TORCH
A removable torch, incorporated in
the wall of the boot, carries out two

sliding side door. Head restraints and seat belts
The three seats are equipped with
inertia reel seat belts. The seat belts
of the side seats are solid with the
panels, whereas the seat belt of the
centre seat is solid with the back of the
bench seat.
Each seat has a head restraint bolted
onto the load retaining grille and which
can be removed.
Do not store a head restraint inside the
vehicle unless it is stowed or fi xed to a
support.
Do not drive with rear passengers
without fi rst bolting the head restraints
in place. Placing the bench seat in the
fully folded position
- If necessary, move the front seats
forward and fasten the strap of the
seat belt of the centre seat.

Putting the bench seat back 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.
- Raise the seat back. The control A locks automatically.
- Check that the bench is locked on the fl oor correctly once it has been
