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;
–  move the seat back;
–  Lift the lever 3 and tilt the seatback 
forwards as far as possible;
–  pull the handle  7 and fully lower the 
seatback.
FRONT SEATS WITH MANUAL CONTROL (2/2)
When the front seat is in 
table position, the front pas-
senger air bag must be dis-
abled (see information on 
“Child safety: activating/deactivat-
ing 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.
When using the passenger seat in table 
position, you must not use the two rear 
seats immediately behind it.Repositioning the seat
Make sure that nothing prevents the 
seat from moving.
–  Pull the handle  7 and raise the seat-
back, ensuring that it locks firmly in 
place.
–  Reposition the seat base.
Be sure to hold the seat-
back when placing it in the 
flat position. Risk of injury.
For safety reasons, carry 
out any adjustments when 
the vehicle is not being 
driven.

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.
Airbags 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 monito- ring which controls the gas generator 
electrical trigger system;
– a single 
å warning light on the 
instrument panel.
METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (2/4)
A
The air bag system uses 
pyrotechnic principles. This 
explains why, when the air 
bag inflates, it will generate 
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 re-
quired, it will inflate immediately and 
this may cause some minor, superfi-
cial grazing to the skin or other pro-
blems.

Operating faults
This warning light å will light up on 
the instrument panel when the ignition 
is switched on and then go out after a 
few seconds.
If it does not light up when the ignition 
is switched on, or comes on when the 
engine is running, there is a fault in the 
system.
Contact your approved Dealer as soon 
as possible. Your protection will be re-
duced until this fault is rectified.
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.

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).
–  When driving, do not sit too close to the steering wheel. Sit with your \
arms 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 be fully effective.
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 occur. In  general, parts of the body should be kept away from the dashboard (knee\
s, 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: fitting a child seat, general information (1/2)
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.
In all situations, reinsert the headrest to 
its full extent so that it does not interfere 
with the child seat (see the information 
on “Front headrests” in Section 1);
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).
After installing the child seat, if neces-
sary, the seat may be advanced (so as 
to leave enough space in the rear seats 
for passengers or other child seats). 
For a rear-facing child seat, do not let 
it touch the dashboard or move it to the 
furthest forward position.
Do not change other settings after in-
stalling the child seat.

DANGER
Since operation of the front 
passenger airbag is not 
compatible with the position 
of a rear-facing child seat,  NEVER 
fit a restraint system for a rear-fac-
ing child in a seat protected by an 
ACTIVATED front AIRBAG . This 
can cause the CHILD’S  DEATH or 
SERIOUS INJURY.
The markings on the dashboard and 
labels  A on each side of passenger sun 
blind  3 (example: label shown above) 
remind you of these instructions.

Air recirculation is for:
–  isolating the vehicle from the exter-nal atmosphere (driving in polluted 
areas, etc.);
–  lowering the passenger compart- ment temperature as quickly as pos-
sible.Switching the air 
recirculation on
Press the button 2: the warning light  B 
comes on. In these conditions, air is 
taken from the passenger compartment 
and is recycled, with no air being taken 
from outside the vehicle.
MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING (2/3)
Prolonged use of air recirculation can lead to condensation forming on t\
he side 
windows and windscreen, and discomfort due to the use of non-renewed air\
 in 
the passenger compartment. We therefore advise you to return to normal mode 
(external air) as soon as the air recirculation function is no longer \
required, by 
pressing the button  6 again.
Distribution of air in the 
passenger compartment
There are five air distribution options. 
Turn control 8 to choose the distribution 
option.
The air distribution is displayed on the 
indicator D.
õThe air flow is directed to the 
windscreen and the front side 
window demisting vents.
÷The 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.
JAll the air flow is directed to the 
dashboard vents.
