REAR SEATS: FUNCTIONS (4/4)
To fit a seat
The seats can be adjusted to your pre-
ferred position on the rails.
Place the seat on the rails.
The seat automatically locks itself onto
the nearest notch when placed on the
rails.
Check that the seat is locked correctly
by moving it from left to right and then
forwards and backwards.
Note: if the seat does not lock back
onto the rails correctly, pull on release 6
again to reload the system. Accessing rear seats:
Lift control
2 , handle 3 or pull on re -
lease 6 to move the seat forward and
free up access to the rear seats.
Leaving the vehicle from the rear
seats
Pull on release 6 and push the seat to-
wards the front. The seat will go for -
ward, creating access to the door.
You can also increase the amount of
space by pulling down the seatback
using release 5.
For safety reasons, after a
seat has been fitted, check
that it is correctly locked
into place by moving it from
left to right and forwards and back-
wards. If there is still a problem,
contact an approved dealer.
For safety reasons, carry
out these operations when
the vehicle is stationary.

OPENING REAR SCREEN
Vehicle with opening rear
screen
The rear screen is locked and unlocked
at the same time as the doors.
To open
Press button 1.
Lift the rear screen by the base of
screen wiper 2. To close
Hold the base of screen wiper
2 and
fold back the rear screen until it locks
in position.
Driving with the rear screen
open may be unpleasant
for passengers as exhaust
gases may enter the pas -
senger compartment. This must
only be done over short distances
or when transporting bulky ob -
jects without having to open the
tailgate. In that case, close the other
windows and the sunroof and switch
the ventilation to medium or max-
imum power , as this will help to
prevent exhaust gas from entering
the passenger compartment.

ROOF BARS
Storage position
To make the vehicle as aerodynamic
as possible, roof bars 1 must be stored
right at the rear of the vehicle.
Moving the bars
On each side, pull lever 2 inwards to re-
lease it (movement A).
Slide bar 1 to the required position. On
each side, push back lever 2 to secure
the bar (movement B). Check that it is
correctly locked.
Loading
The load should be evenly distributed
and must not exceed the maximum
permissible weight per bar indicated
on each bar (refer to the information on
“Weights” in Section 6).
Ensure that any objects and/or acces -
sories being transported are properly
secured. Straps can be fed through
recess 3.
Likewise, the two bars must be suffi -
ciently spaced to prevent the load from
rocking or falling off the bars.

ROOF BARS (continued)
Removing the bars
It may sometimes be necessary to
remove the roof bars. To do this:
– unscrew section 5 using screw 4;
– unlock the bars using levers 2 and
slide them backwards to remove
them;
– refit section 5.
For safety reasons, always ensure that
the roof bars are properly secured if
they are being stored inside the vehicle.
Refitting the bars
Proceed in the reverse order to re -
moval.
Check the bars are correctly locked in
position.
Precautions during use
Using the sunroof (on equipped
vehicles) or the tailgate.
As a general rule, it is not advisable
to use the sunroof when there is a
load on the roof bars.
Before opening the sunroof or tail -
gate, check the objects and/or ac -
cessories (bike rack, roof box, etc.)
fitted to the roof bars: these must be
correctly positioned and secured, so
as not to hinder the operation of the
sunroof or luggage compartment lid.
Contact an approved dealer for de-
tails of possible conversions;
