To fold down the seatback
Ensure that the front seats are far
enough forward.
Lower the headrests fully.
Place the seat belts in their guides A.
Lift the handle 3 and lower the seat-
back B.
Before moving the seatback, put
the seat belt in belt guide A to avoid
damaging it.
To replace the seatback, proceed in
the reverse order to removal.
Refit the seatback and click it back into
place.
For safety reasons, carry
out any adjustments when
the vehicle is not being
driven.
The configuration of the two-seat
bench with the small seatback B
pulled down, does not allow the
central seat to be used as it would
be impossible to buckle the seat belt
(belt buckles inaccessible).
When moving the rear
seats, ensure that nothing
obstructs the anchorage
points (passenger’s arm or
leg, a pet, gravel, cloth, toys, etc.).
When refitting the seat-
back, make sure it is cor-
rectly locked in place.
If seat covers are fitted ,
make sure these do not prevent the
seatback latch from locking in.
Make sure that the seat belts are
positioned correctly.
Reposition the headrests.

Always position the heavi-
est items directly on the
floor. Use the lashing
points 1 on the boot floor, if
these are fitted to the vehicle. The
luggage should be loaded in such a
way that no items will be thrown for-
ward and strike the occupants if the
driver has to brake suddenly. Fasten
the rear seat belts, even if the seats
are not occupied.
TRANSPORTING OBJECTS IN THE LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT
Always position the objects transported
so that the largest surface is against:
– The rear bench seatback for normal loads (example A).
– The front seatbacks with the rear
seatbacks folded down, the mobile
floor in the flat-floor position (exam-
ple B).
– The front seatbacks with the rear seatbacks folded down, the mobile
floor in the stored-away position, as is
the case for maximum loads (exam-
ple C).
If you have to place objects on the folded
seatback, it is necessary that you lower
the headrests before folding the seat-
back so that it can be folded as flat as
possible against the seat.

SEAT COVERINGS (1/5)
Depending on the vehicle, it is possible
to remove the seat covers (cleaning,
customisation, etc.).
Principle of seat cover
removal
Whether it’s for the back or the base,
always remove as shown in the pic-
ture above A : do not rip the self-grip
bands out.
Precautions in use
Once the covers are removed:
– do not use the seats;
– take care with the self-grip bands.
Washing instructions
Follow the washing instructions
shown on the seat covers (labels) in
particular;
– wash the seat covers separately from other materials;
– spin at a maximum speed of 800 rpm;
– do not wash them more than five times.
Once they are dry, do not fold the
seat covers and do not pile them up
(they may show marks).
Serious risk of deterioration.
For safety reasons, carry
out these operations when
the vehicle is stationary.

With the seat covers off,
ensure that the seatbelt
buckles and ISOFIX attach-
ments are clear.
Depending on the vehicle, certain
seat covers have markings to show
that the front passenger seat has
ISOFIX attachments. Make sure
when refitting or replacing the seat
cover that it has the same markings
as the original.
