from the inside.
Driver’s responsibility 
when parking or stopping 
the vehicle
Never leave an animal, 
child or adult who is not self-suffi-
cient alone on your vehicle, even for 
a short time.
They may pose a risk to themselves 
or to others by starting the engine, 
activating equipment such as the 
electric windows or locking the 
doors.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather, 
please remember that the tempera-
ture inside the passenger compart-
ment increases very quickly.

AUTOMATIC LOCKING WHEN DRIVING
Operating principleAfter the vehicle is started, the system 
automatically locks the doors when you 
are driving at approximately 6 mph 
(10 km/h) and over.
The door can be unlocked:
–  by pressing central door unlocking 
switch 2.
–  at a standstill, by opening a front 
door from inside the vehicle.
Note: if a door is opened or closed, it 
will automatically lock again when the 
vehicle reaches a speed of 6 mph 
(10 km/h).
Activating/deactivating the 
function
To switch it on: with the vehicle at a 
standstill and the engine running, press 
switch 2 until a beep sounds.
To deactivate: with the vehicle at a 
standstill and the engine running, press 
switch 2 until two beeps sound.
You can also activate/deactivate the 
function from the menu on the multi-
function screen  1 (refer to the informa-
tion on the “Vehicle settings customisa-
tion menu” section 1, “Auto door locking 
while driving” function).
Operating faults
If you experience an operating fault (no 
automatic locking, the indicator light in-
corporated in switch  2 does not light up 
when trying to lock the doors and boot, 
etc.), make sure that locking has not 
been deactivated by mistake and check 
that the doors and boot are properly 
closed. If they are correctly locked and 
the fault is still present, contact an au-
thorised dealer.

Driver’s responsibility
If you decide to keep the 
doors locked when you are 
driving, remember that it 
may be more difficult for those as-
sisting you to gain access to the 
passenger compartment in the 
event of an emergency.

To tilt the seatback
Lift handle  3 and tilt the seatback to the 
desired position. Release the handle at 
the desired position and make sure that 
it is locked.
To adjust the seat’s lumbar position
Depending on the vehicle:

ary.
We would advise you not to recline 
the seatbacks too far to ensure that 
the effectiveness of the seat belts is 
not reduced.
Nothing should be placed on the 
floor (area in front of driver) as such 
objects may slide under the pedal 
during braking manoeuvres, thus 
obstructing its use.

SEAT BELTS (2/4)
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.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (1/4)
Depending on the vehicle, they are 
composed of:
–  seat belt inertia reel pretension-ers;
–  central seat belt pretensioners;
–  chest-level load limiter;
–  air bags for driver and front pas- senger.
These systems are designed to act in-
dependently or together when the vehi-
cle is subjected to a frontal impact.
Depending on the severity of the 
impact, the system can trigger:
–  seat belt locking;
–  the seat belt inertia reel pretensioner  (which engages to correct seat belt 
slack);
–  the lap belt pretensioners to hold the  occupant in his seat;
–  the front airbag.
Pretensioners
The pretensioners hold the seat belt 
against the body, holding the occupant 
more securely against the seat, thus in-
creasing the seat belt’s efficiency.
In the event of a severe frontal impact 
and if the ignition is switched on, the 
system may engage the following de-
pending on the force of the impact:
–  the seat belt inertia reel preten- sioner  1 which instantly retracts the 
seat belt;
–  the lap pretensioner  2 on the front 
seats.
–   Have the entire restraint 
system checked following 
an accident.
– No operation whatso-
ever is permitted on any part of 
the system (pretensioners, air 
bags, computers, wiring) and the 
system components must not 
be reused on any other vehicle, 
even if identical.
–  To avoid incorrect triggering of  the system which may cause 
injury, only qualified personnel 
from an approved Dealer may 
work on the pretensioner and air 
bag system.
–  The electric trigger system may  only be tested by a specially 
trained technician using special 
equipment.
–  When the vehicle is scrapped,  contact an approved Dealer for 
disposal of the pretensioner and 
air bag gas generators.

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.
