Ease of use and comfort
Correct driving position
For safety reasons, adjustments must
only be made when the vehicle is
stationary.
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:
–

seat backrest angle.
–


seat cushion height.
–


longitudinal seat position.
–


steering wheel height.
–


rear view mirror and door mirrors.
–


seat belt fastened.

Once these adjustments have been
made, check that the instrument panel
can be viewed correctly from your driving
position.
Front seats
Before moving the seat backwards,
ensure that there is nothing 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
jamming the seat if large objects are placed
on the floor behind the seat.
Longitudinal adjustment

► Raise the control bar and slide the seat
forwards or backwards.
►

Release the bar to lock the seat in position on
one of the runners.
Backrest angle adjustment

► Raise the control lever to the maximum
height in order to avoid noise and mechanism
failure.
Height adjustment
(Driver only, depending on version)

► Raise or lower the control as many times as
needed.


Avoid stepping on these plastic parts - Risk of injury or damaging the
components!

3Steering wheel
adjustment


► When stationary, hold the steering wheel on
one hand and pull the control lever to release the
steering wheel.
►

Adjust the height 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.
Door mirrors
Objects viewed in the door mirror on the
passenger side are closer than they
appear. Be careful when moving to the right.
Using only this mirror could cause an
accident. Use the inside mirror or glance over
your shoulder to properly judge distances to
other objects.
Do not adjust the mirrors while driving.
You could lose control of your vehicle
and cause an accident.
Manual adjustment

► Move directly the mirror in any direction to
adjust it.
Manual adjustment with the
control


► Move the lever in any direction to adjust it.
If the mirror unit has come out of its initial
position, with the vehicle stationary
, push it back
into place manually or use the control.
There is no risk of breakage, even in frosty
weather.
Manual folding
The mirrors can be folded manually (parking
obstruction, narrow garage, etc.).
►

urn the mirror towards the vehicle.
Rear seats
Folding the backrest
Manoeuvring the seat backrest should
only be done when the vehicle is
stationary.

Lighting and visibility
Exterior lighting control
stalk
Main lighting



Lighting off (ignition off)
Sidelamps only
Dipped or main beam headlamps
Headlamp dipping

► Turn and align the selection ring to switch
between dipped and main beam headlamps.
In the lighting off and sidelamps modes, the
driver can switch on the main beam headlamps
temporarily (“headlamp flash”) by pulling up the
stalk.
Switching on the lamps after
switching off the ignition
To reactivate the lighting control, rotate the
ring to the "0" position - lamps off, then to the
desired position.
If the driver's door is opened, a temporary
audible signal warns the driver that the lamps
are on.
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal surface of the glass
of the headlamps and rear lamps is normal; it
disappears after the lamps have been on for a
few minutes.
Direction indicators

► Left or right: lower or raise the lighting control
stalk, beyond the point of resistance.
Three flashes
► Press briefly upwards or downwards, without
going beyond the point of resistance; the
direction indicators will flash 3 times.
Headlamp beam height
adjustment




To avoid disturbing other road users, the height
of the headlamp beams should be adjusted
according to the load in the vehicle.
