(2/3) or right-hand section (1/3) of
which can be folded independently
to vary the load space in the boot.
R e a r h e a d r e s t r a i n t s
The rear head restraints can be removed
and have two positions:
- high, when in use,
- low, to store.
To raise the head restraint, pull it up-
wards.
To lower it, press the catch then
press on the head restraint.
To remove it, move it to the high po-
sition, push the catch and pull the
head restraint upwards.
To put it back in place, engage the
rods of the head restraint in the
holes keeping them in line with the
backrest.
Never drive with the head restraints
removed; they must be in place and
adjusted correctly. F o l d i n g t h e s e a t c u s h i o n
raise the front of the seat cushion,
tilt it towards the front seats.
When repositioning the seat base,
make sure that the seat belt buckles
are back in place.
When you fold a rear seat cushion,
you should also fold the corresponding
backrest. Before tipping the rear seat, make
sure that the seat belts will not be
snagged or trapped by the seat and
its catches. Position them carefully
to the sides of the backrests.

seats, avoid trapping the seat belts
and make sure that the belt buckles
are positioned correctly.

a pretensioning system and force
limiter.
This system improves safety in the
front seats in the event of a front
impact. Fastening
Pull the belt down in front of you
in a steady movement, making
sure that it does not become
twisted.
Press the fastening into its buckle.
Check that it is properly secured
and that the automatic locking
mechanism operates correctly
by pulling sharply on the belt
strap.
The abdominal part of the strap
should be positioned as low
down as possible in the lap and
as tight as possible.
The chest part should be posi-
tioned if possible in the channel
of the shoulder.
E a c h b e l t h a s a r e e l t h a t a d j u s t s i t s
length automatically to the girth of
the seat occupant.
Depending on the seriousness of the
impact, the pretensioning system in-
stantly tightens the seat belt against
the body of the occupant.
The pretensioning seat belts are ac-
tive when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pres-
sure of the seat belt against the
chest of the occupant, so increasing
their protection.
