BASIC VERSION

The rear seat folds down separately (60% - 40%), with side fillers anchored to the bodywork.

The squab has a central armrest which, when lowered, gives access to a flap which communicates with the luggage compartment. This space allows long objects to be transported without having to lower the squab. On request, the space can be fitted with a

bag for transporting skis.

The side seat belts are height adjustable, as are the two headrests.

At the base of the squab there are the mountings for the seat belt buckles. At the top of the squab, there is an embellishment for securing the central seat belt section, when not in use.

To fold the seat, proceed as follows:

Remove the winder with luggage-covering curtain.

Tilt the cushion.

Remove the rear head restraints and secure them in their specific seats in the cushion.

Operate the side locks and fold down the squab until a single load compartment, comprising the luggage compartment, is obtained. The side locks have a sight check system for checking that the squab is correctly engaged.
