GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

To lower the head restraint, press
button B fig. 18. The particular shape of
the head restraint deliberately interferes
with the correct support of the rear
passenger’s back on the backrest in
order to force them to lift the head
restraint for correct use.
IMPORTANT If the rear seats are used,
always set the head restraints in the
"completely raised" position.STEERING WHEEL
The steering wheel can be adjusted
vertically.
To adjust the steering wheel, move the
lever fig. 19 downwards to position
2. Adjust the steering wheel into the
most suitable position and lock it in this
position by moving the lever A to
position 1.

involving steering system or
steering column modifications
(e.g. installation of anti-theft
