FRONT SEATS WITH MANUAL CONTROL (1/2)
To move the seat forwards or
back
Lift handle 1 to release. Release the
handle once the seat is in the correct
position and ensure that the seat is fully
locked into position.
To raise or lower the seat
base
Move lever 2 as many times as neces-
sary upwards or downwards.
To tilt the seatback
Turn control knob 3 to the required po-
sition.
Heated seats(depending on vehicle)
With the engine running, turn control 4
to either position I, II or III (depending
on the temperature required). The
message "Heated seat activated» will
appear on the instrument panel once
one of the front seat heating systems
is operating.
The system, which has a thermostat,
decides whether or not the heating is
needed, according to the position se-
lected.
For safety reasons, carry
out any adjustments when
the vehicle is not being
driven.
We would advise you not to recline
the seatbacks too far to ensure that
the effectiveness of the seat belts is
not reduced.
Nothing should be placed on the
floor (area in front of driver) as such
objects may slide under the pedal
during braking manoeuvres, thus
obstructing its use.

Operating faults
The steering may become stiff when
driving or when the steering wheel is
turned repeatedly. This is due to the
power assistance overheating. In this
case, it must be allowed to cool down.Power-assisted steering
Variable power-assisted steering
The variable power-assisted steering
system is equipped with an electronic
control system which alters the level of
assistance to suit the vehicle speed.
Steering is made easier during parking
manoeuvres (for added comfort) whilst
the force needed to steer increases
progressively as the speed rises (for
enhanced safety at high speeds).
STEERING WHEEL/POWER-ASSISTED STEERING
Height and reach adjustment
Pull lever 1 and move the steering
wheel to the required position.
Then, push the lever back fully, beyond
the point of resistance to lock the steer-
ing wheel.
Make sure that the steering wheel is
correctly locked.
For safety reasons, only
adjust the steering wheel
when the vehicle is station-
ary.
Never leave the steering wheel at
full lock while stationary.
1
Never switch off the igni-
tion when travelling down-
hill, and avoid doing so in
normal driving (assistance
is not provided).
With the engine switched off, or if
there is a system fault, it is still pos-
sible to turn the steering wheel. The
force required will be greater.

WINDSCREEN WASH/WIPE (4/5)
Specific front wiper position
(service position)
This position enables the blades to be
lifted to remove them from the winds-
creen.
This can be useful:
– to clean the blades;
– to release the blades from the winds- creen in winter;
– to replace the blades (please refer to the information on the “Wiper
blades” in Section 5).
With the ignition on and the engine off,
lower the windscreen wiper stalk fully
(fast continuous wipe position). The
wiper arms stop in a position away from
the bonnet.
To return the blades to position, make
sure they have been placed on the
windscreen, then move the stalk to po-
sition B (stop) with the ignition on.
Before switching on the ignition,
place the wipers on the windscreen.
Otherwise, there may a risk of damage
to the bonnet or the wipers when they
are switched on.
Note:
Once the wipers have been switched
off, at least 1 minute after locking the
vehicle, it is possible to manually move
the blades. Do not force the blade arms
to move. This may risk damage to the
wiper motor, the arms and the blades.
After your intervention, to reposition the
blades correctly, make sure the blades
are resting on the windscreen, switch
on the ignition and activate the wiper
control.
The blade on the driver’s side must
always be above the passenger blade.
If this is not the case, a quick sweep of
the windscreen wipers should be per-
formed once the vehicle is travelling at
over 4 mph (7 km/h).

In the event of obstacles present on the windscreen (dirt, snow, ice, etc.), clean
the windscreen (including the central area located behind the interior \
rear-view
mirror) and the rear screen before starting the wipers (risk of motor \
overheating).
If an object is preventing a blade from moving, it may stop functioning.\
Remove
the obstacle and reactivate the wiper using the wiper stalk.
Before any action involving
the windscreen (washing
the vehicle, de-icing,
cleaning the windscreen,
etc.) return stalk 1 to position A
(stop).
Risk of injury and/or damage.

Headlight washers
Headlights on
On equipped vehicles, hold stalk 1
pulled towards you for about 1 second,
and the headlight washers and winds-
creen washers will be activated at the
same time.
Note:
To ensure the headlight washers ope-
rate correctly in winter, remove snow
from the jet trims and de-ice the jet
trims using an aerosol de-icer.
You are recommended to regularly
remove dirt encrusted on the headlight
glass.
When the minimum windscreen washer
fluid level is reached, the headlight
washer system may be deprimed.
Fill the windscreen washer fluid and
then activate the windscreen washer,
with the engine running , to reprime
the system.
Before any action on the
windscreen (washing the
vehicle, de-icing, cleaning
the windscreen, etc.) return
stalk 1 to position A (park).
Risk of injury and/or damage.
Windscreen washer
With the ignition on , pull stalk 1 then
release.
A brief pull will trigger a single sweep
of the wipers, in addition to the winds-
creen washer.
A longer pull will trigger three sweeps
of the wipers followed, a few seconds
later, by a fourth, in addition to the
windscreen washer.
Note:
In temperatures below zero, the washer
liquid risks freezing to the windscreen,
thereby reducing visibility. Heat the
windscreen using the demister control
before cleaning.

ding the central area located behind
the interior rear-view mirror) and

wipers (risk of motor overheating).
If an object is preventing a blade
from moving, it may stop functio-
ning. Remove the obstacle and
reactivate the wiper using the wiper
stalk.

brake is properly released
when driving (red indicator
light off), otherwise over-
heating, or even damage, may
occur.
