When reclining the rear seat backs, to put
the seat buckles back properly, use the
suitable housings A-fig. 3 obtained in the
cushion.

Take out buckles from their housings (ver-
sions with rear sliding seat) when reset-
ting the seat in straight position, to have
them ready for use.

IMPORTANT When the seat back is cou-
pled properly, the “red band” B-fig. 4 pre-
sent aside lever A disappears. The “red
band” actually indicates improper seat
back coupling. As concerns versions fitted
with sliding seat, always check that the
back is locked in proper position; these
versions are fitted with reclining seat:
when resetting it in proper position, make
sure to hear the locking click.

IMPORTANT Remember that in the
event of a violent collision, back seat pas-
sengers not wearing seat belts also rep-
resent a serious danger for the front seat
passengers.

Make sure the seat back is
correctly hooked on both

sides (“red bands” B-fig. 4 not visible)
to prevent seat back being thrown
forwards and injuring passengers
should you brake sharply.

WARNING

IMPORTANT After putting the seats back
to their travelling position, restore the
seat belt position to make them ready for
use.
