window, enters the passenger compartment or 
moves inside the vehicle.
(with partition)
The system only checks for a variation in volume 
inside the  cab.
The alarm is triggered if anyone breaks a 
window or enters the vehicle’s cab.
It will not be triggered if someone enters the 
loading area.
If your vehicle is fitted with an Additional 
heating/ventilation system, interior 
volumetric monitoring is not compatible with it.
For more information on the  Additional 
heating/ventilation system, refer to the 
corresponding section.
Anti-tilt 
The system checks for any change in the attitude 
of the vehicle.
The alarm is triggered if the vehicle is lifted or

Locking the vehicle with full 
alarm system
Activation
► Switch off the ignition and exit the vehicle.
►  Lock the vehicle using the remote control or 
with the "Keyless Entry and Start" system.
The monitoring system is active: the red indicator 
lamp in the button flashes every second and 
the direction indicators come on for about 2 
seconds.
Following an instruction to lock the 
vehicle, the exterior perimeter monitoring 
is activated after 5 seconds and the interior 
volumetric and anti-tilt monitoring after 45 
seconds.
If a door, the tailgate or the bonnet is not 
closed properly, the vehicle is not locked 
but the exterior perimeter monitoring will be 
activated after 45 seconds at the same time 
as the interior volumetric and anti-tilt 
monitoring.
Deactivation
► Press the remote control unlocking button.
or
►  Unlock the vehicle with the "Keyless Entry 
and Start" system.
The monitoring system is deactivated: the 
indicator lamp in the button goes off and the 
direction indicators flash for about 2 seconds.
If the vehicle automatically locks itself 
again (as happens if a door or the boot is 
not opened within 30 seconds of unlocking), 
the monitoring system is also reactivated 
automatically.
Locking the vehicle 
with exterior perimeter 
monitoring only
Deactivate the interior volumetric and anti-tilt 
monitoring to avoid the unwanted triggering of 
the
  alarm,   in certain cases such as:
–
 
Slightly open window or sunroof. 
–
 
W

2► Immediately lock the vehicle using the remote 
control or the "Keyless Entry and Start" system.
Only the exterior perimeter monitoring is 
activated; the button's red indicator lamp flashes 
once every second.
To be taken into account, the deactivation  must be carried out every time the 
ignition is switched off.
Reactivating the interior volumetric 
and anti-tilt monitoring
► Deactivate the exterior perimeter monitoring 
by unlocking the vehicle using the remote control 
or the "Keyless Entry and Start" system.

Triggering of the alarm
This is indicated by sounding of the siren 
and flashing of the direction indicators for 30 
seconds.
Depending on the country of sale, certain 
monitoring functions remain active until the alarm 
has been triggered eleven times consecutively.
When the vehicle is unlocked using the remote 
control or the "Keyless Entry and Start" system, 
rapid flashing of the indicator lamp in the button  informs you that the alarm was triggered during 
your absence. When the ignition is switched on, 
this flashing stops immediately.

General 
recommendations for the 
seats
For safety reasons, seat adjustments 
must only be made when the vehicle is 
stationary.
Folding or unfolding the seat backrests 
must only be done with the vehicle 
stationary.
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.
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.
– In row 3, be careful not to leave your feet 
under the row 2 seat while it is being tilted.
–
 
When a row 3 seat is in the fully folded 
position, ensure that the strap is correctly 
hooked to the 
Top Tether fixing of the row 2 
backrest: risk of unexpected tipping of the 
seat.
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.
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. 
 
Once these adjustments have been 
made, check that the instrument panel 
can be viewed correctly from your driving 
position.

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.
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,

3switch the function off; reducing electrical 
consumption in turn decreases energy 
consumption.
Prolonged use of heated seats is not 
recommended for people with sensitive 
skin.
There is a risk of burns for people whose 
perception of heat is impaired (e.g.
  illness, 
taking medication).
To keep the heated pad intact and to prevent 
a short circuit:
–
 
Do not place heavy or sharp 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 damp.

coming from the rear of the vehicle, in order to 
automatically and gradually switch between day 
and night usage.
To ensure optimum visibility while manoeuvring, the mirror automatically 
brightens when reverse gear is engaged.
The system is deactivated if the load in the 
boot exceeds the height of the load space
