Practical information
Bench seat
The crew cab consists of a 3-seat
bench, located in row 2, the one-piece
back of which is solid with the "load
retainer" grille.
Access to the rear seats is via the sliding
side door. Head restraints and seat belts
The three seats are equipped with
inertia reel seat belts. The seat belts of
the side seats are solid with the panels,
whereas the seat belt of the centre seat
is solid with the back of the bench seat.
Each seat has a head restraint bolted
onto the load retaining grille and which
can be removed.
Do not store a head restraint inside
the vehicle unless it is stowed or fi xed
to a support.
Do not drive with rear passengers
without fi rst bolting the head restraints
in place. Placing the bench seat in the
fully folded position
- If necessary, move the front seats
forward and fasten the strap of the
seat belt of the centre seat.
- Check that the seat belt straps and buckles are positioned correctly
along the side panels, to ensure
that the sliding of the seat back
is not hindered.
- Release the seat back using the control A .

Practical information
Putting the bench seat back
in the seat position
- In a single movement: take hold of the red strap and pull
the assembly horizontally towards
the rear. Guide the movement until
the feet of the bench seat lock on
the fl oor.
- Raise the seat back. The control A locks automatically.
- Check that the bench is locked on the fl oor correctly once it has been
returned to the seat position.
Do not let the assembly fall sharply. Good practice
There is no need to assist, guide or
support using the arm which remains
free during the tilting movement.
The rear seat belt casings are not
designed for securing the load
transported. Use the stowing rings
on the fl oor only.
The bench seat of the crew cab is not
suitable for the installation of a child
seat.
- Using the same hand, fold the seat back and the associated grille onto
the seat cushion.
- Take hold of the red strap (like a handle) and lift and assembly
vertically, guiding the movement
to the fully folded position.
The raised seat rests against the backs
of the seats of row 1.

Practical information
The two interior bars are covered
with rubber and incorporate a strap
passage to secure the loaded objects.
The interior rack consists of two bars
to be installed at the top of the space
leaving the lower area of the passenger
compartment free.
It permits the transportation of long loads
(2 metres maximum) with the doors or
tailgate closed. The long load must rest
on the overhead storage compartment
and the two bars. However, be sure to comply with
the loads and weights permitted.
Maximum load: 10 kilogrammes per bar.

Practical information
Fitting the bars
- Unscrew the knurled wheels located at the ends of the bars fully.
- Take hold of the bar by the ends to slide them towards the inside
to retract them.
- Extract the metal end piece A taking
hold of the end of the bar like
a syringe.
- Insert the end piece A on one side
then lower it to fi x it in the base of
the notch B . Storing
When the bars are not in use:
- partially loosen the knurled wheels,
- lift the bar slightly,
- pivot it upwards by 180°,
- tighten the knurled wheels.
Good practice
In the event of a front impact, the rack
is disengaged to avoid injury to the
occupants of the vehicle. The slight
clearance observed in the bar is linked
with this safety disengagement.
Do not loosen or place the bars in a
position other than those described
above.
The load on the rack must rest on the
overhead storage compartment and
be strapped using the strap passages
provided on the bars.
The bars are not grab handles for the
passengers.
- Carry out the same operations
on the other side.
- Ensure that they are engaged correctly at the base of the notch.
- Tighten the knurled wheels and check the tightening by pushing
the bar sideways.
To remove, proceed in the reverse
order.
