Information system
Current fuel consumption
Current fuel consumption is indicated on the
display in litres/100 km (miles) 1)
. You can
adapt your driving style to the required con-
sumption with the assistance of this indica-
tor.
The consumption is displayed in litres per
hour while the vehicle is stopped or at idling
speed 2)
.
Average fuel consumption
The display shows the average fuel consump-
tion in litres/100 km 1)
calculated since the
memory was last reset ››› page 39.
If you wish to measure the average fuel con-
sumption for a specific period, the memory
must first be deleted ››› page 40. While driv-
ing the first 300 m after deleting the memory
this value is not shown on the display.
The value is updated regularly while the vehi-
cle is in motion.
Operating range
The approximate operating range is indicated
in kilometres (miles) on the display. It shows how far the vehicle can travel with the availa-
ble fuel using the same driving conditions as
a reference.
The operating range is calculated in sections
of 10 kilometres (miles). When the fuel
gauge enters the reserve zone, the operating
range is displayed in steps of 5 kilometres.
The operating range is calculated based on
the fuel consumption during the last 50 kilo-
metres (miles). The operating range increa-
ses when driving in a more economical man-
ner.
When the memory is reset (after disconnect-
ing the battery), the operating range is calcu-
lated with a 10 litres per 100 km consump-
tion and adjusts to represent the current driv-
ing style.
Distance
The display shows the distance you have cov-
ered since the memory was last reset
››› page 39 . If you wish to measure the dura-
tion of a j
ourney from a specific moment, the
memory must be deleted ››› page 40.
The maximum value for both memories is
1999 km (miles), or 9999 km (miles) in vehi- cles fitted with an informative display. The
memory is reset if this value is exceeded.
Average speed
The display shows the average speed in
km/h (mph) calculated from the last time the
memory was reset
››› page 39. If you wish to
mea

sure the average speed for a specific pe-
riod, the memory must first be deleted
››› page 40.

Seats and head restraints
Folding the rear backrest Fig. 63
Unlocking the backrest. Folding
– Before folding the rear seats, adjust the po-
sition of the front seats so that the rear
seats are not damaged. When the front
seats are adjusted to the rear position,
their head restraints should be removed
before folding the backrests on the rear
seats. Store the removed head restraints in such a way that they cannot be soiled or
damaged.
– Insert the seat belt latch plate into hole A ›››
Fig. 63 located on the corresponding
s ide of
the vehicle – safety position.
– Press the lock button B to unlock the
backrest and fold it forward.
Returning to the initial position
– Where the head restraint has been re-
moved, insert it into the backrest when par-
tially raised.
– Push the backrest backwards to its original
position until the lock button engages –
check that it is locked by pulling on the
backrest ››› .
– Make sure the red protruding part C is not
visible. WARNING
● Once the backrests have been lifted, the
seat belts and their buckles must be in their
initial position – ready for use.
● The backrests must be safely locked to en-
sure any items in the boot cannot move
around the interior of the vehicle in the event
of a sudden braking manoeuvre. Risk of inju-
ries!
● Make sure the rear backrests are correctly
locked. Only then will the three-point auto-
matic seat belt on the rear central seat work
correctly. CAUTION
