Before operating the sunroof or blind
control buttons, ensure that no object or
person might prevent the movement.
Be particularly aware of children when
operating the sunroof or blind.
If something is trapped when operating
the sunroof or blind, you should reverse the
movement of the sunroof or blind by pressing
the control in question.
The driver must ensure that passengers use
the sunroof and blind correctly.
Anti-pinch system
If the sunroof or blind encounters an obstacle
when closing, the movement is automatically
reversed.
The roof anti-pinch system is designed to be
effective at speeds of up to 75 mph (120 km/h).
Opening/Closing
►  To open the sunroof or the blind, use the part
of the button located towards the rear of the
vehicle.
►  To close the sunroof or the blind, use the part
of the button located towards the front of the
vehicle.
Operation of buttons
►  Pressing a button beyond its point of
resistance directly opens or closes the sunroof or
blind fully.
►  Pressing the button again stops the current
movement.
►  When holding a button (without going
beyond the point of resistance), the movement
of the sunroof or blind stops when this button is
released.
►  When the sunroof is closed: pressing once
without passing the point of resistance moves it
to a partially open position.
►  When the sunroof is partially open: pressing
once without passing the point of resistance
opens or closes it fully.
The sunroof and windows, then the blind,
can be closed by holding down the door
locking control. The manoeuvre stops as soon
as the locking control is released.
Closing of the blind is limited by the
position of the sunroof: the blind cannot
go further than the front of the movable glass.
During simultaneous movements of the
sunroof and blind, the blind automatically
stops or resumes movement depending on the
position of the sunroof.
Reinitialisation
Following reconnection of the battery or in the
event of a fault or jerky movement of the sunroof
or blind, reinitialisation is required.

section depend on the trim level and the country
in which the vehicle is sold.
Driver’s side

Sit fully back in the seat with your pelvis, back
and shoulders in contact with the seat backrest.
Adjust the seat cushion height so that your eyes
are level with the centre of the windscreen.
The head should be at a minimum distance of
10 cm from the roof.
Adjust the longitudinal position of the seat so that
you can fully depress the pedals with legs slightly
flexed.
The distance between the knees and the
dashboard should be at least 10 cm, for easy
access to the dashboard controls.
Adjust the backrest angle to as vertical a position
as possible; never tilt it more than 25°.
Adjust the head restraint so that its upper edge is
level with the top of the head.
Adjust the length of the seat cushion to support
your thighs.
Adjust the lumbar support so that it conforms to
the shape of the spine.
Adjust the steering wheel reach so that it is at
least 25 cm from the sternum and you can hold it
