The door can be unlocked:
– by pressing the door unlocking

button 1.

tionary).

NB: If a door is opened or closed, it will

automatically lock again when the vehi-

cle reaches a speed of 4 mph (7 km/h).

Operating faults

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

sired height. Check that it is correctly

locked.

To lower the headrest

Raise the headrest to its highest po-

sition (tilt the seatback if necessary).

Press button 1 and lift the headrest to

release it.

(tilt the seatback if necessary). Lower

the headrest until it locks and press

button 1 to adjust to the desired height.

Check that each rod 2 on the seatback

is securely locked.

The headrest is important

for safety. Ensure that it is in

place and in the correct po-

sition: the top of the head-

rest should be as close as possible

to the top of the head and there must

be a minimal distance between the

head and the headrest A.

1.29

the seatbacks too far to ensure that

the effectiveness of the seat belts is

not reduced.
Nothing should be placed on the

floor (area in front of driver) as such

tion A. Check that it is correctly locked.

senger air bag must be dis-

abled (see information on

“Child safety: activating/deactivat-

ing the front passenger air bag” in

Section 1).
Risk of serious injury caused by

items resting on the seatback table

which may be dislodged when the

air bag is deployed.
The label (on the dashboard) and

the markings (on the windscreen)

remind you of these instructions.

1.31

Power Assisted Steering

Never drive with an inadequately

charged battery.

Variable power assisted

steering

The variable power assisted steering

system is equipped with an electronic

control system which alters the level of

assistance to suit the vehicle speed.
Steering is made easier during parking

manoeuvres (for added comfort) whilst

the force needed to steer increases

progressively as the speed rises (for

enhanced safety at high speeds).

Adjusting the steering wheel

height and depth

Pull lever 1 and place the steering

wheel in the required position; push the

lever beyond the point of resistance to

lock the steering wheel in place.
Make sure that the steering wheel is

correctly locked.

For safety reasons, only

adjust the steering wheel

when the vehicle is station-

ary.

STEERING WHEEL/POWER-ASSISTED STEERING

Never switch off the igni-

tion when travelling down-

hill, and avoid doing so in

normal driving (assistance

is not provided).

With the engine switched off, or if

there is a system fault, it is still pos-

sible to turn the steering wheel. The

force required will be greater.

1.32

Always wear your seat belt when trav-

elling in your vehicle. You must also

comply with the legislation of the par-

ticular country you are in.

SEAT BELTS

(1/5)

Incorrectly adjusted or

twisted seat belts may

cause injuries in the event

of an accident.

Use one seat belt per person,

whether child or adult.
Even pregnant women should wear

a seat belt. In this case, ensure that

the lap belt is not exerting too much

pressure on the abdomen, but do

not allow any slack.

Before starting, first adjust your driv-

ing position, then ask all occupants

to adjust their seat belts to ensure

optimum protection.

Adjusting your driving

position

– Sit well back in your seat (having

first removed your coat or jacket).

This is essential to ensure your back

is positioned correctly;

– adjust the distance between the

seat and the pedals. Your seat

should be as far back as possible

while still allowing you to depress

the clutch pedal fully. The seatback

should be adjusted so that your arms

are slightly bent when you hold the

steering wheel;

– adjust the position of your head-

rest. For the maximum safety, your

head must be as close as possible to

the headrest;

– adjust the height of the seat. This

adjustment allows you to select the

seat position which offers you the

best possible view;

– adjust the position of the steering

wheel.

Adjusting the seat belts

Sit with your back firmly against the

seatback.
Shoulder strap 1 should be as close as

possible to the base of the neck but not

on it.
Lap belt 2 should be worn flat over the

thighs and against the pelvis.
The belt should be worn so that it is

as close as possible to your body, i.e.:

avoid wearing heavy clothing or keep-

ing bulky objects under the belts, etc.

Make sure that the rear bench seat

is locked in position correctly so that

the rear seat belts will operate effi-

ciently. Refer to the information on

the “Rear bench seat: functions” in

Section 3.

1.33

SEAT BELTS

(2/5)

Front seat belt reminder

warning light

It lights up on the central display when

the engine is started and, if the driv-

er’s seat belt is not fastened, the light

flashes and a beep sounds for about

2 minutes when the vehicle reaches a

speed of about 9.92 mph (16 km/h).
Depending on the vehicle, this flashes if

the front passenger seat belt is not fas-

tened.

Adjusting the height of the

front seat belts

Move button 6 to select the position you

require so that chest strap 1 is worn as

described above.
Make sure that the seat belt is locked

in position correctly after you have ad-

justed it.

Unlocking

Press button 4 and the seat belt will be

rewound by the inertia reel. Guide the

belt.

Locking

Unwind the belt slowly and smoothly

and ensure that buckle 3 locks into

catch 5 (check that it is locked by pull-

ing on buckle 3).
If the belt jams, allow it to return slightly

before attempting to unwind it again.
If your seat belt is completely jammed,

pull slowly, but firmly, so that just over

3 cm unwinds. Allow it to return slightly

before attempting to unwind it again.
If there is still a problem, contact an ap-

proved dealer.
