WARNING
11)Make sure the doors are closed:
driving with doors not completely closed is
dangerous.12)NEVER leave children unattended
inside the car, let alone leave the car with
the doors unlocked in a place that children
can access easily. Children may seriously,
or even fatally, injure themselves. Also
ensure that children do not inadvertently
operate
13)Be careful not to lock the doors while
the key is inside the vehicle.
14)When opening the rear door, confirm
that the occupant of the front seat has
taken off the seat belt before opening the

tightened with the locked seat belt and
could result in serious injury.
15)When closing the rear door, make sure
not being trapped your hands or your
fingers in the doors.
16)Before driving, make sure that the rear
door is securely closed. If a door is ajar, the
door ajar warning lamp will illuminates. If a
door is not completely closed, the rear
door could open while driving and this
could cause an accident such as
occupants being thrown from the vehicle.
17)When opening or closing the rear door,
please observe the followings. If you do not
follow them, it could result in damage to
your vehicle. Do not open or close the rear
door and the front door at the same time.

even when the vehicle speed exceeds
approximately 15 km/h. 2 — The door

Even when the ignition switch or the
operation mode is in ON, the SRS warning
lamp does not come on or it remains on. 4
— The SRS warning lamp comes on while
driving. 5 — The central door lock system
is broken down.
21)When driving with a child in the rear
seat, please use the child protection to
prevent accidental door opening which
may cause an accident.
22)If the child lock was engaged and the
previously described locking procedure
carried out, operating the internal opening
handle will not open the door: in this case,
to open the door, the outside handle must
be used. The door central locking/
unlocking button is not disabled by the
engagement of the emergency lock.
23)Always use this device when carrying
children. After engaging the child lock on
both rear doors, check for effective
engagement by trying to open a door with

inside the vehicle. Therefore, before
engaging the system check that there is no
one left inside. If the remote control battery
is flat, the system can be disengaged only
by inserting the key metal insert in either of
the door locks as described previously: in
this case the device remains active only for
the rear doors.

WARNING
32)All adjustments must be made with the
vehicle stationary.
33)Do not attempt to adjust the seat while
driving. This can cause loss of vehicle
control and result in an accident. After
adjustments are made, ensure the seating
is locked in position by attempting to move
the seat forward and rearward without
using the adjusting mechanism.
34)After releasing the adjustment lever,
always check that the seat is locked on the
guides by trying to move it back and forth.
If it is not locked, the seat may move
unexpectedly and make you lose control of
the vehicle.35)For maximum safety, keep the back of
your seat upright, lean back into it and
make sure the seat belt fits closely across
your chest and pelvis.
36)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.
37)It is extremely dangerous to ride in the
cargo area of a vehicle. Also, the cargo
area and rear seats should never be used
as a play area by children. In a collision,
people or children riding unrestrained in
these areas are more likely to be seriously
injured or killed.
38)Do not allow people or children to ride
in any area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat belts, and
make sure that everyone travelling in your
vehicle is in a seat and wearing a seat belt,
or in the case of a child is strapped in a
child restraint.
39)To minimize the risk of personal injury in
the event of a collision or sudden braking,
the seatbacks should always be in the
almost upright position while the vehicle is
in motion. The protection provided by the
seat belts may be reduced significantly
when the seatback is reclined. There is
greater risk that the passenger will slide
under the seat belt, resulting in serious
injury, when the seatback is reclined.
40)Do not place objects under the seats.
This could prevent the seat from locking
securely, and it could lead to an accident. It
may also cause damage to the seat or
other parts.
41)Make sure the seat is adjusted by an
adult or with adult supervision for correct
and safe operation.

42)Do not place a cushion or the like
between your back and the seatback while
driving. The effectiveness of the head
restraints will be reduced in the event of an
accident.
43)The reclining mechanism of the front
manual seat's seatback is spring loaded,
causing it to fold the seatback forward
when the lock lever is operated. When
using the lever, sit close to the seatback or
hold it with your hand to control its return
motion.
44)When sliding the seats, be careful not
to catch your hand or foot.
45)If your vehicle is equipped with the rear
seat, when sliding or reclining the seat
rearward, pay careful attention to the rear
seat passengers.
46)If the following types of persons use
the heated seats, they might become too
hot or receive minor burns (red skin, heat
blisters, etc.): children, elderly or ill people,
people with sensitive skin, excessively tired
people, people under the influence of
alcohol or sleep inducing medication (cold
medicine, etc.).
IMPORTANT
10)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.11)Operate in the “HI” position for quick
heating. Once the seat is warm, set the
heater switch to the “LO” position to keep it
warm. Slight variations in seat temperature
may be felt while using the heated seats.
This is caused by the operation of the
heater’s internal thermostat and does not
indicate a malfunction.
12)Do not place heavy objects on the seat
or stick pins, needles, or other pointed
objects into it.
13)Do not use a blanket, cushion, or other
material with high heat insulation properties
on the seat while using the heater; this
might cause the heater element to
overheat.
14)Do not use benzine, kerosene, petrol,
alcohol or other organic solvents when
cleaning the seats. Doing so could damage
not only the seat cover, but also the heater
element.
15)If water or any other liquid is spilled on
the seat, allow it to dry thoroughly before
attempting to use the heater.
16)Turn the heater off immediately if it
appears to be malfunctioning during use.
