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!

one hand and pull the control lever to release the
steering wheel.
►

►


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

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.).
