To raise the headrestPull the headrest upwards to the de-
sired height.
To lower the headrestPress button 2 and guide the headrest 
down to the desired height.
To adjust the angle of the 
headrest
Depending on the vehicle, move sec-
tion A towards or away from you to the 
required position.
To adjust side supports  BDepending on the vehicle, sections  B 
can be adjusted independently to the 
desired position.
To remove the headrest
Raise it to its highest position (tilt the 
seatback backwards if necessary). 
Press button  1 on each rod  3 and lift it 
until it is released.
To refit the headrestPull out the headrest rods  3 as far as 
possible by pulling from the top. Take 
care to ensure they are clean and cor-
rectly aligned and, if there are any prob-
lems, check that the notches are facing

FRONT HEADRESTS
The headrest is an impor-
tant safety component: 
ensure that it is in place and 
in the correct position. The 
distance between your head and the 
headrest and the distance between 
the head and section  A should be 
as small as possible.

Heated seats(depending on vehicle)
With the engine running, turn control 6 
to either position  1,  2 or 3  (depending 
on the temperature required). The mes-
sage “Heated activated” will appear on 
the instrument panel once the front seat 
heating system is operating.
The system, which has a thermostat, 
decides whether or not the heating is 
needed, according to the position se-
lected.
FRONT SEATS WITH MANUAL CONTROL (2/2)
Table function
Depending on the vehicle, the passen-
ger seatback may be folded down onto 
the seat base to create a table.
Lower the headrest if necessary, tilt 
handle  5 and completely lower the 
seatback.

When the front seat is in 
table position, the front pas-
senger air bag must be dis-
abled (see information on 
“Activating/deactivating the front 
passenger air bag” in Section 1).
Risk of serious injury caused by 
items resting on the seatback table 
which may be dislodged when the 
air bag is deployed.
The label (on the dashboard) and 
the markings (on the windscreen) 
remind you of these instructions.
For your safety, attach any 
transported objects when 
the seat is in the table po-
sition.   

1.19
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 (1/3)
Make sure that the rear seats are 
locked in position properly so that 
the rear seat belts will operate effi-
ciently. Refer to the information on 
“rear seat functions” and “adjusting 
the rear seats” in Section 3.
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 depress 
the clutch pedal fully. 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.
Adjusting the seat belts
Sit with your back firmly against the 
seatback.
Shoulder strap  1 should be as close as 
possible to the base of the neck but not 
on it.
Lap belt  2 should be worn flat over the 
thighs and against the pelvis.
The belt should be worn so that it is 
as close as possible to your body, ie.: 
avoid wearing heavy clothing or keep-
ing bulky objects under the belts, etc.

CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat (1/11)
In the front seat
The laws concerning children travel-
ling in the front passenger seat differ in 
every country. Consult the legislation in 
force and follow the indications on the 
diagram on the following page.
Before fitting a child seat in this seat (if 
authorised):
–  lower the seat belt as far as possible;
–  move the seat as far back as possi-ble;
–  gently tilt the seatback away from  vertical (approximately 25°);
–  on equipped vehicles, raise the seat  base as far as possible.
Do not change these settings after the 
child seat is installed.
Some seats are not suitable for fitting 
child seats. The diagram on the follow-
ing page shows you how to attach a 
child seat.
The types of child seats indicated may 
not be available. Before using a differ-
ent child seat, check with the manufac-
turer that it can be fitted.
Fit the child seat in a rear 
seat wherever possible.
Check that when installing 
the child seat in the vehicle 
it is not at risk of coming loose from 
its base.
If you have to remove the headrest, 
check that it is correctly stored so 
that it does not come loose under 
harsh braking or impact.
Always attach the child seat to the 
vehicle even if it is not in use so that 
it does not come loose under harsh 
braking or impact.
RISK OF DEATH OR 
SERIOUS INJURY: before 
fitting a rear-facing child 
seat to this seat, check 
that the air bag has been deacti-
vated (refer to the information on 
“Child safety: deactivating/activat-
ing the front passenger air bag” in 
Section 1). 

1.36
CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat (2/11)
In the rear seat
A carrycot can be installed across the 
vehicle and will take up at least two 
seats. Position the child with his or her 
feet nearest the door.
Move the front seat as far forward as 
possible to install a rear-facing child 
seat, then move back the seat in front 
as far as it will go, although without al-
lowing it to come into contact with the 
child seat.
For the safety of the child in the for-
ward-facing seat, do not move the seat 
in front back past the middle of the 
runner, do not tilt the seatback too far 
(maximum of 25°) and move the seat 
backwards as far as possible.
Check that the child seat is resting 
against the back of the vehicle seat and 
that the headrest of the vehicle is not 
obstructing its use.
For 7-seater vehicles, the second row 
rear seats must be pushed forward 
before a child is seated in the third row 
rear seats.In the rear centre seat
Some child seats are too wide to allow 
access to the seat belt buckles. Check 
that your child seat can be fitted in this 
seat.
When fitting an ISOFIX child seat in 
this place, ensure that the two seat 
belt buckles are placed flat under the 
child seat, except in the case of booster 
seats attached to the ISOFIX locks, 
whose fitting is authorised
Ensure that the child seat 
or the child’s feet do not 
prevent the front seat from 
locking correctly. Refer to 
the information on the “Front seat” 
in Section 1 or “Rear seat operation” 
in Section 3.
The floor of your vehicle 
has storage spaces. Before 
installing a child seat with 
a floor support, ensure that 
this seat can be correctly installed 
by consulting the list of compatible 
vehicles supplied with the child seat.
Risk of serious injury in the event of 
sudden braking or accident.
When fitting a child seat 
(Group 2 or 3 booster seat), 
check that the seat belts op-
erate (wind) correctly: refer 
to Section 1 “Rear seat belts”. If 
necessary, adjust the position of the 
vehicle seat.
