CHILD SAFETY: choosing a child seat mounting (1/3)
There are two ways of attaching child
seats: via the seat belt or using the
ISOFIX system.
The seat belt must never
be twisted or the tension
relieved. Never pass the
shoulder strap under the
arm or behind the back.
Check that the seat belt has not
been damaged by sharp edges.
If the seat belt does not operate nor-
mally, it will not protect the child.
Consult an approved dealer. Do not
use this seat until the seat belt has
been repaired.
Do not use the child seat
if it may unfasten the seat
belt restraining it: the base
of the seat must not rest on
the buckle and/or catch of the seat
belt.
Attachment via the seat belt
The seat belt must be adjusted to
ensure that it is effective in the event of
harsh braking or an impact.
Ensure that the strap paths indicated
by the child seat manufacturer are re-
spected.
Always check that the seat belt is cor-
rectly fastened by pulling it up, then
pulling it out fully whilst pressing on the
child seat.
Check that the seat is correctly held by
moving it from side to side and back
to front: the seat should remain firmly
fixed.
Check that the child seat has not been
installed at an angle and that it is not
resting against a window.

1.39
Attachment using the ISOFIX
system
Approved child seats ISOFIX are stand-
ardised in accordance with current reg-
ulations if any of the four cases below
applies:
– ISOFIX universal 3-point forward- facing seat;
– ISOFIX semi-universal 2-point seat;
– Specific;
– i-Size Which has:
– either a belt which attaches to the
third ring of the seat concerned;
– or a stay that rests on the vehi-
cle floor, compatible with the ap-
proved seat i-Size, the role of
which is to prevent the child seat
from moving in the event of a col-
lision.
In the latter three cases check that your
child seat can be installed by consulting
the list of compatible vehicles.
No modifications may be
made to the component
parts of the restraint system
(ISOFIX seat belts, seats
and their mountings) originally fitted.
Before using an ISOFIX
child seat that you pur-
chased for another vehicle,
check that its installation is
authorised. Consult the list of ve-
hicles which can be fitted with the
seat from the equipment manufac-
turer.
CHILD SAFETY: choosing a child seat mounting (2/3)
Attach the child seat with the ISOFIX
locks, if these are provided. The ISOFIX
system allows quick, easy, safe fitting.
The ISOFIX system consists of 2 rings
and, in some cases, a third ring.

X = Seat not suitable for fitting child seats ISOFIX.
IUF/IL = On equipped vehicles, seat which allows an approved “Universal/semi-u\
niversal” or “vehicle specific” child seat to be at-
tached using the ISOFIX system; check that it can be fitted.
i-U = Suitable for the i-Size restraint devices in the “universal” forwa\
rd-facing and backward-facing category.
(1) If necessary, position the vehicle seat as far back as possible. Move the front seat\
as far forward as possible to install a re ar-
facing child seat, then move back the seat in front as far as it will go\
, although without allowing it to come into contact with the
child seat.
(2) In all situations, remove the rear headrest of the seat on which the chi\
ld seat is positioned. This must be done before fitting the
child seat. Please refer to the information on the “Rear headrests”\
in Section 3. Move the seat in front of the child forwards,
move the seatback forward to avoid contact between the seat and the chil\
d’s legs.

DISPLAYS AND INDICATORS (3/4)
Head-up display 7
The display details driving and navi-
gation information from the instrument
panel and the multifunction screen.
If fitted to the vehicle, this comes on
when the engine is started and is re-
tracted when the engine is switched off.
7You can adjust certain settings from the
multifunction screen: with the engine
running, access menu “System”,
“Display” then “Head-up display”.
Adjusting the display information
height
Depending on your driving position,
you can raise or lower the information
on the display.
Adjusting the display brightness
You can adjust the brightness (day or
night mode)
– automatically : the brightness will
vary depending on the outdoor light.
– manually: the brightness automati-
cally switches with the activation/de-
activation of the lights.
In both cases, the day mode varies
based on the outdoor brightness.
Good information visibility can be af-
fected by:
– the seat position;
– the presence of an object placed
on the opened display;
– the polarisation of some spectacle
lenses;
– extreme weather conditions (rain,
snow, very strong sunlight, etc.).
In the event of contradic-
tory information between
the instrument panel and
the head-up display/multi-
function screen, please refer to the
information displayed on the instru-
ment panel.
Do not manually force the opening/
closure of the head-up display.
For safety reasons, carry
out any adjustments when
the vehicle is stationary.

External temperature
indicator
Special note:
When the exterior temperature is - 3 °C
to + 3 °C, the °C characters flash (sig-
nalling a risk of ice on the road).
The time and/or external tempera-
ture are displayed on the multifunc-
tion screen 1
Refer to the handbook for the equip-
ment.
CLOCK AND EXTERIOR TEMPERATURE
External temperature
indicator
As ice formation is related
to climatic exposure, local
air humidity and temperature, the
external temperature alone is not
sufficient to detect ice.

If the electrical supply is cut (battery
disconnected, broken supply wire,
etc.), the clock will automatically
go back to the right time after a few
minutes once the system is capable
of receiving information GPS.
