CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat, general information (1/2)
Some seats are not suitable for fitting 
child seats. The diagram on the follow-
ing page shows you how to attach a 
child seat.
The types of child seat indicated may 
not be available. Before using a differ-
ent child seat, check with the manufac-
turer that it can be fitted.
Ensure that the child seat 
or the child’s feet do not 
prevent the front seat from 
locking correctly. Refer to 
the information on the “Front seat” 
in Section 1.
Check that when installing the child 
seat in the vehicle it is not at risk of 
coming loose from its base.
If you have to remove the headrest, 
check that it is correctly stored so 
that it does not come loose under 
harsh braking or impact.
Always attach the child seat to the 
vehicle even if it is not in use so that 
it does not come loose under harsh 
braking or impact.
In the front seat
The laws concerning children travel-
ling in the front passenger seat differ in 
every country. Consult the legislation in 
force and follow the indications on the 
diagram on the following page.
Before fitting a child seat in this seat (if 
authorised):
–  lower the seat belt as far as possible;
–  move the seat as far back as possi- ble;
–  gently tilt the seatback away from  vertical (approximately 25°);
–  on equipped vehicles, raise the seat  base as far as possible.
RISK OF DEATH OR 
SERIOUS INJURY: Before 
installing a child seat on the 
front passenger seat, check 
that the airbag has been deacti-
vated (please refer to “Child safety: 
front passenger airbag deactivation 
and activation” in Section 1).
After installing the child seat, if neces-
sary, the seat may be advanced (so as 
to leave enough space in the rear seats 
for passengers or other child seats). 
For a rear-facing child seat, do not let 
it touch the dashboard or move it to the 
furthest forward position.
Do not change other settings after in-
stalling the child seat.

CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat, general information (2/2)
In the rear side seat
A carrycot can be installed across the 
vehicle and will take up at least two 
seats.
Position the child with their feet nearest 
the door.
Move the front seat as far forward as 
possible to install a rear-facing child 
seat, then move back the seat in front 
as far as it will go, although without al-
lowing it to come into contact with the 
child seat.
For the safety of the child in the for-
ward-facing seat, do not move the seat 
in front back past the middle of the 
runner, do not tilt the seatback too far 
(maximum of 25°) and raise the seat as 
much as possible.
In all situations, remove the rear head-
rests (refer to the information on the 
“Rear headrests” in Section 3). This 
must be done before fitting the child 
seat.
Check that the forward-facing child seat 
is resting against the back of the vehi-
cle seat.
Fit the child seat in a rear 
seat wherever possible.

The headrest is a safety 
component; check that it is 
fitted and in the correct po-
sition. The top of the head-
rest should be as close as possible 
to the top of the head.
To raise the headrest
Raise the headrest as far as it will go, 
then press button  A and remove the 
headrest.
If necessary, fold the seatback down to 
take out the headrest (see the informa-
tion on the “Rear bench seat” in 
Section 3).
To refit the headrest
Enter the rods in their housing and 
push down the headrest until it locks to 
use it in the high position. Check that it 
is correctly locked.
Position for use
Raise the headrest as far as possible to 
use it in the high position. Check that it 
is correctly locked.
Storage position
Press button A and lower the headrest 
completely.
When the headrest is set at the 
lowest position, this is for storage 
only. It should not be in this position 
when a seat is occupied.

To fold down the seatback:
–  Ensure that the front seats are far enough forward;
–  Lower the headrest as far as it will  go;
–  Place the seat belts in their guides  A;
–  Pull the tab 1 upwards and lower the  seatback B.
To raise the seatback again, proceed 
in the reverse order. Ensure that it is 
properly secured in place.
Refit the seatback and click it back into 
place. Increasing the boot volume (depend-
ing on the vehicle)
 
The seatback can be made vertical in 
order to increase the boot volume: 
–  pull the tab 1  and lower the seat-
back B;
–  lift the rod 2 until it locks in place;
–  lift the seatback B  and click it onto 
the rod 2, ensuring that it is properly 
locked in place.
To return to the initial position:
–  pull the tab 1  and lower the seat-
back B;
–  lower the rod 2 as far as it will go;
–  raise the seatback B and make sure  it properly locks in place.
For safety reasons, carry 
out any adjustments when 
the vehicle is not being 
driven.
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, as is the case 
for maximum loads (example  B).
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.
