Driving position
Adopting a good driving position helps improve
your comfort and protection.
It also optimises interior and exterior visibility
as well as access to controls.
Sitting comfortably
Whether or not your vehicle has certain seat
adjustments described in this section depends
on the trim level and country of sale.
Driver’s sideAs a safety precaution, adjust the seats
only when the vehicle is stationary.
If your vehicle has electric seats, the
ignition must be on to adjust them.
Passenger’s side
Before moving off
Adjust the interior and exterior door mirrors to
reduce blind spots.
Fasten your seat belt: place the diagonal belt in
the middle of your shoulder and adjust the lap
belt so that it is tightened across your pelvis.
Ensure that all passengers have fastened their
seat belts correctly.
Follow these recommendations as much as
your height permits...
Sit fully back in the seat with your pelvis, back
and shoulders in contact with the seat backrest.
The seat cushion height should be set so
your eyes are looking at the centre of the
windscreen. Adjust the longitudinal position of the seat so
you can fully press the pedals with legs slightly
flexed.
Adjust the head restraint so that its upper edge
is level with the top of your head.
Adjust the length of the seat cushion to support
your thighs.
Adjust the lumbar support so that it conforms to
the shape of your spine.

Mirrors
Door mirrors
Each fitted with an adjustable mirror glass
providing the lateral rear ward vision necessary
for overtaking or parking.
They can also be folded for parking in narrow

Children at the rear
At rear seating positions, always leave
sufficient space between the front seat
and:
-
a "
rear ward facing" child seat,
-

t
he child's feet for a child seat fitted
"forward facing".
To do this, move the front seat for wards
and, if necessary, straighten its backrest.
For optimal installation of the "forward
facing" child seat, verify that its backrest is
as close as possible to the backrest of the
vehicle seat, if possible in contact with it.
Children at the front
The legislation on carrying children on the
front passenger seat is specific to each
country. Refer to the legislation in force in
the country in which you are driving.
Deactivate the front passenger airbag
when a "rear ward facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seats.
Other wise, there is a risk of serious or
fatal injury to the child if the airbag is
deployed. Installing a booster seat (height adjuster)
The chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child's shoulder without
touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child's thighs.
We recommend using a booster seat with
a backrest, equipped with a belt guide at
shoulder level.
Additional protections
To prevent accidental opening of the doors
and rear windows, use the child lock.
Take care not to open the rear windows by
more than one third.
To protect young children from the rays
of the sun, fit side blinds on the rear
windows.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
-

a c
hild or children alone and
unattended in a vehicle,
-

a c
hild or an animal in a vehicle
which is exposed to the sun, with the
windows closed,
-

t
he keys within reach of children inside
the vehicle.Child seat at the rear
"Rearward facing"
When a "rear ward facing" child seat is installed
on a rear passenger seat , move the vehicle's
front seat for ward and straighten the backrest
so that the "rear ward facing" child seat does
not touch the vehicle's front seat.
"Forward facing"
When a "for ward facing" child seat is installed
on a rear passenger seat , move the vehicle's
front seat for ward and straighten the backrest
so that the legs of the child in the "for ward
facing" child seat do not touch the vehicle's
front seat.

Safety

170
After three first level alerts, the system triggers
a new alert with the message "Take a break!",
accompanied by a more pronounced audible
signal. When the system interprets the behaviour of
the vehicle as indicating a certain fatigue or
inattention threshold on the part of the driver,
it triggers the first level of alert.
The driver is then alerted by the message
" Ta k e c a r e ! ", accompanied by an audible
signal.
Active Blind Spot
Monitoring System
In addition to the fixed warning lamp in the door
mirror on the side in question, a correction of
trajectory will be felt if you attempt to cross a
lane marking with the direction indicators on,
to
help you avoid a collision.
This system is the combination of the Active
Lane Keeping Assistance and Blind Spot
Detection.
These two functions must be activated and in
operation.
The speed of the vehicle must be between
40
and 87 mph (65 and 140 km/h) inclusive.
These functions are especially suitable for
driving on motor ways and main roads.
For more information on the Active Lane
Keeping Assistance and Blind Spot
Detection , refer to the corresponding sections.
This system is a driving aid which cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
In certain driving conditions (poor road
sur face or strong winds), the system may
give alerts independent of the driver's
level of vigilance. The following situations may interfere with
the operation of the system or prevent it
from working:
-
p
oor visibility (inadequate lighting of
the roadway, falling snow, heavy rain,
dense fog, etc.),
-

d

azzle (headlamps of an oncoming
vehicle, low sun, reflections on a damp
road, leaving a tunnel, alternating
shade and light, etc.),
-

w

indscreen area located in front of the
camera: dirty, misted up, frost-covered,
snow-covered, damaged or covered by
a s t i c ke r,
-
l

ane markings absent, worn, hidden
(snow, mud) or multiple (roadworks,
e t c .),
-

c

lose to the vehicle ahead (lane
markings not detected),
-

r

oads that are narrow, winding, etc.
Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the camera.
The internal sur face of the windscreen can
also become misted around the camera.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could
conceal the detection camera.

Active Lane Keeping
Assistance
Using a camera located at the top of the
windscreen to identify lane markings on the
ground and the edges of the road (depending
on version), the system corrects the trajectory
of the vehicle while alerting the driver if it
detects a risk of involuntarily crossing a line or
hard shoulder (depending on version).
This system is particularly useful on motor ways
and main roads.
Conditions for operation
The speed of the vehicle must be between
40 mph and 112 mph (65 km/h and 180 km/h).
The driver must hold the steering wheel with
both hands.
The change of trajectory must not be
accompanied by operation of the direction
indicators.
The ESC system must be activated and fault-
free. This system is a driving aid that cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the
driver’s own vigilance. The driver must
remain in control of the vehicle under all
circumstances.
The system helps the driver only when
there is a risk of the vehicle involuntarily
wandering from the lane it is being driven
in. It does not manage the safe driving
distance, the speed of the vehicle or the
brakes.
The driver must hold the steering wheel
with both hands in a way that allows
control to be maintained in circumstances
where the system is not able to inter vene
(if lane markings disappear, for example).
It is necessary to obser ve the driving
regulations and take a break every two
hours.
Operation
Once the system identifies a risk of the vehicle
involuntarily crossing one of the lane markings
detected on the ground or a lane limit (e.g.
grass border), it makes the correction to the
trajectory necessary to return the vehicle to its
initial path.
The driver will notice a turning movement of the
steering wheel.
This warning lamp flashes during
trajectory correction. If the driver wishes to maintain the
trajectory of the vehicle, they can prevent
the correction by keeping a firm grip on
the wheel (during an avoiding manoeuvre,
for example).
The correction is interrupted if the
direction indicators are operated.
While the direction indicators are on and for
a few seconds after switching them off, the
system considers that any change of trajectory
is voluntary and no correction is triggered
during this period.
However, with the Blind Spot Detection
activated, if the driver starts changing lanes
and another vehicle is detected in the vehicle's
blind spot, the system will correct the trajectory
of the vehicle even though the direction
indicators are on.
For more information on the Blind Spot
Detection , refer to the corresponding section.
