ROOF FLAP (1/2)
Driving with the roof flap
open may be unpleasant
for passengers because
exhaust gas may enter the
passenger compartment. This use
is solely for short distances, or for
transporting bulky objects with-
out having to open the rear doors. In
this case, close the other windows
and operate the ventilation system
at the half or fully open setting ,
as this will help to prevent exhaust
fumes from entering the passenger
compartment.
123
Transverse bar
When loading bulky objects, the trans-
verse bar may be moved:
– Press the handle 3;
– lift the bar all the way to the door pillar;
– lock the bar after loading.
To open:
– Unlock the control 2, the roof flap lifts
automatically (make sure that noth-
ing prevents the flap from opening.
In this case, use the handle 1 to help
raise it);
– when the roof flap is open, it must be locked by pushing it towards the
front of the vehicle until the control 2
locks.
Important: It is prohibited to drive with
the roof flap open and unlocked. Note: When driving with the roof flap
open, you may hear wind noise. To
reduce these, open one of the side win-
dows slightly.

1.32
ROOF FLAP (2/2)
Before starting, always reposition
the transverse bar and ensure it is
correctly locked.
The rear hinged doors can only be
closed with the bar locked.
Remember that the overall vehicle
dimensions may change when you
are transporting bulky objects.

sition the seatback horizontally. To
make the manoeuvre easier, rotate
the headrest 2 ; – Pivot the moving section 90 degrees,

section in its original position, check
that locking point 4 is clean.

The swivelling section must
always be locked when the
vehicle is driven. Risk of

Always wear your seat belt when trav-
elling in your vehicle. You must also
comply with the legislation of the par-
ticular country you are in.
Seat belts which are incor-
rectly adjusted or twisted
may cause injuries in the
event of an accident.
Use one seat belt per person,
whether child or adult.
Even pregnant women should wear
a seat belt. In this case, ensure that
the lap belt is not exerting too much
pressure on the abdomen, but do
not allow any slack.
Before starting, first adjust your driv-
ing position, then ask all occupants
to adjust their seat belts to ensure
optimum protection.
Adjusting your driving
position
– Sit well back in your seat (having
first removed your coat or jacket).
This is essential to ensure your back
is positioned correctly;
– Adjust the distance between the seat and the pedals. Your seat
should be as far back as possible
while still allowing you to fully de-
press the pedals. The seatback
should be adjusted so that your arms
are slightly bent when you hold the
steering wheel;
– adjust the position of your head- rest. For maximum safety, your head
must be as close as possible to the
headrest;
– adjust the height of the seat. This
adjustment allows you to select the
seat position which offers you the
best possible view;
– adjust the position of the steering
wheel.
Make sure that the rear bench seat
is securely locked in position so that
the rear seat belts will operate effi-
ciently. Refer to the information on
the “Rear bench seat: functions” in
Section 3.
