Pull the headrest upwards to the de -
sired height.

Press button 2 and guide the headrest
down to the desired height. t
o adjust the angle of the headrest
Depending on the vehicle, push back or
draw the headrest 4 nearer to you until
the desired position.

Raise the headrest to its highest po -
sition (tilt the seatback backwards if
necessary). Press button 1 and lift the
headrest to release it.
t o refit the headrest
Pull out the headrest rods 3 as far as
possible by pulling from the top. Take
care to ensure they are clean and cor-
rectly aligned and, if there are any prob-
lems, check that the notches are facing
forwards.
Insert the headrest rods into the holes
(tilt the seatback backwards if neces -
sary).
Lower the headrest until it locks, press
button 1 and lower the headrest as far
as possible.
Check that each headrest rod 3 is se -
curely locked in the seatback by trying

The headrest is important
for safety. Ensure that it is in
place and in the correct po-
sition: The top of the head -
rest should be as close as possible
to the crown of the head and the dis-
tance between your head and the
headrest should be the least pos -
sible.

We would advise you not to recline the seatbacks too far to ensure that
the effectiveness of the seat belts is not reduced.
No object should be placed on the floor (in front of the driver). Nothing should be
placed around the driver’s feet as such objects may slide under the pedals during
sudden braking manoeuvres and obstruct their use.

Always wear your seat belt when trav-
elling in your vehicle. You must also
comply with the legislation of the par -
ticular country you are in.
Seat belts
I n c o r r e c t l y a d j u s t e d o r
twisted seat belts may
cause injuries in the event
of an accident.
Use one seat belt per person,
whether child or adult.
Even pregnant women should wear
a seat belt. In this case, ensure that
the lap belt is not exerting too much
pressure on the abdomen, but do
not allow any slack.
Before starting, first adjust your driv-
ing position, then ask all occupants
to adjust their seat belts to ensure
optimum protection.
Adjusting your driving
position
– Sit well back in your seat (having
removed your coat or jacket etc.).
This is essential to ensure your back
is positioned correctly;
– adjust the distance between the
seat and the pedals. Your seat
should be as far back as possible
while still allowing you to fully de -
press the pedals. The seatback
should be adjusted so that your arms
are slightly bent when you hold the
steering wheel;
– adjust the position of your head -
rest. For maximum safety, your head
must be as close as possible to the
headrest;
– Adjust the height of the seat. This
adjustment allows you to select the
seat position which offers you the
best possible view.
– adjust the position of the steering
wheel.
Adjusting the seat belts
Sit with your back firmly against the
seatback.
The shoulder strap 1 should be as close
as possible to the base of the neck but
not on it.
Lap belt 2 should be worn flat over the
thighs and against the pelvis.
The seat belt must be worn as close to
the body as possible. Eg: avoid wearing
heavy clothing or keeping bulky objects
under the belts, etc.
