19)For maximum safety, keep the backrest
upright, lean back into it and make sure
the seat belt fits closely across your chest
and pelvis.
20)Before putting on the seatbelt, ensure
that the armrests are vertical (see
paragraph on "seat belts ”).
21)Before unfastening the belts and
getting out of the vehicle, ensure that the
outer armrest (door side) is fully raised.
22)All adjustments must be made with the
vehicle stationary. In particular, while
turning the seat, take care that it does not
interfere with the handbrake lever.
23)Ensure the seat is locked in driving
position before starting up the vehicle.
24)Do not place heavy loads on the flap
with the vehicle in motion because they
could be thrown against the vehicle
occupants in the event of sudden braking
or impacts, causing severe injury.
25)Do not travel with passengers seated in
the 3rd row with the 2nd row bench folded
over. Do not place objects of any type on
the backrest of the 2nd row bench folded
over: in the event of impact or sharp
braking they could be thrown against the
occupants of the vehicle casing serious
injury. For more information, see the
contents of the adhesive plate located
under the bench.
26)When refitting the bench, ensure that it
is correctly locked to the floor guides.
WARNING
3)The fabric upholstery of your vehicle is
designed to withstand the normal wear
and tear of your vehicle for a long time.
You are however recommended to avoid
strong and/or continuous scratching
with clothing accessories such as metal
buckles, studs, Velcro fastenings and the
like, as these items cause stress of the
cover fabric that could lead to yarn
breaking and damage the upholstery.
STEERING WHEEL
The steering wheel position can be
adjusted axially.
To carry out the adjustment, proceed as
follows:
release the lever fig. 45 by pulling it
towards the steering wheel (position 2);
adjust the steering wheel;
block the lever by pushing it
forwards (position 1).

AUTOMATIC MAIN BEAM
HEADLIGHTS
In order not to dazzle other road users,
the main beam headlights are
automatically turned off when
approaching oncoming vehicles or
when following a vehicle travelling in the
same direction.
The system is enabled through the
menu item and by rotating the light
selector to the
position.When the main beam headlights are
turned on for the first time by pulling the
stalk, the function is enabled and the
icon is displayed; if the main beam
headlights are actually on, the
corresponding blue warning light
is
displayed as well.
If the driving speed is over 40 km/h and
the function is activated, pulling the
stalk again to the main beam headlight
position deactivates the function.
If the driving speed is below 15 km/h
and the function is activated, the
function switches the main beam
headlights off. Pulling the stalk again to
the main beam headlight position is
interpreted as a request for the main
beam headlights to stay on, therefore
the blue warning light
on the
dashboard turns on and the main beam
headlights stay on until the speed
exceeds 40 km/h again. The function is
enabled again automatically when 40
km/h is exceeded
.
If the stalk is pulled again in this
condition, to request main beam
headlight deactivation, the function
remains off and the main beam
headlights switch off.
Rotate the ring to the
position fig.
51 to disable the automatic function.

Activation
Turn the ring to the
position fig. 56:
this turns the side lights and the dipped
beam headlights on simultaneously
and automatically depending on the
exterior brightness.
Deactivation
The main beam headlights will go out
followed by the side lights after
approximately 10 seconds, when the
sensor is deactivated.
The sensor is not capable of detecting
the presence of fog. Therefore, in
these circumstances, the lights have to
be turned on manually.WARNING
31)The daytime running lights are an
alternative to the dipped beam headlights
for driving during the daytime in countries
where it is compulsory to have lights on
during the day, and they are also permitted
in those countries where this is not
obligatory. Daytime running lights cannot
replace dipped beam headlights when
driving at night or through tunnels. The use
of daytime running lights is governed by
the highway code of the country in which
you are driving. Comply with legal
requirements.
32)The system is based on recognition via
a camera. Particular environmental
conditions may affect the correct
recognition of traffic conditions. Therefore,
the driver is always responsible for the
correct use of the main beam headlights in
compliance with the laws in force. Rotate
the ring to the
position fig. 51to
disable the automatic function.
33)If the camera loses its position due to a
load variation, the system may not work
temporarily to allow the camera to perform
an auto-calibration.
