Repositioning the rear seat
To reposition the rear seat, push the backrest
backwards as shown in fig. 92 and secure it (when it
clicks into place, this indicates correct positioning).
WARNING
Make sure the backrest is properly
secured at both sides to prevent it
moving forward in the event of sharp braking
with possible impacts on possible occupants.
Repositioning the backrest
To bring the backrest back to normal usage position,
lift lever B fig. 88 and then raise the backrest until
vertical engagement position is reached."CARGO MAGIC SPACE"
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The car features a load platform which can be
adjusted to three different heights, called "Cargo
Magic Space", permitting modular luggage
compartment volume:
❒Position 0 (platform completely lowered):
permits maximum luggage compartment capacity;
❒Position 1 (platform at threshold level):
permits a level load threshold to facilitate
loading/unloading of objects in the luggage
compartment. It also allows the space underneath
to be used as a further compartment for stowing
objects which are more fragile or small;
❒Position 2 (platform completely raised):in
conjunction with the lowering of the rear seat
and front passenger side seat backrests, permits
long objects to be loaded. It is advisable to use this
position only for the actual period in which the
objects are transported, then return the platform
to position 0 or 1.
The dimensions of the platform permit a
maximum capacity of distributed weight
of 70 kg (in position 1) or 40 kg (in
position 2): do not load objects with a higher
weight .

CONDITIONS OF USE
Cold starting
Short distances and frequent cold start-ups will
prevent the engine from reaching optimal running
temperature.
Consequently, both consumption (from +15 to +30%
on urban cycle ) and emissions will increase.
Traffic and road conditions
Rather high fuel consumption is caused by heavy
traffic, for instance when travelling in a queue with
frequent use of low gears or in large towns with
many traffic lights.
Mountain and rough roads also have a negative effect
on fuel consumption.
Stops in traffic
During prolonged stops (e.g. level crossings) the
engine should be switched off.
TOWING TRAILERSIMPORTANT NOTES
For towing caravans or trailers the car must be fitted
with a type-approved tow hook and an adequate
electrical system. Installation must be carried out by
a specialist.
Install any specific and/or additional rear view mirrors
as specified by the Highway Code.
Remember that when towing a trailer, steep hills are
harder to climb, braking distances increase and
overtaking takes longer depending on the overall
weight of the trail.
Engage a low gear when driving downhill, rather than
constantly using the brake.
The weight of the trailer on the car's tow hook will
reduce the load capacity of the car by the same
amount. To make sure that the maximum towable
weight is not exceeded (given in the car registration
document) account should be taken of the fully
laden trailer, including accessories and luggage.
Respect the speed limits specific to each country for
vehicles towing trailers. In any case, the top speed
must not exceed 100 km/h.
