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.

The three upper positions can
be manipulated without pressing
button 2. However, it is preferable to
press this button to lower the head-
rest.

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.

1.22
SEAT BELTS (2/3)Adjusting the front seat belt
height
(depending on vehicle)
Press button 5 to adjust the seat belt
height so that shoulder strap 1 is worn
as shown previously:
– to lower the seat belt, press button 5
and lower the seat belt at the same
time;
– to raise the seat belt, press button 5
and raise the seat belt at the same
time.
Make sure that the seat belt is locked
in position correctly after you have ad-
justed it.
5
Locking
Unwind the belt slowly and smoothly
and ensure that buckle 3 locks into
catch 4 (check that it is locked by pull- ing on buckle 3). If the belt jams, allow
it to return slightly before attempting to
unwind it again.
If your seat belt is completely jammed,
pull slowly, but firmly, so that just over
3 cm unwinds. Allow it to return slightly
before attempting to unwind it again.
If there is still a problem, contact an ap-
proved dealer.

ßFront seat belt reminder
warning light
This lights up on the central display
when the engine is started then, if the
driver’s or front passenger’s seat belt
(if this seat is occupied) is not fastened
and the vehicle has reached approxi-
mately 12 mph (20 km/h), it flashes and
a bleep sounds for around 2 minutes.
Note: an object placed on the passen-
ger seat base may activate the warning
light in some cases.
Rear seat belt reminder (depending
on vehicle)
the
ß warning light on the cen-
tral display lights up accompanied by a
message on the instrument panel indi-
cating the number of seat belts buck-
led for approximately 30 seconds each
time:
– the vehicle is started;
– a door is opened;
– a rear seat belt is fastened or unfas- tened.
Check that the rear passengers are
wearing seat belts and that the number
of seat belt shown as fastened corre-
sponds to the number of rear bench
seat places occupied.

1.33
CHILD SAFETY: choosing a child seat
Rear-facing child seats
A baby’s head is, proportionally, heavier
than that of an adult and its neck is very
fragile. Transport the child in this po-
sition for as long as possible (until the
age of 2 at the very least). It supports
both the head and the neck.
Choose a bucket type seat for best side
protection and change it as soon as the
child’s head is higher than the shell.Forward-facing child seats
The child’s head and abdomen need to
be protected as a priority. A forward-fac-
ing child seat which is firmly attached to
the vehicle will reduce the risk of impact
to the head. Ensure your child travels in
a forward-facing seat with a harness for
as long as their size permits.
Choose a bucket type seat for optimum
side protection.Booster cushions
From 15 kg or 4 years, the child can
travel using a booster seat, which will
enable the seat belt to be adapted
to suit his/her size and shape. The
booster seat cushion must be fitted with
guides to position the seat belt on the
child’s thighs rather than the stomach.
It is recommended that you use a seat-
back fitted with a belt strap guide which
can be adjusted in terms of height to
position the seat belt in the centre of the
shoulder. It must never rest on the neck
or on the arm.
Choose a bucket type seat for optimum
side protection.

1.51
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.

a tree, etc.) it stops and then lowers
again by a few centimetres.

vating equipment such as the elec-
tric windows or by locking the doors.
If any part of the body becomes
trapped, reverse the direction of the
window immediately by pressing the
relevant switch.
