WARNING
The fabric upholstery of your car is
designed to withstand 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.

remote control fig. 73.
The direction indicators will blink twice when the
tailgate is opened using the remote control.

shelf or rear door (speakers, spoiler, etc.),
except when approved by the
manufacturer, can affect the correct operation of
the side gas shock absorbers of the rear door
