To raise the headrest
Raise the headrest to its highest po-
sition (tilt the seatback backwards if 
necessary). Press button 1 and lift the 
headrest to release it.
To refit the headrest
Insert the headrest rods into the holes 
(tilt the seatback backwards if neces-
sary). Lower the headrest until it locks 
and press button  1 to adjust to the de-
sired height. Check that each rod  2 on 
the seatback is securely locked.
The headrest is important 
for safety. Ensure that it is in 
place and in the correct po-
sition: the top of the head-
rest should be as close as possible 
to the top of the head and there must 
be a minimal distance between the 
head and the headrest  A.

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 (1/4)
1
2
Incorrectly adjusted or 
twisted seat belts 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 the 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, i.e.: 
avoid wearing heavy clothing or keep-
ing bulky objects under the belts, etc.
Make sure that the rear bench seat 
is locked in position correctly so that 
the rear seat belts will operate effi-
ciently. Refer to the information on 
the “Rear bench seat: functions” in 
Section 3.

SEAT BELTS (2/4)
ßFront seat belt reminder 
warning light
This lights up on the central display 
when the engine is started then, if the 
driver’s or front passenger’s seat belt 
(if this seat is occupied) is not fastened 
and the vehicle has reached approxi-
mately 12 mph (20 km/h), it flashes and 
a bleep sounds for around 2 minutes.
Note: an object placed on the passen-
ger seat base may activate the warning 
light in some cases.
Rear seat belt reminder  (depending 
on vehicle)
the 
ß warning light on the cen-
tral display lights up accompanied by a 
message on the instrument panel indi-
cating the number of seat belts buck-
led for approximately 30 seconds each 
time:
–  the vehicle is started;
–  a door is opened;
–  a rear seat belt is fastened or unfas- tened.
Check that the rear passengers are 
wearing seat belts and that the number 
of seat belt shown as fastened corre-
sponds to the number of rear bench 
seat places occupied.Adjusting the height of the 
front seat belts
Press button  6 to adjust the seat belt 
height so that shoulder strap  1 is worn 
as shown previously. Press button  6 
and raise or lower the seat belt. Make 
sure that the seat belt is locked in posi-
tion correctly after you have adjusted it.
Unlocking
Press button  4 and the seat belt will be 
rewound by the inertia reel. Guide the 
belt.

Locking
Unwind the belt  slowly and smoothly  
and ensure that buckle  3 locks into 
catch 5 (check that it is locked by pull- ing on buckle  3).
If the belt jams, allow it to return slightly 
before attempting to unwind it again.
If your seat belt is completely jammed, 
pull slowly, but firmly, so that just over 
3 cm unwinds. Allow it to return slightly 
before attempting to unwind it again.
If there is still a problem, contact an ap-
proved dealer.

CHILD SAFETY: choosing a child seat
Rear-facing child seats
A baby’s head is, proportionally, heavier 
than that of an adult and its neck is very 
fragile. Transport the child in this po-
sition for as long as possible (until the 
age of 2 at the very least). It supports 
both the head and the neck.
Choose a bucket type seat for best side 
protection and change it as soon as the 
child’s head is higher than the shell.Forward-facing child seats
The child’s head and abdomen need to 
be protected as a priority. A forward-fac-
ing child seat which is firmly attached to 
the vehicle will reduce the risk of impact 
to the head. Ensure your child travels in 
a forward-facing seat with a harness for 
as long as their size permits.
Choose a bucket type seat for optimum 
side protection.Booster cushions
From 15 kg or 4 years, the child can 
travel using a booster seat, which will 
enable the seat belt to be adapted to 
suit his/her size and shape. The boos-
ter seat cushion must be fitted with 
guides to position the seat belt on the 
child’s thighs rather than the stomach. 
It is recommended that you use a seat-
back fitted with a belt strap guide which 
can be adjusted in terms of height to 
position the seat belt in the centre of the 
shoulder. It must never rest on the neck 
or on the arm.
Choose a bucket type seat for optimum 
side protection.

Power Assisted Steering
Never drive with an inadequately 
charged battery.
Variable power assisted 
steering
The variable power assisted steering 
system is equipped with an electronic 
control system which alters the level of 
assistance to suit the vehicle speed.
Steering is made easier during parking 
manoeuvres (for added comfort) whilst 
the force needed to steer increases 
progressively as the speed rises (for 
enhanced safety at high speeds).
Adjusting the steering wheel 
height and depth
Pull lever 1 and place the steering 
wheel in the required position; push the 
lever beyond the point of resistance to 
lock the steering wheel in place.
Make sure that the steering wheel is 
correctly locked.
For safety reasons, only 
adjust the steering wheel 
when the vehicle is station-
ary.
STEERING WHEEL/POWER-ASSISTED STEERING
1
Never switch off the igni-
tion when travelling down-
hill, and avoid doing so in 
normal driving (assistance 
is not provided).
With the engine switched off, or if 
there is a system fault, it is still pos-
sible to turn the steering wheel. The 
force required will be greater.
Never leave the steering wheel at 
full lock while stationary.
