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
the parking brake, the brake pedal or the
automatic transmission lever (where
present).
10)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
the internal handle.
IMPORTANT
2)Make sure to take the key with you once
a door or the tailgate is locked, to prevent
locking the same key inside the vehicle. If
the key has been locked in, it can only be
recovered using the second provided key.
3)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,

Repositioning the backrests
13)
Raise the backrests and push them
back until the locking click of both
retainers is heard. Visually check that
the red marks have disappeared from
the release devices 1 fig. 12.The presence of the red notches
indicates that the backrest is not
secured. In the left buckle (without the
red unlock button on the slot) insert the
first tongue which is located at the end
of the diagonal section of the seat belt
of the central seat.
IMPORTANT When returning the rear
seat from the tilted position to the
normal operating position, take care to
refit the seat belt correctly, in order to
guarantee prompt availability every
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.

OCCUPANT
PROTECTION
SYSTEMS
Some of the most important safety
equipment of the vehicle comprise the
following protection systems:
seat belts;
SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) system;
head restraints;
child restraint systems;
Front air bags, side air bags (if
present) and drop down air bags (if
present).
Read the information given the following
pages with the utmost care. It is of
fundamental importance that the
protection systems are used in the
correct way to guarantee the maximum
possible safety level for the driver and
the passengers.
For the description of the head restraint
adjustment see the "Head restraints"
paragraph in the "Knowing your vehicle"
chapter.
SEAT BELTS
All vehicle seats are equipped with seat
belts with three anchor points and a
retractor.
The retractor mechanism operates
locking the belt in the event of sharp
braking or strong deceleration due to
an impact. This allows the belt strap to
slide freely and to adapt to the body of
the occupant. In the event of an
accident, the belt will lock reducing the
risk of impact inside the passenger
compartment and of being projected
outside the vehicle.
The driver is responsible for respecting,
and ensuring that all the other
occupants of the vehicle also respect,
the local laws in force in relation to the
use of the seat belts.
Always fasten the seat belts before
setting off.
USING THE SEAT BELTS
The seat belt should be worn keeping
the chest straight and rested against
the backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the
tongue 1 fig. 70 and insert it into the
buckle 2, until it clicks into place.On removal of the belt, if it jams, let it
rewind for a short stretch, then pull it
out again without jerking.
To unfasten the seat belts, press button
3 fig. 70 and guide the seat belt with
your hand while it is rewinding, to
prevent it from twisting.
70) 71)
The retractor may lock when the vehicle
is parked on a steep slope: this is
perfectly normal. Furthermore, the reel
mechanism locks the belt if it is pulled
sharply or in the event of sudden
braking, collisions and high-speed
bends.
Once seated, put on the rear seat belts
as shown in fig. 71.

SAFETY

Seat belt of the rear central seat
Unlike other seat belts, this one has two
buckles and two metal tongues. In this
manner, release the seat belt to recline
a larger portion (2/3) of the backrest
(see the "Seats" chapter for more
information).
To fasten the seat belt follow the below
procedure:
Place yourself on the central seat
and normally pull out the seat belt from
top rewinder without twisting it;
In the left buckle (without the red
unlock button on the slot) insert the first
tongue which is located at the end of
the diagonal section of the seat belt;
In the right buckle insert the tongue
which is located at the end of the
abdominal section of the belt.
To unfasten the seat belt, unlock the
tongue of the abdominal section
pressing the red button.
IMPORTANT With the rear seat
backrest in vertical position, ensure that
the tongue which is located at the end
of the diagonal section of the central
seat belt is always properly hooked to
the left buckle (without the red unlock
button on the slot).
ADJUSTING THE SEAT
BELT HEIGHT
72) 73)
Four different adjustments in height are
possible.To carry out window height adjustment,
from the top to the bottom, button 1
fig. 73 must be pressed, and the handle
must be slid downwards.
To carry out window height adjustment,
from the top to the bottom, the handle
must be slid (without pressing
anything).
Always adjust the height of the seat
belts to fit the person wearing it: this
precaution could greatly reduce the risk
of injury in the event of collision.
Correct adjustment is obtained when
the belt passes approximately half way
between the shoulder and the neck.
