TORCH
A removable torch, incorporated in
the wall of the boot, carries out two
functions:
- boot light,

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

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.

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.
