ADJUSTMENTS
SEATS Lengthwise adjustment
Raise the lever A-fig. 10 and push
the seat forwards or backwards: in
driving position your arms should be
slightly bent and your hands should
rest on the rim of the steering
wheel.
After releasing the adjustment lever
always check that the seat is locked
into place by trying to move it back
and forth. Failure to lock the seat
could cause it to move and detach
from the guides.
All adjustments must be
made only with the
vehicle stationary.
WARNING
Do not remove the
seats or attempt to
service and/or repair them:
operations which are carried
out incorrectly may
compromise the operation of
the safety devices; always
contact a Fiat Dealership.

return to its original position
(mechanical memory).

FRONT SEAT BELT HEIGHT
ADJUSTMENT
Always adjust the height of the seat
belt to the body of the passenger.
This precaution may considerably
reduce the risk of injury in the event
of a collision.
Correct adjustment is obtained
when the belt passes approximately
half way between the shoulder and
the neck.
According to the version, there may
be as many as 5 height adjustment
positions fig. 22:
To raise: lift the ring B to the
desired position.
The height of the seat
belts must be adjusted
with the vehicle stationary.
WARNING
SEAT BELTS
HOW TO USE THE
SEAT BELTS fig. 21
To fasten the seat belts, hold the
tongue A and insert it into the
buckle B, until it clicks into place.
Pull the belt lightly. If the seat belt
jams, let it rewind for a short
stretch, then pull it out again
without jerking.
fig. 21

To unfasten the seat belt, press
button C. Guide the seat belt 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 vehicle
is parked on a steep slope: this is
normal.
Furthermore, the reel mechanism
locks the belt if it is pulled sharply or
in the event of sudden braking,
collisions and high-speed bends.
For maximum
protection, keep the
backrest upright, lean back
into it and make sure that the
seat belt fits closely across the
chest and pelvis.

REAR AND SIDE
FOOTBOARDS
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
To facilitate access to the load
compartment, the vehicle features
two rear footboards fig. 96.
To facilitate access to the passenger
compartment, the Adventure
version features side footboards.
HEADLIGHTS
LIGHT BEAM DIRECTION
The correct direction of the
headlights is essential for the
comfort and safety of the driver and
other road users. To ensure the
best visibility when travelling with
the headlights on, the vehicle’s
headlight alignment must be correct.
Contact a Fiat Dealership to have
the headlights checked and adjusted.
HEADLIGHT ALIGNMENT
CORRECTOR
This device operates with the
ignition key at MAR and the dipped
headlights on. The vehicle tilts
backwards when it is laden, raising
the beam. The beams must
therefore be realigned in this case.Headlight alignment
adjustment fig. 97
To adjust, depending on the version,
use the dedicated buttons on the
control panel to the left of the
steering wheel fig. 97.
The display on the instrument panel
provides a visual indication of the
adjustment position.
Position 0 - one or two people in
the front seats.
Position 1 (for versions/markets,
where provided) - four people.
Position 2 (for versions/markets,
where provided) - four people +
load in the rear compartment.
