing.
Note If the clutch is not depressed when three minutes
have elapsed since the engine was stopped, the engine
can only be restarted using the key.
Note In cases when the engine stops and this is not
desired, due for example to the clutch pedal being
released sharply with a gear engaged, if the Start&Stop
system is activated, the engine can be restarted by fully
depressing the clutch pedal or by putting the gear lever
into neutral.

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 braking, collisions and on high speed bends.
The rear seat is fitted with inertia seat belts with three
anchor points and a reel.SAFETY BELTS
USING THE SEAT BELTS
fig. 106

rested against the seat back.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the tongue A and insert it
into the buckle B, until the locking click is heard.
On removal, if it jams, let it rewind for a short stretch,
then pull it out again without jerking.
