DEADLOCKING
1
Never use deadlocking if 
someone is still inside the 
vehicle.
If fitted to the vehicle, this allows the 
doors to be locked and prevents them 
from being opened with the interior 
handles (for example, by breaking the 
window and then trying to open the 
doors from the inside).Press button 1 twice in quick succes-
sion.
The hazard warning lights and indica-
tor lights flash  three times to indicate 
locking.
Special note: deadlocking is not pos-
sible if the hazard warning lights or the 
side lights are lit.

For safety reasons, carry 
out any adjustments when 
the vehicle is not being 
driven.
Nothing should be placed on the 
floor (area in front of driver) as such 
objects may slide under the pedal 
during braking manoeuvres, thus 
obstructing its use.
To tilt the seatback
Depending on the vehicle, activate con-
trol  1 or 2  and tilt the seatback to the 
desired position.

We would advise you not 
to recline the seatbacks too 
far to ensure that the effec-
tiveness of the seat belts is 
not reduced.

Always wear your seat belt when trav-
elling in your vehicle. You must also 
comply with the legislation of the par-
ticular country you are in.
SEAT BELTS (1/3)
1
2
Incorrectly adjusted or 
twisted seat belts may 
cause injuries in the event 
of an accident.
Use one seat belt per person, 
whether child or adult.
Even pregnant women should wear 
a seat belt. In this case, ensure that 
the lap belt is not exerting too much 
pressure on the abdomen, but do 
not allow any slack.
Before starting, first adjust your driv-
ing position, then ask all occupants 
to adjust their seat belts to ensure 
optimum protection.
Adjusting your driving 
position
–  Sit well back in your seat  (having 
first removed your coat or jacket). 
This is essential to ensure your back 
is positioned correctly;
–  adjust the distance between the  seat and the pedals. Your seat 
should be as far back as possible 
while still allowing you to depress 
the clutch pedal fully. The seatback 
should be adjusted so that your arms 
are slightly bent when you hold the 
steering wheel;
–  adjust the height of the seat.  This 
adjustment allows you to select the 
seat position which offers you the 
best possible view ;
–  adjust the position of the steering 
wheel.
Adjusting the seat belts
Sit with your back firmly against the 
seatback.
Shoulder strap  1 should be as close as 
possible to the base of the neck but not 
on it.
Lap belt  2 should be worn flat over the 
thighs and against the pelvis.
The belt should be worn so that it is 
as close as possible to your body, i.e.: 
avoid wearing heavy clothing or keep-
ing bulky objects under the belts, etc.
Make sure that the rear bench seat 
is locked in position correctly so that 
the rear seat belts will operate effi-
ciently. Refer to the information on 
the “Rear bench seat: functions” in 
Section 3.

ßFront seatbelt reminder 
warning light A
This lights up on the central display 
when the engine is started then, if the 
driver’s or front passenger’s seat belt (if 
this seat is occupied) is not fastened, it 
flashes and a beep sounds for around 
2 minutes.
Note: an object placed on the passen-
ger seat base may activate the warning

Unwind the belt  slowly and smoothly  
and ensure that buckle  3 locks into 
catch 5 (check that it is locked by pull- ing on buckle  3).
If the belt jams, allow it to return slightly 
before attempting to unwind it again.
If your seat belt is completely jammed, 
pull slowly, but firmly, so that just over 
3 cm unwinds. Allow it to return slightly 
before attempting to unwind it again.
If there is still a problem, contact an ap-
proved dealer.

SEAT BELTS (3/3)
Check that the rear seat 
belts are positioned and 
operating correctly each 
time the rear bench seat is 
moved.
Rear seat belts  8
The belts are locked, unlocked and 
adjusted in the same way as the front 
belts.
The following information applies to the vehicle’s front and rear seat belts.
–  No modification may be made to the component parts of the originally 
fitted restraint system: seat belts, seats and their mountings. For spe-\
cial operations (e.g. fitting child seats), contact an authorised deal\
er.
– Do not use devices which allow any slack in the belts (e.g. clothes 
pegs, clips, etc.): a seat belt which is worn too loosely may cause inj\
ury in the 
event of an accident.
–  Never wear the shoulder strap under your arm or behind your back.
–  Never use the same belt for more than one person and never hold a baby o\
r  child on your lap with your seat belt around them.
–  The belt should never be twisted.
–  Following an accident, have the seat belts checked and replaced if neces\
sary.  Always replace your seat belts as soon as they show any signs of wear.
–  When positioning the rear bench seat, make sure that the seat belts and \
buck- les are correctly positioned so that they can be used properly.
–  Make sure that the buckle is inserted into the appropriate catch.
–  Ensure that no objects are placed in the area around the seat belt catch\
 as  they could prevent it from being properly secured.
–  Make sure the seat belt catch is properly positioned (it should not be \
hidden  away, crushed or flattened by people or objects).8
