3Driving position
Correct seating position
Adopting a good driving position contributes to
improving driver comfort and protection.
It also optimises interior and exterior visibility as
well as access to controls.
Certain seat adjustments described in this
section depend on the trim level and the country
in which the vehicle is sold.
Driver’s side

Follow these recommendations as closely as
possible depending on the driver's stature.
Sit fully back in the seat with your pelvis, back
and shoulders in contact with the seat backrest.
Adjust the seat cushion height so that your eyes
are level with the centre of the windscreen.
Adjust the longitudinal position of the seat so
that you can fully depress the pedals with legs
slightly flexed.
Adjust the head restraint so that its upper edge is
level with the top of the head.
Adjust the length of the seat cushion to support
your thighs.
Adjust the lumbar support so that it conforms to
the shape of the spine.
Adjust the steering wheel reach so that you can
hold it with your arms slightly bent.
Adjust the steering wheel height so that it does
not obstruct the information displayed on the
instrument panel.
As a safety precaution, adjust the seats only when the vehicle is stationary.
Electrically-adjustable seats
Switch the ignition on to enable the
adjustments to be made.
Passenger’s side

level with the top of the head.
Before moving off
Adjust the interior and exterior door mirrors to
reduce blind spots.
Fasten the seat belt: place the diagonal belt in
the middle of the shoulder and adjust the lap belt
so that it is tightened across the pelvis.
Ensure that all passengers have fastened their
seat belts correctly.
Electric door mirrors
Switch the ignition on to enable the
adjustments to be made.
When driving
Maintain a good driving position and hold the
steering wheel with both hands at the 'quarter to
three' position, so that you can easily and quickly
reach the controls behind and near the steering
wheel.
Never adjust the seats or steering wheel
when driving.
Always keep your feet on the floor.

Mirrors
Door mirrors
Depending on version, the electrochrome system
uses a sensor that detects the level of exterior
brightness and that coming from the rear of the
vehicle, in order to automatically and gradually
switch between day and night usage.
As a safety measure, the mirrors should be adjusted to reduce the "blind spots".
The objects that you see in the mirrors are
in fact closer than they appear. Take this
into account in order to correctly judge the
distance of vehicles approaching from behind.
Demisting/Defrosting
The demisting/defrosting of the door mirrors works with the demisting/
defrosting of the rear screen.

Electrochrome interior rear
view mirror
Equipped with an anti-dazzle system, which
darkens the mirror glass and reduces the
nuisance to the driver caused by the sun,
headlamps of other vehicles, etc.


The electrochrome system uses a sensor that
detects the level of exterior brightness and that
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.
