Driving position
Correct seating 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.
Whether or not the vehicle has certain seat
adjustments described in this section depends
on the trim level and country of sale.
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 room (from the roof) should be at least
10 cm.
Adjust the longitudinal position of the seat so
that you can fully depress the pedals with legs
slightly flexed.
The distance between your 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 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.
Adjust the steering wheel so that it is at least 25
cm from your sternum and you can hold it with
your arms slightly bent.
The steering wheel should not hide the
instrument panel.
As 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

Sit fully back in the seat with your 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 your head.
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.
If your vehicle has electric door mirrors,
the ignition must be on to adjust them.
When driving
Maintain a good driving position and hold the
steering wheel with both hands at the 'quarter to
three' position, so that you can easily and quickly
reach the controls behind and near the steering
wheel.
Never adjust the seats or steering wheel
when driving.
Always keep your feet on the floor.
Front seats
Before moving the seat backwards,
ensure that there is no person or object
that might prevent the full travel of the seat.
There is a risk of trapping or pinching
passengers if present in the rear seats or of
jamming the seat if large objects are placed
on the floor behind the seat.

Manoeuvring the seat backrests should
only be done when the vehicle is

►


If necessary
, move the front seats forward.
►

Check that no person or object will interfere
with folding down the backrests (clothing,
luggage, etc.).
►


Check that the outer seat belts are lying flat
on the backrests.
►


Check that the centre seat belt buckle is
stored in its housing.
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.

Ease of use and comfort
Folding from the boot

When loading, for example, or from the third row
seats:
►
Pull strap
C to unlock the desired seat and
give the backrest a slight push forwards.
Repositioning the seat

► Place the continuity panels of the 2nd row
seats back against the backrests.
► Straighten the backrest until it locks.
Before performing any operations on the
rear seats, to avoid damage to the seat
belts, check that the lateral seat belts are
properly tensioned. The central seat belt must
be stored in the headlining.
Continuity panels

Each seat has a continuity panel at the bottom of
the backrest, which, once unfolded:
–

allows for a continuous loading surface in the
boot, whatever the position of the seats,
–


prevents objects from sliding beneath the 2nd
row seats.
The continuity panels are held against the
backrests with a magnetic fixing element.
These continuity panels are not designed to support a weight greater than 30 kg.
Before deploying the continuity panels,
check that the 2nd row seats are pulled as
far back as possible.
Accessing third row seats
The third row seats are accessed via the second
row side seats.


From the outside or from the third row seats:
► Check that the "aircraft" type tables of the
front seats are properly folded up.
►

Pull paddle D

and guide the backrest
forwards to tilt it and move the seat forwards.
To put the seat back in place:
►

Straighten the backrest until the seat locks.
Whatever the initial position of the seat, it is
placed automatically a third of the way along
the longitudinal adjustment range in order to
preserve enough space for passengers in the
third row seats.
If this system fails (paddle D), the third
row passengers can also get out after
having folded the backrest of the second row
seats using strap C.
Do not let children operate the seats
unsupervised.
Third row seats

The two third row seats are stored in a retracted
position in the bottom of the boot. Each one is
covered with rigid concertina panels, secured to
the vehicle.
Do not let children operate the seats
unsupervised.
Each concertina panel can support a
maximum load of 100 kg with the third
row seats folded away.
With the third row seats removed and the
removable concertina panels supports
installed, the maximum load is limited to
50 kg.

Storing the seats

► Straighten the continuity panels of the 2nd row
seats.
►

►

Pull red strap

F, located at the bottom of the
backrest.
The seat is unlocked.
►

Push the backrest slightly forwards.
The backrest tilts and folds back on the cushion;
the folded seat is stored at the back of its
storage area.
► Put the concertina panels back above the
folded seats.
Before doing anything to the 3rd row
seats, straighten the continuity panels of
the 2
nd row seats.
Do not try to fold back a seat in the 3rd row
without having opened it until the backrest is
fully locked.
Do not leave anything on or underneath the
3
rd row seats when they are being folded.

raised, take hold of each side of the seat
cushion, at the plastic covers, then bring the seat

air breathed by the occupants and keep the
passenger compartment clean (by reducing
allergic symptoms, unpleasant odours and
greasy deposits).
