FRONT HEADRESTS
To raise the headrest
Pull the headrest upwards to the de-
sired height.
To lower the headrest
Press button 2 and guide the headrest 
down to the desired height.
To adjust the angle of the 
headrest
Depending on the vehicle, tilt section  A 
towards or away from you to the re-
quired position.
To remove the headrest
Raise the headrest to its highest po-
sition (tilt the seatback backwards if 
necessary). Press button  1 and lift the 
headrest to release it.
To 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 
to pull them up or push them down.
The headrest is an impor-
tant safety component: 
ensure that it is in place and 
in the correct position. The 
distance between your head and the 
headrest and the distance between 
the head and section  A should be 
as small as possible.

ously and remove the headrest.

in Section 3).
To refit the headrest
Insert the headrest rods into the 
sleeves, and lower the headrest to the 
first notch.

Lower the headrest as far as possi-
ble, then press tab  2 and lower it com-
pletely.
When the headrest is set at the 
lowest position (position  B ) this is

The headrest is a safety 
component. Ensure that it is 
fitted and in the correct po-
sition: the top of your head 
should be in line with the top of the 
headrest.

Depending on the vehicle, the passen-
ger seatback may be folded down onto

FRONT SEATS WITH MANUAL CONTROL (2/2)
5
To adjust the lumbar support 
on the driver’s seat
Lower handle  5 to increase the support 
and lift to decrease it.
When the front seat is in 
table position, the front pas-
senger air bag must be dis-
abled (see information on 
“Child safety: activating/deactivat-
ing the front passenger air bag” in 
Section 1).
Risk of serious injury caused by 
items resting on the seatback table 
which may be dislodged when the 
air bag is deployed.
The label (on the dashboard) and 
the markings (on the windscreen) 
remind you of these instructions.

1.21
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.
Incorrectly adjusted or 
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 
first removed your coat or jacket). 
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 depress 
the clutch pedal fully. 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.
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 belt should be worn so that it is 
as close as possible to your body, i.e.: 
avoid wearing heavy clothing or keep-
ing bulky objects under the belts, etc.

Make sure that the rear bench seat 
is locked in position correctly so that 
the rear seat belts will operate effi-
ciently. Refer to the information on 
the “Rear bench seat” in Section 3.

Some seats are not suitable for fitting 
child seats. The diagram on the follow-
ing page shows you how to attach a 
child seat.
The types of child seats indicated may 
not be available. Before using a differ-
ent child seat, check with the manufac-
turer that it can be fitted.
CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat (1/12)
In the front seat
The laws concerning children travel-
ling in the front passenger seat differ in 
every country. Consult the legislation in 
force and follow the indications on the 
diagram on the following page.
Before fitting a child seat in this seat (if 
authorised):
–  lower the seat belt as far as possible;
–  move the seat as far back as possi-ble;
–  gently tilt the seatback away from  vertical (approximately 25°);
–  on equipped vehicles, raise the seat  base as far as possible.
RISK OF DEATH OR 
SERIOUS INJURY: before 
fitting a rear-facing child 
seat in this position, check 
that the air bag has been deacti-
vated (refer to the information on 
“Child safety: deactivating/activat-
ing the front passenger air bag” in 
Section 1).
Fit the child seat in a rear 
seat wherever possible.
Check that when installing 
the child seat in the vehicle 
it is not at risk of coming loose from 
its base.
If you have to remove the headrest, 
check that it is correctly stored so 
that it does not come loose under 
harsh braking or impact.
Always attach the child seat to the 
vehicle even if it is not in use so that 
it does not come loose under harsh 
braking or impact.
In all situations, reinsert the headrest to 
its full extent so that it does not interfere 
with the child seat (see the information 
on “Front headrests” in Section 1);
After installing the child seat, if neces-
sary, the seat may be advanced (so as 
to leave enough space in the rear seats 
for passengers or other child seats). 
For a rear-facing child seat, do not let 
it touch the dashboard or move it to the 
furthest forward position.
Do not change other settings after in-
stalling the child seat. 
Page 43 of 268

1.37
Ensure that the child seat 
or the child’s feet do not 
prevent the front seat from 
locking correctly. Refer to 
the information on the “Front seat” 
in Section 1.
In the rear side seat
A carrycot can be installed across the 
vehicle and will take up at least two 
seats.
Position the child with their feet nearest 
the door.
Move the front seat as far forward as 
possible to install a rear-facing child 
seat, then move back the seat in front 
as far as it will go, although without al-
lowing it to come into contact with the 
child seat.
For the safety of the child in the for-
ward-facing seat, do not move the seat 
in front back past the middle of the 
runner, do not tilt the seatback too far 
(maximum of 25°) and raise the seat as 
much as possible.
Always remove the headrest from the 
rear seat used for the child seat (see 
“Rear headrests” in Section 1). This 
must be done before fitting the child 
seat.
Check that the forward-facing child seat 
is resting against the back of the vehi-
cle seat.
