Repositioning the backrests
Move the seat belts to the side, making
sure that they are correctly extended
and not twisted.
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 (A) fig. 19. The
presence of a red mark indicates that
the respective backrest section is not
secured.
WARNING

All adjustments must be made with the
car stationary.
13) After releasing 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.
14)
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 the passengers.

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.
5) Do not arrange objects beneath the
electrically adjustable seat and do not
impede its movement, since the controls
may be damaged. The fabric upholstery
of the seats has been designed to
