General
recommendations for the
seats
WARNI NG
For safety reasons, seat adjustments must only be made when the vehicle is stationary.
WARNI NG
Folding or unfolding the seat backrests must only be done with the vehicle stationary.
WARNI NG
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.
WARNI NG
Do not place hard or heavy objects on the backrests forming a table. They could become
dangerous projectiles in the event of sudden braking or a collision.– Do not remove a head restraint without stowing it; secure it to a support inside the vehicle.– Check that the seat belts remain accessible to the passenger and easy to fasten.– Passengers must never take their seat without adjusting and fastening their seat belt.
WARNI NG
Before carrying out the manoeuvres, check that nothing and no one is obstructing the moving elements and their locking.To avoid sudden folding, take care to hold the backrest and support it until it is horizontal.Never put your hand underneath the seat cushion to guide the seat downwards or upwards, you could get your fingers trapped. Place your hand on the grip/strap (depending on equipment) at the top of the seat cushion.
WARNI NG
Please note: an incorrectly latched backrest compromises the safety of passengers in the event of sudden braking or an impact.The contents of the boot may be thrown forward - risk of severe injury!
Front seats
Correct driving position
Before taking to the road and to make the most of the ergonomic layout of the instruments and controls, carry out these adjustments in the following order:– head restraint height.– seat backrest angle.– seat cushion height.– longitudinal seat position.– steering wheel height and reach.– rear view mirror and door mirrors.

WARNI NG
Once these adjustments have been made,
check that the instrument panel can be viewed correctly from your driving position.

Heated seat control


► Approximately 30 seconds after starting the engine, press the control.The temperature is controlled automatically.Pressing again interrupts operation.
NOTIC E
If you press the control while the engine is not running, the request will be memorised for approximately 2 minutes.
With the two-seat front bench seat, the driver's seat control switches the heating on or off for the bench seat’s outer seat.
ECO
Do not use the function when the seat is not occupied.Reduce the heating intensity as soon as possible.When the seat and passenger compartment have reached a satisfactory temperature, switch the function off; reducing electricity consumption in turn decreases fuel consumption.
WARNI NG
Prolonged use of the heated seats is not recommended for those with sensitive skin.There is a risk of burns for people whose perception of heat is impaired (illness, taking medication, etc.).To keep the heated pad intact and to prevent a short circuit:– do not place sharp or heavy objects on the
seat,– do not kneel or stand on the seat,– do not spill liquids onto the seat,– never use the heating function if the seat is wet.

► Return control A or C (depending on the version you have) to its centre position.
WARNI NG
As a safety measure, the mirrors should be adjusted to reduce the blind spots.The objects observed are, in reality, closer than they appear.Take this into account when assessing the distance of vehicles approaching from behind.
Manual folding
You can manually fold the mirrors (parking obstruction, narrow garage, etc.)► Turn the mirror towards the vehicle.
Electric folding

Folding the backrests
First steps:► lower the head restraints,► if necessary, move the front seats forward,► check that nothing or no person might interfere with the folding of the backrests (clothing, luggage, etc.),► check that the outer seat belts are lying flat on the backrests.
NOTIC E
The folding of the backrest is accompanied by a slight lowering of the corresponding seat cushion.When the backrest is released, the red indicator is visible in the release grips on the outer seats.
