of the diagonal section of the seat belt
of the central seat.
IMPORTANT When returning the rear
seat from the tilted position to the

time.
WARNING
11)All adjustments must be made with the
car stationary.
12)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. If the seat is not
locked into place, it may unexpectedly slide
and cause the driver to lose control of the
car.
13)Make sure the backrests are properly
secured at both sides (not visible "red
notches) to prevent them from moving
forward, in the event of sharp braking, with
possible impact with of the passengers.14)People who can't feel skin pain due to
advanced age, chronic diseases, diabetes,
spine damage, medication, alcohol,
exhaustion, or other physical conditions,
must be careful when using the seat
heater. It could cause burns even at a low
temperature, especially when used for long
periods of time.
15)Do not place objects on the seat or on
the backrest that may isolate the heat,
such as a cover or a pillow. It may cause
the seat heating device to overheat. Sitting
on an overheated seat may cause severe
burns due to the increase in temperature of
the seat surface.
IMPORTANT
4)The fabric upholstery of the seats has
been designed to withstand long-term wear
deriving from normal use of the car. Some
precautions are however required. Avoid
prolonged and/or excessive rubbing
against clothing accessories such as metal
buckles and Velcro strips which, by
applying a high pressure on the fabric in a
small area, could cause it to break, thereby
damaging the upholstery.
