Ease of use and comfort03
Driving position
Correct seating position
Adopting a good driving position contributes to
improving driver comfort and protection.
It also optimises interior and exterior visibility as
well as access to controls.
Certain seat adjustments described in this
section depend on the trim level and the country
in which the vehicle is sold.
Driver’s side

Sit fully back in the seat with your pelvis, back
and shoulders in contact with the seat backrest.
Adjust the seat cushion height so that your eyes
are level with the centre of the windscreen.
The head should be at a minimum distance of
10 cm from the roof.
Adjust the longitudinal position of the seat so that
you can fully depress the pedals with legs slightly
flexed.
The distance between the knees and the
dashboard should be at least 10 cm, for easy
access to the dashboard controls.
Adjust the backrest angle to as vertical a position
as possible; never tilt it more than 25°.
Adjust the head restraint so that its upper edge is
level with the top of the head.
Adjust the length of the seat cushion to support
your thighs.
Adjust the lumbar support so that it conforms to
the shape of the spine.
Adjust the steering wheel reach so that it is at
least 25 cm from the sternum and you can hold it
with your arms slightly bent.
Adjust the steering wheel height so that it does
not obstruct the information displayed on the
instrument panel.
As a safety precaution, adjust the seats
only when the vehicle is stationary.
Electrically-adjustable seats
Switch the ignition on to enable the
adjustments to be made.
Passenger’s side

Sit fully back in the seat with the pelvis, back and
shoulders in contact with the seat backrest.
Adjust the longitudinal position of the seat so that
you are at a distance of at least 25 cm from the
dashboard.
Adjust the head restraint so that its upper edge is
level with the top of the head.
Before moving off
Adjust the interior and exterior door mirrors to
reduce blind spots.
Fasten the seat belt: place the diagonal belt in the
middle of the shoulder and adjust the lap belt so
that it is tightened across the pelvis.
Ensure that all passengers have fastened their
seat belts correctly.
Electric door mirrors
Switch the ignition on to enable the
adjustments to be made.

Ease of use and comfort03
►  Check that no person or object might interfere
with the folding of the backrests (e.g. clothing,
luggage).
►  Check that the outer seat belts are lying flat
on the backrests.
The folding of the backrest is
accompanied by a slight lowering of the
corresponding cushion.
To obtain a flat surface, it is necessary to place
the adjustable boot floor in the high position.
When the backrest is released, the red
indicator in the release grip is visible.
Folding from the passenger compartment

►  Press the backrest release grip 1.
►  Guide the backrest 3 down to the horizontal
position.
Folding from the boot

►  Pull the backrest release lever 2 towards you.
The backrest 3 folds fully onto the cushion.
Repositioning the backrests
First check that the outer seat belts are
lying vertically flat alongside the backrest
latching rings.


►  Straighten the backrest 3 and push it firmly to
latch it into place.
►  Check that the red indicator is no longer
visible in the release grip 1.
►  Ensure that the outer seat belts were not
trapped during the operation.
Please note: an incorrectly latched
backrest compromises the safety of
passengers in the event of sudden braking or
an accident.
The contents of the boot may be thrown
forwards - risk of serious injury!
Heating and Ventilation
Air intake
The air circulating in the passenger compartment
is filtered and originates either from the
exterior, via the grille located at the base of the
windscreen, or from the inside in air recirculation
mode.
Controls
The controls are accessible through the
Climate touch screen application and are
also grouped together on the centre console
panel.
