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.
65
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.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (2/4)
Load limiter
Above a certain severity of impact, this 
mechanism is used to limit the force of 
the belt against the body so that it is at 
an acceptable level.
Air bags for driver and front 
passenger
Fitted to the driver and passenger side.
The presence of this equipment is in-
dicated by the word “Air bag” on the 
steering wheel and dashboard (air bag 
zone A) and, depending on the vehicle, 
a symbol on the lower section of the 
windscreen.
Each air bag system consists of:
–  an air bag and gas generator fitted  on the steering wheel for the driver 
and in the dashboard for the front 
passenger;
–  an electronic unit for system monitor- ing which controls the gas generator 
electrical trigger system;
– remote sensors;
–  a single warning light 
å on the 
instrument panel.
A
The air bag system uses 
pyrotechnic principles. This 
explains why, when the air 
bag inflates, it will gener-
ate heat, produce smoke (this does 
not mean that a fire is about to start) 
and make a noise upon detonation. 
In a situation where an air bag is 
required, it will inflate immediately 
and this may cause some minor, su-
perficial grazing to the skin or other 
problems.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (3/4)
Operation
This system is only operational when 
the ignition is switched on.
In a severe frontal impact, the air bags 
inflate rapidly, cushioning the impact 
of the driver’s head and chest against 
the steering wheel and of the front pas-
senger against the dashboard. The air 
bags then deflate immediately so that 
the passengers are not in any way hin-
dered from leaving the vehicle.
Special feature of the front air 
bag
After a violent impact, it has two deploy-
ment volumes and integrates a ventila-
tion system:
–  low volume air bag, this is the first  stage of operation;
–  large volume air bag, the air bag  seams rip so that a larger volume of 
gas is released into the bag (for the 
most severe impacts).

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (4/4)
Warnings concerning the driver’s air bag
– Do not modify the steering wheel or the steering wheel boss.
– Do not cover the steering wheel boss under any circumstances.
–  Do not attach any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the steering wheel boss.
–  The steering wheel must not be removed (except by qualified personnel f\
rom our Network).
–  Do not sit too close to the steering wheel when driving: Sit with your a\
rms slightly bent (see the information on “Adjusting  your driving position” in Section 1). This will allow sufficient space for the air bag to deploy correctly and to be fully effe ctive.
Warnings concerning the passenger air bag
–  Do not attach or glue any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder\
, etc.) to the dashboard on or near the air bag.
–  Do not place anything between the dashboard and the passenger (pet, umb\
rella, walking stick, parcels, etc.).
–  The passenger must not put his or her feet on the dashboard or seat as t\
here is a risk that serious injuries may be sustained . 
In general, parts of the body should be kept away from the dashboard (k\
nees, hands, head, etc.)
–  The devices in addition to the front passenger seat belt should be react\
ivated as soon as a child seat is removed, to ensure  the protection of the passenger in the event of an impact.
A REAR-FACING CHILD SEAT MUST NOT BE FITTED TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNLESS THE ADDITIONAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS, I.E. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG, ARE DEACTIVATED.
(refer to the information on “Child safety: deactivating/activating \
the front passenger air bag” in Section 1)
All of the warnings below are given so that the air bag is not obstructe\
d in any way when it is inflated and also to prevent 
the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when\
 the air bag inflates.

CHILD SAFETY: deactivating/activating the front passenger airbag (2/3)
B
DANGER
Since front passenger 
airbag triggering and the 
position of a rear-facing 
child seat are incompatible,  NEVER 
use a restraining device for rear-
facing children on a seat with an 
ACTIVATED AIRBAG in front of it. 
This provides a risk of DEATH or 
SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD.
The markings on the dashboard and 
labels  B on each side of the passen-
ger sun visor 2 (for example, the labels 
shown above) will remind you of these 
instructions.

6 Air recirculation.
Switching air conditioning on 
or off
The air conditioning is switched on (in-
dicator light on) or off (indicator light off) 
using button  3.
The air conditioning system is used 
for:
–  lowering the temperature inside the 
passenger compartment;
– eliminating condensation more  quickly.
Distribution of air in the 
passenger compartment
There are five air distribution options. 
Turn control  4 to choose the distribution 
option.
WThe air flow is directed to the 
windscreen and the front side 
window demisting vents.
iThe air flow is distributed be-
tween all the air vents, the 
front side window demisting vents, the 
windscreen demisting vents and the 
footwells.
óThe air flow is directed mainly 
towards the footwells.
GThe air flow is directed towards 
the dashboard air vents, the 
front footwells and, depending on the 
vehicle, the second row footwells.
JThe air flow is directed towards 
the dashboard air vents and, 
depending on the vehicle, the second 
row air vents.

The displayed temperature values 
show a comfort level.
When starting the engine, increas-
ing or decreasing the value dis-
played will not allow the com-
fort level to be reached any more 
quickly. The system will always op-
timise the temperature increase or 
decrease (the ventilation system 
does not start instantly at maximum 
speed: it gradually increases). This 
may take several minutes.
Generally speaking, unless there is 
a particular reason not to, the dash-
board air vents should remain open.
You are recommended to use automatic mode by selecting one of the auto-
matic programmes AUTO, SOFT or FAST.
In automatic mode (indicator light for button 3 on), all heating and air conditioning 
functions are controlled by the system.
You can also change the system selection. In this case, the indicator lig\
ht on the 
button  3 will go out and the changed function, which is no longer controlled by \
the 
system, will be shown on the display  12.
To return to automatic mode, press one of the  AUTO, SOFT or FAST programmes.
AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (3/5)
Switching air conditioning on 
or off
