Ease of use and comfort
3Driving 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 side

Follow these recommendations as much as your
height and body shape permit...
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.
Adjust the longitudinal position of the seat so
that you can fully depress 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.
Adjust the steering wheel so that 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.

Ease of use and comfort
3From the front seat:► Press this button; its green indicator
lamp comes on.
The settings page is displayed on the touch
screen with the last memorised settings.
If the settings suit you and you make no
changes, the display returns to its previous state,
and the function activates immediately
.
Seats must be adjusted one after another,
starting with the driver's seat.
To modify the settings:
►

Begin with the driver
’s seat.
►

Select a massage intensity from the three
levels offered: " 1

" (Low), "2" (Normal) or "3"
(High).
►

Select another type of massage from the
ones offered.
►


W

ait for the driver's seat settings page to
disappear.
►

Next, proceed with the passenger's seat in
the same way

.
The changes are applied immediately.
Once activated, the system starts a one hour
massage cycle, made up of sequences of 6
minutes of massage followed by 3 minutes at
rest.
The system automatically stops at the end of the
cycle; the indicator lamp for the button goes off.Steering wheel
adjustment


► When stationary , pull the control to release
the steering wheel.
►

Adjust the height and reach to suit your
driving position.
►


Push the control lever to lock the steering
wheel.
As a safety measure, these adjustments must only be carried out with the vehicle
stationary.
Mirrors
Door mirrors
On versions fitted with ‘electrochrome’ mirrors,
a system connected to a brightness sensor
darkens the mirror to reduce the nuisance to the
driver caused by low sun or headlamp beams
from other vehicles.
As a safety measure, the mirrors should be adjusted to reduce the "blind spots".
The objects that you see in the mirrors are
in fact closer than they appear. Take this
into account in order to correctly judge the
distance of vehicles approaching from behind.
Demisting/Defrosting
If the vehicle is so equipped, demisting/
defrosting of the heated door mirrors is
performed when the heated rear screen is
switched on.
For more information on Rear screen
demisting/defrosting , refer to the
corresponding section.
Adjustment

► Move control A to the right or to the left to
select the corresponding mirror.
►

Move control
B in any of the four directions
to adjust.

the speed
With a manual gearbox, your speed must be
between 19 and 112 mph (30 and 180 km/h).
With an automatic EAT6 gearbox, your speed
must be between 1 and 112
mph (2 and
180
km/h).
With an automatic EAT8 gearbox, your speed
must be between 0 and 112
mph (0 and
180
km/h).
►

Press button
2 or 3: the current speed
becomes the speed setting (minimum 19 mph
(30
km/h)) and cruise control is immediately
activated (green display).
►

Press
3 to increase or 2 to decrease the
speed setting (steps of 5
mph (km/h) if held
pressed).
Pressing and holding button 2 or
3 results in a rapid change in the speed
of the vehicle.
Pausing / resumption of cruise control
► Press 4 or depress the brake pedal. To
pause cruise control, it is also possible to: •

shift from mode
D to N;
•

depress the clutch pedal for more than 10
seconds;
•


press the electric parking brake control.
►


Press
4 to restart cruise control. Cruise
control may have been paused automatically: •

when
the speed of the vehicle goes below 19
mph (30
km/h) with a manual gearbox.
• when the speed of the engine goes below
1 100 rpm with a manual gearbox.
•

by triggering of the ESC system.
With an EA

T6 gearbox, following braking that
has brought the vehicle to a complete stop,
the system holds the vehicle stationary; cruise
control is paused. The driver should depress
the accelerator pedal to move off, then, when
above 1 mph (2
km/h), reactivate the system by
pressing one of the buttons 2, 3 or 4.
With an EAT8 gearbox, following braking that
has brought the vehicle to a complete stop, if the
traffic conditions do not allow the vehicle to begin
moving again within 3
seconds of stopping,
press button 4 or the accelerator pedal to move
off.
If the driver takes no action after the vehicle
has been stopped, the electric parking brake is
applied automatically after about 5 minutes.
Cruise control remains active after
changing gear, regardless of the gearbox
type.
When the driver attempts to reactivate
cruise control, after the function has been
paused, the message "Activation not possible,
unsuitable conditions" is briefly displayed if
reactivation is not possible (safety conditions
not met).

(orange)/(green)
"Take control of the vehicle." –

If, while correcting the trajectory
, the system detects
that the driver has not held the steering wheel for a few
seconds, it interrupts the correction and returns control to
the driver.
– If, while correcting the trajectory , the system determines
that the correction will not be enough and that a solid line
will be crossed (orange line): the driver is warned that they
must provide additional trajectory adjustment.
The duration of audible warnings will increase if multiple
corrections are performed in quick succession. The
warning will become continuous, persisting until the driver
responds.
This message may also be displayed if you have your
hands on the steering wheel.
