Foldaway position 
  Raise the yellow lever located at the 
base of the seat to release and raise 
the entire seat to the foldaway position 
(seat cushion raised against the seat 
back) until it locks. 
  This position allows tall loads to be 
carried in the cab part. 
  To return the seat to the sitting position, 
push the yellow lever located under the 
seat cushion and lower the entire seat 
until it is upright and locked on the fl oor 
in the seat position.  
  
 
Outer seat 
 
The back of the outer seat has a metal 
shell.    
Fully folded position 
  Pull the tab located on the upper edge 
of the seat by the head restraint to tilt 
and guide the entire seat. 
  It inserts itself into the fl oor in the front 
seat position and so forms a continuous 
fl at fl oor with the load space. 
  This position allows long loads to 
be carried inside the vehicle, up to 
3 m (3.25 m in the case of the long 
versions) with the doors closed. 
  In the fully folded position, the 
maximum weight on the seat back is 
50 Kg. 
  To return the seat to the sitting position, 
raise the seat back until it locks on the 
fl oor in the seat position.

Overhead storage unit 
 
This is located above the sun visors 
and can accommodate various objects 
(a jumper, fi le, gloves...). 
  The openings concealed by the sun 
visors allow you to see and access the 
objects stored in the overhead storage 
unit. 
  The maximum weight permitted in the 
overhead storage unit is 5 Kg. 
  Do not place objects in this storage 
unit which could present a risk to the 
occupants.  
 
 
Central storage console 
 
This console offers an appreciable 
additional storage area: it can be 
removed and clips onto a base which 
also incorporates two cup holders at 
the rear. 
  Ensure that the object (bottle, can...) 
placed in the cup holder is retained 
securely and does not risk being 
dislodged while driving. 
  Any liquid which could spill presents 
a risk of damage on contact with the 
instrument panel and centre console 
controls. 
  Take care.  
 
 
Sun visor 
 
To prevent dazzle from ahead, fold the 
sun visor down. 
  A pocket is provided in the driver's sun 
visor for storing toll cards, tickets, ...  
 
 
Storage compartments under 
seats 
  Storage compartments may be 
provided in the fl oor under the front 
seats. 
  The tools are stored under the right-
hand seat. Move the seat forward 
for easier access to the storage 
compartment.

 CREW CAB
   
Bench seat 
 
The crew cab consists of a 3-seat 
bench, located in row 2, the one-piece 
back of which is in unit 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 outer seats are secured to the 
body, whereas the seat belt of the 
centre seat is secured to 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 properly 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 
.

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 in place 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 the tilting movement using 
your free arm. 
  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 the assembly 
vertically, guiding the movement to 
the fully folded position.  
  The raised seat rests against the backs 
of the seats of row 1.
