It explains the key principles behind setting up the seats for the most comfort, support, and driving pleasure, as well as the different options and settings that drivers and passengers can choose from.

SEATS

The front seats can be adjusted to ensure maximum comfort for the occupants. When adjusting the driver’s seat, keep the shoulders resting firmly against the backrest, and the wrists within reach of the top of the steering wheel. The driver must also be able to fully press the brake pedal.
WARNING

• It is dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed.
• Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts. In a collision, people riding in these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed.
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.

POWER SEATS
NOTE: The seat layout may vary according to the versions.
The power seat switches are located on the outboard side of the seat near the floor. Use these switches to move the driver’s seat up, down, forward, rearward, or to recline the seatback.

Power Seat Adjustment

1. Seat Adjustment
2. Recline Adjustment
3. Lumbar Adjustment

CAUTION: Do not place any article under a power seat or impede its ability to move as it may cause damage to the seat controls. Seat travel may become limited if movement is stopped by an obstruction in the seat’s path.

• Forward/Rearward Adjustment
  Push the seat switch forward or rearward to adjust to your desired position.
• Seatback Recline
  The angle of the seatback can be adjusted forward or rearward. Push the seatback switch in the desired direction, and the seat will move in the direction of the switch. Release the switch when the desired position is reached.
• Power Lumbar
  The power lumbar switch is located on the outboard side of the power seat. Push the switch forward or rearward to increase or decrease the lumbar support. Push the switch upward or downward to raise or lower the lumbar support.
• Height Adjustment
  The height of the seats can be adjusted up or down. Pull upward or push downward on the seat switch, and the seat will move in the direction of the switch. Release the switch when the desired position is reached.
• Seat Angle Adjustment (Tilting) — If Equipped
  The seat angle can be adjusted in four directions. Lift or push the front part of the seat switch to move the front part of the seat in the corresponding direction. Release the seat switch when the seat has reached the desired position.
• Power Bolster Adjustment — If Equipped
  Push the power bolster adjustment buttons to regulate the width of the backrest through the lateral padding.
• Seat Cushion Extension — If Equipped
  Lift the adjustment lever and push the front of the cushion forward or rearward to extend the cushion by a few inches (centimeters).

Driver Memory Seat
Storing and recalling can be done with the ignition in the ACC position, vehicle speed at 0 mph (0 km/h), and the driver’s side door closed, or for three minutes after having opened the driver’s side door. An audible chime is heard to confirm a memory profile is set or recalled. To set a memory profile, first adjust your seat (and power mirror position if desired) until you are in the desired position. Then, push the memory button you want to assign the set position to for 1.5 seconds. When a new seat position is memorized, the previously memorized position on the same button is automatically overwritten. Recalling a memorized position can also be done for approximately three minutes after the doors are opened and for approximately one minute after the engine is stopped. To recall a memorized position, push the assigned button briefly.
WARNING

• Adjusting a seat while driving may be dangerous. Moving a seat while driving could result in loss of control which could cause a collision and serious injury or death.
• Seats should be adjusted before fastening the seat belts and while the vehicle is parked. Serious injury or death could result from a poorly adjusted seat belt.
• Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the shoulder belt is no longer resting against your chest. In a collision, you could slide under the seat belt, which could result in serious injury or death.

HEATED SEATS — IF EQUIPPED
NOTE: Quadrifoglio vehicles equipped with Sparco Racing Seats will not be equipped with the heated seat feature.

With the ignition in the ON/RUN position, push the driver or passenger heated seat button located on the instrument panel.
NOTE: The heated seat function can also be activated through the radio system. Refer to the Information and Entertainment System Owner’s Manual Supplement for further information.

You can select three heating levels:

• Maximum — three LED indicators illuminated on the buttons
• Average — two LED indicators illuminated on the buttons
• Minimum — one LED indicator illuminated on the buttons

After selecting a heating level, heat will be felt within a few minutes.
A quick push of the heated seat button will select the heat levels in order of highest to lowest. A fourth push of the button will turn the heated seat off. The “minimum” setting is automatically deactivated once a certain period of time has elapsed. This varies on a case-by-case basis, in accordance with the specific operating conditions.
NOTE: The heated seat function can only be activated with the ignition in the ON/RUN position.

Vehicles Equipped With Remote Start
On models that are equipped with remote start, the front heated seats can be programmed to come on during remote start. The feature can be activated through the radio system. Refer to the Information and Entertainment System Owner’s Manual Supplement for further information.
NOTE: The heated seat function can only be activated with remote start in temperatures below 39°F (4°C).

Rear Heated Seats
If equipped with rear heated seats, the controls can be found on the rear of the center console and will function the same as the front heated seat controls.NOTE: To preserve the battery charge, this function cannot be activated when the engine is off.
WARNING

• Persons who are unable to feel pain in the skin because of advanced age, chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaustion, or other physical conditions must exercise care when using the seat heater. It may cause burns even at low temperatures, especially if used for long periods of time.
• Do not place anything on the seat or seatback that insulates against heat, such as a blanket or cushion. This may cause the seat heater to overheat. Sitting in a seat that has been overheated could cause serious burns due to the increased surface temperature of the seat.

REAR SEATS
The rear seats allow for three passengers.
NOTE: Middle Seat: The rear seat is designed as a 4+1 seat vehicle. The middle seat is of limited use. It is recommended that this seat only be used by a person who can use the backrest as a substitute for the head restraint.

The seats and the seat belts are considered components of the vehicle’s Occupant Restraint System.
NOTE: Refer to “Seat Belt Systems” in “Safety” for further information.

SPLIT FOLDING REAR SEAT
The rear seatbacks can be folded forward to provide an additional storage area. Partial Extension Of The Luggage Compartment (1/3 Or 2/3) Extending the right side of the trunk allows you to carry two passengers on the left part of the rear seat, while extending the left side allows you to carry one passenger.
Proceed as follows:

1. Completely lower the rear seat head restraints. Refer to “Head Restraints” in this chapter for further information.
2. Place the seat belt so that it doesn’t impede the movement of the backrest while tilting it.
3. From inside the luggage compartment, operate lever 1 to tilt the left part or lever 2 to tilt the right part of the backrest: it will automatically tilt forward. If necessary, assist the backrest during the initial stage of tilting.

Seat Release Levers

1. Left Side Seat, Release Lever
2. Right Side Seat Release Lever

Full Expansion Of The Trunk
Tilting the rear seat forward completely allows maximum loading volume.
Proceed as follows:

1. Completely lower the rear seat head restraints.
2. Place the seat belts so that they don’t impede the movement of the backrest while tilting it.
3. From inside the luggage compartment, use levers 1 and 2 to fold down the backrests; these will fold down forwards automatically. If necessary, accompany the backrests during the initial stage of tilting.

Repositioning The Backrests
Move the seat belts to the side, making sure that they are correctly extended and not twisted, and that they are not trapped behind the backrests of the seats. Make sure the seat belts are in the front of the seatback and lift the backrests, pushing them back until you hear the locking click on both latch mechanisms.
WARNING: Be certain that the seatback is securely locked into position. If the seatback is not securely locked into position the seat will not provide the proper stability for child seats and/or passengers. An improperly latched seat could cause serious injury.

Center Backrest Section Tilting
The center backrest can be tilted forward for a “Ski-Pass Through” feature from the trunk. Before tilting the backrest, make sure that the rear center seat belt is not fastened and that there are not any objects in the middle part of the cushion. Using the release strap, release the center part of the backrest from its housing and tilt it using the head restraint.

Center Backrest Section Repositioning
Using the head restraint, lift the center portion upwards, accompanying it during its movement, and lightly push to make sure that it is properly attached. Make sure that the armrest is properly attached by attempting to move it. If it is not attached, repeat the operation.
