Ease of use and comfort
3Correct driving position
For safety reasons, adjustments must
only be made when the vehicle is
stationary.
Before taking to the road and to make the most
of the ergonomic layout of the instruments and
controls, carry out these adjustments in the
following order:
–

head restraint height.
–


seat backrest angle.
–


seat cushion height.
–


longitudinal seat position.
–


steering wheel height.
–


rear view mirror and door mirrors.

Once these adjustments have been
made, check that the instrument panel
can be viewed correctly from your driving
position.
Front head restraints
Adjusting the height

Upwards:
â–º Pull the head restraint up to the desired
position; you can feel the head restraint clicking
into position.
Downwards:
â–º

Press lug
A to lower the head restraint.
The head restraint is correctly adjusted when its upper edge is level with the top
of the occupant's head.
Removing a head restraint
â–º Pull the head restraint fully up.
â–º Press lug A to release the head restraint and
raise it fully.
â–º

Stow the head restraint securely
.
Refitting a head restraint
â–º Insert the head restraint rods into the guides
in the corresponding seat backrest.
â–º

Push the head restraint fully down.
â–º


Press the lug
A to release the head restraint
and push it down.
â–º

Adjust the height of the head restraint.
Never drive with the head restraints
removed; they should be in place and
adjusted for the occupant of the seat.
Front seats
Longitudinal

â–º Raise the control bar and slide the seat
forwards or backwards.
â–º

Release the control bar to lock the seat in
position on one of the notches.
Before moving the seat backwards,
ensure that there is no person or object
that might prevent the full travel of the seat.
There is a risk of trapping or pinching
passengers if present in the rear seats or of

25
Ease of use and comfort
3Please note: an incorrectly latched
backrest compromises the safety of
passengers in the event of sudden braking or
an accident.
When repositioning the seat backrest, take
care not to trap the seat belts.
The contents of the boot may be thrown
forwards - risk of serious injury!
Adjustable head restraints
These have just one position for use (up) and
one position for storage (down).
They can be removed and are interchangeable
side to side.
To remove a head restraint:


â–º Pull it upwards as far as possible.
â–º Press on lug A.
Never drive with the headrests removed;
they must be fitted and correctly
adjusted.
Steering wheel
adjustment


â–º When stationary , lower the control to release
the steering wheel.
â–º

Adjust the height and reach to suit your
driving position.
â–º


Pull the control to lock the steering wheel.
For safety reasons, these adjustments
must only be carried out with the vehicle
stationary.
Mirrors
Door mirrors
As a safety measure, the mirrors should be adjusted to reduce the "blind spots".
The objects that you see in the mirrors are
in fact closer than they appear. Take this
into account in order to correctly judge the
distance of vehicles approaching from behind.
Manual adjustment

â–º Move the adjustment lever in any of the four
directions to position the mirror .
When the vehicle is parked, the door mirrors can
be folded in manually.
If the mirror unit has popped out of its initial
position, with the vehicle stationary, push it back
into place manually or use the electric folding
control.
There is no risk of breakage, even in frosty
weather.

61
Driving
6Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures
shown on the label.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains.
Under-inflation alert
This is signalled by the fixed illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and the display of a message.
â–º

Reduce speed immediately
, avoid excessive
steering movements and avoid sudden braking.
â–º

Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so.
The loss of pressure detected may not always cause visible deformation of the
tyre.
Do not rely on just a visual check.
â–º

Using a compressor
, such as the one in
the temporary puncture repair kit, check the
pressures of all four tyres when cold.
â–º

If it is not possible to carry out this check
immediately

, drive carefully at reduced speed.
â–º

In the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel
(depending on equipment).
Driving too slowly may not ensure
optimum monitoring.
The alert is not immediately triggered in the
event of a sudden loss of pressure or tyre
blow-out. This is because analysis of the
values read by the wheel's speed sensors
can take several minutes.
The alert may be delayed at speeds below
25 mph (40 km/h), or when adopting a sporty
driving mode.
The alert is kept active until the system is reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
â–º The system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment to the pressure of one or more tyres,
and after changing one or more wheels.
Before reinitialising the system, make
sure that the pressures of the four tyres
are correct for the conditions of use of the
vehicle and conform to the values written on
the tyre pressure label.
Check the pressures of the four tyres before
performing the reinitialisation.
The system does not advise if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
Without audio system
â–º Open the glove box.



â–º Hold this button down.
Reinitialisation is confirmed by a low-pitched
audible signal.
A
high-pitched audible signal indicates that the
reinitialisation has not been carried out.
The new pressure parameters saved are treated
as reference values by the system.
With audio system
â–º Press the MENU button for access to the
main menu.
â–º

Press the "
7" or "8" button to select the
"Personalisation-configuration " menu and
confirm by pressing the central button.
â–º

Press the "
7" or "8" button to select the
"Define the vehicle parameters " menu and
confirm by pressing the central button.
â–º

Press the "
7" or "8" button to select the
"Driving assistance" category and confirm by
pressing the central button.
