When the engine is started, the system

automatically locks the doors when the

vehicle reaches a speed of approxi-

mately 4 mph (7 km/h).

If you notice an operating fault (auto-

matic locking impossible), first check

that all doors are correctly locked. If

they are correctly locked and the fault

is still present, contact an approved

Dealer.
Also make sure that locking has not

been inadvertently deactivated.
If necessary, refer to the activation pro-

cedure.

being driven.
We would advise you not to recline the seatbacks too far to ensure that

the effectiveness of the seat belts is not reduced.

Make sure that the seatbacks are correctly locked in place.
Nothing should be placed on the floor (area in front of driver) as such objects may

slide under the pedal during braking manoeuvres, thus obstructing its use.

Operating faults

(depending on vehicle)
If the sliding side door does not work,

lower handle 6, hold it while the seat-

back tilts and slide the seat forwards.
To place the seat into the comfort posi-

tion, slide it rearwards.

Adjust the seat and make sure that it is

correctly locked.

To avoid all risk of injury,

ensure that nobody is in

the proximity of the moving

parts. When moving the

seat, make sure that nothing inter-

feres with the moving parts and their

locking.

For safety reasons, carry

out any adjustments when

the vehicle is not being

driven.

1.31

ROOF FLAP

(1/2)

Driving with the roof flap

open may be unpleasant

for passengers because

exhaust gas may enter the

passenger compartment. This use

is solely for short distances, or for

transporting bulky objects with-

out having to open the rear doors. In

this case, close the other windows

and operate the ventilation system

at the half or fully open setting,

as this will help to prevent exhaust

fumes from entering the passenger

compartment.

Transverse bar

When loading bulky objects, the trans-

verse bar may be moved:
– Press the handle 3;
– lift the bar all the way to the door

pillar;

– lock the bar after loading.

To open:

– Unlock the control 2, the roof flap lifts

automatically (make sure that noth-

ing prevents the flap from opening.

In this case, use the handle 1 to help

raise it);

– when the roof flap is open, it must

be locked by pushing it towards the

front of the vehicle until the control 2

locks.

Important: It is prohibited to drive with

the roof flap open and unlocked.

Note: When driving with the roof flap

open, you may hear wind noise. To

reduce these, open one of the side win-

dows slightly.

1.32

ROOF FLAP

(2/2)

Before starting, always reposition

the transverse bar and ensure it is

correctly locked.
The rear hinged doors can only be

closed with the bar locked.
Remember that the overall vehicle

dimensions may change when you

are transporting bulky objects.

1 2

To close:

– Unlock the control 2, the roof flap au-

tomatically opens halfway;

– pull the handle 1 and lock the roof

flap in the closed position.

1.33

To rotate the partition

– Unlock the seat base by moving

handle 1 downwards;

– lift the front passenger seat base

vertically (arrow);

– lower headrest 2 to its lowest setting;
– unlock the seatback by moving

handle 1 downwards again and po-

sition the seatback horizontally. To

make the manoeuvre easier, rotate

the headrest 2 ;

– Pivot the moving section 90 degrees,

lock it at point 5 and lower catch 3.

Note: before refitting the swivelling

section in its original position, check

that locking point 4 is clean.

– unlock the swivelling section by lift-

ing catch 3;

– reposition the seat base, proceeding

in reverse order.

The swivelling section must

always be locked when the

vehicle is driven. Risk of

injury.

SWIVELLING PARTITION

When moving the swivelling parti-

tion, ensure the seat belt is not dam-

aged. Hold it aside when you rotate

the partition.

Maximum weight on the seat in

table position is 80 kg. The weight

must be evenly distributed.
