WARNING!
Do not adjust the steering column while

column unlocked, could cause the driver
to lose control of the vehicle. Failure to
follow this warning may result in serious
injury or death.
Do not place any objects on the steering
wheel (e.g. permanently fixed covers of
any type or material) which could interfere
with the capacitive hand detection sensor
on the steering wheel of the Active Blind
Spot Assist (ABSA), Lane Keeping Assist
(LKA), Traffic Jam Assist (TJA) or Highway
Assist (HAS) systems (if equipped).
WARNING!

It is absolutely forbidden to carry out any
after-market operation involving steering
system or steering column modifications (e.g.
installation of anti-theft device) that could
adversely affect performance. Doing so could
void the New Vehicle Limited Warrant, cause
SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEMS INCLUDING
INJURY, and also result in the vehicle not
meeting type-approval requirements.

To create a new memory profile, perform the
following:
1. Place the vehicle’s ignition in the ACC posi -
tion (do not start the engine), and make
sure the driver’s door is closed.

A memory profile can also be set for three
minutes after the driver’s door has been
opened.
2. Adjust all memory profile settings to desired preferences, driver’s seat and
mirror positions.
3. Push and hold the memory button you want to program for 1.5 seconds.

skin because of advanced age, chronic
illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medi -
cation, alcohol use, exhaustion, or other
physical conditions must exercise care
when using the steering wheel heater. It
may cause burns even at low tempera -
tures, especially if used for long periods.
Do not place anything on the steering

Head Restraints
Head restraints are designed to reduce the
risk of injury by restricting head movement in
the event of a rear impact. Head restraints
should be adjusted so that the top of the head
restraint is located above the top of your ear.
Sparco Racing Seat Head Restraints
(Quadrifoglio Vehicles) — If Equipped
Head restraints on Sparco Racing Seats (front
seats) are non-adjustable and non-removable.

The non-adjustable head restraints consist of a
trimmed foam covering over the upper structure
of the seatbacks and are intended to help
protect you and the passenger from neck injury.

Adjust the seatbacks to their upright, on-road
positions so that the head restraint is posi-
tioned as close as possible to the back of your
head.
Front Head Restraints
The front head restraints may be
height-adjustable. To raise the head restraint, pull up on the head
restraint until it clicks into place.
To lower the head restraint, push in the adjust
-
ment button and lower the head restraint to
the desired height while holding the button.
Then, release the adjustment button.

To allow maximum visibility for the driver, if the
head restraints are not in use, lower the head
restraint all the way.
Rear Head Restraint Adjustment

be adjusted. The head restraint of the center
seat can only be removed. The height cannot
be adjusted.
WARNING!
A loose head restraint thrown forward in a
collision or hard stop could cause serious
injury or death to occupants of the vehicle.
Always securely stow removed head
restraints in a location outside the occu -
pant compartment.
ALL the head restraints MUST be rein -
stalled in the vehicle to properly protect
the occupants. Follow the re-installation
instructions above prior to operating the

Do not place items over the top of the
Reactive Head Restraint, such as coats,
seat covers or portable DVD players.
These items may interfere with the opera -
tion of the Reactive Head Restraint in the
event of a collision and could result in
serious injury or death.
WARNING!
All occupants, including the driver, should
not operate a vehicle or sit in a vehicle’s
seat until the head restraints are placed in
their proper positions in order to minimize
the risk of neck injury in the event of a
crash.
Head restraints should never be adjusted
while the vehicle is in motion. Driving a
vehicle with the head restraints improp -
erly adjusted or removed could cause
serious injury or death in the event of a
collision.
