3Front seats
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:
–

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.
Adjustments Forwards-backwards


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

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

► Turn the knob to adjust the backrest.
Height

► Pull the control upwards to raise the seat or
push it downwards to lower the seat, until the
position required is obtained.
Lumbar
(driver only)

Ease of use and comfort
Steering wheel
adjustment


► When stationary, lower the control A to
release the steering wheel.
► Adjust the steering wheel height and reach to
suit your driving position.
► Raise the control A to lock the steering
wheel.
As a safety precaution, these operations should only be carried out while the
vehicle is stationary.
► Turn the knob manually to obtain the desired
level of lumbar support.
Head restraint height
adjustment


► To raise it, pull it upwards as far as possible
(notch).
►

T
o remove it, press the lug A and pull it
upwards.
►

T
o put it back in place, engage the head
restraint rods in the openings keeping them in
line with the seat backrest.
►

T
o lower it, press the lug A and push down on
the head restraint at the same time.
The head restraint has a frame with notches which prevents it from lowering;
this is a safety device in case of impact.
The adjustment is correct when the upper
edge of the head restraint is level with the
top of the head.
Never drive with the head restraints removed;
they must be fitted and correctly adjusted.
Heated seats


► With the engine running, use the adjustment
knob to switch on and select the level of heating
required:
0


: Off.
1


: Low.
2


: Medium.
3


: High.
The front seats can be heated individually.
Before leaving the vehicle, ensure that
the adjustment knob of the passenger
seat is at position
0, so that the heating does
not unnecessarily operate if no passenger is
present during the next journey.
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.
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.

release the steering wheel.
►

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


Raise the control A

to lock the steering
wheel.
As a safety precaution, these operations should only be carried out while the

Mirrors
Door mirrors
The objects observed are, in reality, closer than they appear.
Take this into account in order to correctly
judge the distance of vehicles approaching
from behind.
Electric adjustment



► Turn control A to the right or to the left to
select the corresponding mirror.
►
Move the control in any of the four directions
to adjust.
►


Return the control to the central position.
As a safety measure, the mirrors should be adjusted to reduce the blind spots.
Manual folding
You can manually fold the mirrors (parking
obstruction, narrow garage, etc.)
►

T
urn the mirror towards the vehicle.
Electric folding
If your vehicle is fitted with this function, the
mirrors can be folded electrically from the inside,
with the vehicle parked and the ignition on:


► Turn control A to opposite the mark.
From outside: lock the vehicle using the remote
control or the "Keyless Entry and Starting"
system.
The folding and unfolding of the door mirrors when locking or unlocking the
vehicle can be deactivated via the vehicle
configuration menu.
Demisting - Defrosting
Demisting-defrosting of the door mirrors
operates with the engine running, by
switching on the heated rear screen.
For more information on Demisting - defrosting
the rear screen , refer to the corresponding
section.

Cornering lighting

If fitted to the vehicle, this system makes use of
the beam from a front foglamp to illuminate the
inside of a bend, when the main or dipped beam
headlamps are on and the vehicle speed is
below 25 mph (40
km/h) (urban driving, winding
road, junctions, parking manoeuvres, etc.).


Switching on / off
This system starts:
– when the corresponding direction indicator is
switched on.
or
–

from a certain angle of rotation of the steering
wheel.
It becomes inactive:
–


below a certain angle of rotation of the
steering wheel.
–


above 25 mph (40
km/h).
–

when reverse gear is engaged.
Activation / Deactivation
It is set via the Driving / Vehicle touch
screen menu.
Wiper control stalk
In wintry conditions, remove snow, ice or
frost present on the windscreen, around
the wiper arms and blades and the
windscreen seal, before operating the wipers.
Do not operate the wipers on a dry
windscreen. Under extremely hot or cold
conditions, ensure that the wiper blades are
not stuck to the windscreen before operating
the wipers.
Manual controls
The wipers are controlled directly by the driver.



Windscreen wipers
