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.
HEAD RESTRAINTS

47) 48) 49) 50) 51) 52)
To adjust height
Front seats
Adjust the head restraint height so that
the centre of the head restraint is as
close as possible to ear level to reduce
the chances of injury in the event of
collision. Any person too tall for the
head restraint to reach their seated ear
level, should adjust the restraint as high
as possible.
To raise the head restraint, move it
upward.
To lower the restraint, move it
downward while pushing the height
adjusting knob (A) in the direction of the
arrow. After adjustment, push the head
restraint downward and make sure that
it is locked.

After pressing the “UNLOCK” switch
to unlock the doors, if the “UNLOCK”
switch is pressed again twice in a row
within about 30 seconds, the outside
rear-view mirrors will extend again.
Heated mirror (where provided)
To demist or defrost the outside rear
view mirrors, press the rear window
demister switch.
The indicator lamp (A) will illuminate
while the demister is on.
The heater will be turned off
automatically in about 20 minutes
depending on the outside temperature.
Type 1Type 2
NOTE The heater mirrors can be
turned on automatically. For further
information, we recommend you to
consult a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
56)As the driver's exterior mirror is curved,
it may slightly alter the perception of
distance of the reflected image. Further, the
reflective surface of the lower part of the
exterior mirrors is parabolic to increase the
field of view. The reflected image size is
thus reduced and gives the impression that
the reflected item is further away than it
actually is.
57)Do not attempt to adjust the rear view
mirrors while driving. This can be
dangerous. Always adjust the mirrors
before driving.58)Your vehicle is equipped with convex
type mirrors. Remind that objects that you
see in the mirror will look smaller and
farther away compared to a normal flat
mirror. Do not use this mirror to estimate
distance of following vehicles when
changing lanes.
59)Do not drive the vehicle with the mirror
folded in. The lack of rearward visibility
normally provided by the mirror could lead
to an accident.
IMPORTANT
20)It is possible to retract and extend the
mirrors by hand. After retracting a mirror
using the mirror retractor switch, however,
you should extend it by using the switch
again, not by hand. If you extended the
mirror by hand after retracting it using the
switch, it would not properly lock in
position. As a result, it could move because
of the wind or vibration while you are
driving, taking away your rearward visibility.
