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.

HEADRESTS
12) 13)
FRONT HEAD
RESTRAINTS
They are height-adjustable: to adjust
them operate as follows.
Upwards adjustment: raise the head
restraint until it clicks into place.
Downward adjustment:press button
A fig. 11 and lower the head restraint.
"Anti-Whiplash" device
The head restraints are equipped with
an “Anti-Whiplash” device, which
reduces the distance between head
and head restraint in the event of a rear
impact, thus mitigating the "whiplash"
effect.The head restraint may move when the
backrest is pressed by the occupant’s
torso or hand: this behaviour is caused
by the system and should not be
considered a malfunction.
REAR HEAD RESTRAINTS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Two height-adjustable head restraints
are provided for the rear seats. On
some versions a head restraint is also
provided for the central seat.
Upwards adjustment: raise the head
restraint until it clicks into place.
Downward adjustment:press button
A fig. 12 and lower the head restraint.
Removal
Proceed as follows to remove the head
restraints:
raise the head restraints to their
maximum height;
press buttons A and B fig. 12 at the
side of the two supports, then remove
the head restraints by pulling them
upwards.
IMPORTANT If the rear seats are used,
always set the head restraints in the
"completely raised" position.
WARNING
12)All adjustments must be made with the
car stationary. Head restraints must be
adjusted so that the head, rather than the
neck, rests on them. Only in this case
they can protect your head correctly.
13)To make the best use of the head
restraint's protective action, adjust the
backrest so that you are sitting upright and
keep your head as close as possible to
the head restraint.

C - Climate control system compressor activation/deactivation.
D - Internal air recirculation activation/deactivation button.
E - AUTO function activation (climate control system automatic operation).
F - heated rear window on/off.
G - Fan speed adjustment knob.
H - Climate control on/off.
I/L - Adjustment of temperature inside the passenger compartment.
NOTEIn particularly severe climate conditions it is recommended to limit the use of the Stop/Start function to prevent the
compressor from continuously switching on and off, with consequent rapid misting of the windows and accumulation of
humidity with unpleasant smells in the passenger compartment.
WARNING
19)It is advisable not to use the internal air recirculation function when the outside temperature is low, because the windows could mist
rapidly.
WARNING
2)The system uses R134a coolant which does not pollute the environment in the event of accidental leakage. Never use R12 fluid, which is
not compatible with the system components.
