TORCH
A removable torch, incorporated in the
wall of the boot, carries out two functions:
- boot light,
- torch.
The boot light operates automatically
when the boot is opened.
The torch operates with NiMH type
storage batteries.
Observe the polarities when fi tting
these storage batteries. Using the torch
Remove it from its location by pulling
from the top.
Press the switch, located on the back
of the torch, to switch it on or off.
The retaining clip allows you to position
the torch for precise use (for example,
lighting while changing a wheel).
Storing the torch
Always put the torch back starting by
positioning the lower part in its location.
If it is not engaged correctly it may not
charge and may not come on when the
boot is opened.
Putting the torch back in place
switches it off automatically if it has not
been switched off already.
The torch has a maximum operating
time of 45 minutes and charges within
a few hours while driving.
Never replace the storage batteries
with conventional batteries.

in the seat position
- In a single movement: take hold of the red strap and pull
the assembly horizontally towards
the rear. Guide the movement until
the feet of the bench seat lock on
the fl oor.
