passenger’s reclining seatbacks must
always be in an upright position while
the vehicle is in motion; otherwise the
3-point shoulder/lap belt would not
remain firmly positioned against the

the switch 2 upward or
downward to raise or lower the
lumbar support.
WARNING!
• Never adjust the seat while driving.
You could lose control of the vehicle.
Moving the seat could distract you
or make you press a pedal
unintentionally.
• Seats should be adjusted before fastening the seat belts and while
the vehicle is parked.
• Do not ride with the seatback
reclined so that the shoulder belt is
no longer resting against your chest.
In a collision you could slide under
the seat belt, which could result in
serious injury or death.

with memory function) incorporates a
safety device which stops the seat
travel and then moves it forward
slightly when the seatback touches the
passengers seated in the rear seats. To
stop the seat when it is automatically
moving forward or backward, operate
any control.
WARNING!
When the seatback is reclined forward
or moved to the upright position, the
front seat must not be occupied.

Comfort Pack Front Seats This includes:
• heating of the front seats;
• driver seat, steering wheel and
outside rearview mirrors memory
position (see paragraph "Driver
Memory Seat" in this chapter).
Front Heated Seats The front seats are equipped with
heaters in both seat cushions and
seatbacks.
WARNING!
• Persons with low skin sensitivity
because of advanced age, chronic
illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury,
medication, alcohol use, exhaustion
or other physical conditions must be
careful when using the seat heater. It
may cause irritation even at low
temperatures, especially if used for
long periods of time.
• Do not place anything on the seat
that insulates against heat, such as a
blanket or cushion. This may cause
the seat heater to overheat. NOTE:
Seat
heating also works with engine
off and key in ignition switch in ACC
or MAR (ON) position. To avoid
discharging the battery, it is
recommended to activate the feature
with engine running.
The heating is activated by turning
control on the outer side of the seat
cushion.
When this function is active for one or
more seats, the relative warning light
will illuminate on the display. Using
this control, heating can be adjusted
to 3 different levels.
NOTE:
• Turn off the heating system when
not required, to prevent unnecessary
power wastage.

heated, press "+" or "–" buttons to
change the heating level.
Driver Memory Seat This feature allows the driver to store
up to three different memory profiles
for easy recall through the buttons on
the outer side of the seat cushion.
Each memory profile contains desired
position settings for the driver seat,
outside side mirrors and power tilt
and telescopic steering column. The memory procedure is only possible
with the key in the ignition switch
turned in MAR (ON) position.

outside rearview mirrors and the
steering wheel.

the passenger’s outside mirror again
to ensure the best possible visibility
for reversing, then disengage R
(Reverse) gear.

“1”, “2” or “3”, each corresponding to
a memorizable position, for more than
3 seconds until you hear a
confirmation tone.
Lumbar support adjustment is not
included in the seat position storage
procedure.
The memorization of a new seat
position cancels the one previously
stored with that particular button.Understanding the Vehicle

Move the mirror control switch
corresponding to the direction of the
mirror desired movement (up - down -
right - left).
Bring the external selector dial back to
the center position to avoid changing
the position of the mirror
involuntarily. WARNING!

outside convex mirror will look
smaller and farther away than they
really are. Relying too much on your
passenger side convex mirror could
cause you to collide with another
vehicle or object. Use the inside mirror
to judge the size or distance of a
vehicle seen in the outside convex
mirror.

lower central position "CLOSE", both
mirrors fold inward to facilitate
parking in narrow spaces. If the
selector dial is returned to the upper
central position, the mirrors return to
the open position. WARNING!

• typical port impedance between
AUX-IN and AUX_REF: 13 Kohm;
• max. applicable voltage: 0.75 Vrms at
1 kHz;
• port compatible only with 3.5 mm
jack connectors (not included).
Any player with these characteristics
and analog audio output (headset
output type) can be served by the
MTC+ System. The system can
recognize the connection to a player
outlet autonomously, by enabling
access to the audio functions
connected to this source.
This
USB port can be used for
data exchange and charge of the
connected source (refer to the MTC+
guide for further details).
Through this USB input is possible to
recharge the connected device for
about an hour from when the key in
the ignition switch is turned in STOP
(OFF) position (“Active Charging”
feature). When this feature is enabled,
the USB port will be backlit.
In this compartment there is also an
SD memory card input. Once inserted into the slot, to extract it press lightly
on the card.
Other two USB ports are present for
rear seat passengers, on the rear part
of the central console.
To access the USB port, open the
outside cover. These USB ports allow
charging the connected source.
When you turn the key in the ignition
switch in STOP (OFF) position, these
USB ports remain active for 10 minutes
to allow the charging of connected
devices.
iPod ®
Connection An iPod ®
can be connected to the
system via USB and AUX ports by
means of a special cable (optional).
The MTC+ will then control the
following functions: play, pause, fast
forward, rewind, next track, previous
track, random or repeat mode, selection and navigation of
playlist/genre/singer/album/Podcast.
CAUTION!
Do not leave your USB device, iPod ®
or an external audio source in the
vehicle for extended period of time:
extreme temperatures and humidity
can occur in the vehicle.
