clutch pedal fully.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught
under the pedal:
- ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,
- never fit one mat on top of another.
Avoid leaving your hand on the gear knob as
the force exerted, even if slight, may wear
the internal components of the gearbox over
time.

EASE OF USE AND COMFORT
Improved comfort
SOUNDPROOFING
Your vehicle benefits from a suspension
which contributes to improving general
comfort.
These developments also contribute to
reducing noise disturbance.
IMPROVED COMFORT
TREATMENT OF THE BODYWORK LEADING TO ACOUSTIC COMFORT
The underseal under the body, on the body
sills and on the wheel arches considerably
reduces noise and protects the body from
external attack. Your vehicle is treated by cataphoresis,
ensuring perfect protection against
corrosion. The anticorrosion warranty has a
duration of 6 years.
