Driving with the right-hand
door open
With the right-hand door open, close
the left-hand door.
On equipped vehicles, lock the left-
hand door by turning the lock 5 to put it
in its housing 4.
If driving with the right-
hand rear hinged door
open, always secure trans-
ported loads (please refer
to the section “Transporting objects”
in Section 3). The left-hand door,
which remains shut, should not be
used to hold transported loads in
place. Using the right rear hinged
door open while driving should only
be done in exceptional cases.
In any event, please refer to local
legislation. Risk of loads falling on
the road surface.

sired height. Check that it is correctly
locked.
To lower the headrest
Press button 1 and guide the headrest
down to the desired height. Check that
it is correctly locked.

To raise the headrest
Raise the headrest to its highest po-
sition (tilt the seatback if necessary).
Press button 1 and lift the headrest to
release it.
To refit the headrest
Insert the headrest rods into the holes
(tilt the seatback if necessary). Lower
the headrest until it locks and press
button 1 to adjust to the desired height.
Check that each rod 2 on the seatback
is securely locked.
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 top of the head and there must
be a minimal distance between the
head and the headrest A.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (1/4)
1
– Have the entire restraint
system checked following
an accident.
– No operation whatsoe-
ver is permitted on any part of
the system (pretensioners, air
bags, computers, wiring) and the
system components must not
be reused on any other vehicle,
even if identical.
– To avoid incorrect triggering of the system which may cause
injury, only qualified personnel
from an approved Dealer may
work on the pretensioner and air
bag system.
– The electric trigger system may only be tested by a specially
trained technician using special
equipment.
– When the vehicle is scrapped, contact an approved Dealer for
disposal of the pretensioner and
air bag gas generators.Depending on the vehicle, they will
consist of:
– front seat belt inertia reel preten-sioners;
– chest-level load limiters;
– air bags for driver and front pas- senger.
These systems are designed to act in-
dependently or together when the vehi-
cle is subjected to a frontal impact.
Depending on the severity of the
impact, the system can trigger:
– seat belt locking;
– the seat belt inertia reel pretensioner (which engages to correct seat belt
slack);
– airbags.
Pretensioners
The pretensioners hold the seat belt
against the body, holding the occupant
more securely against the seat, thus in-
creasing the seat belt’s efficiency.
With the ignition on, following a signi-
ficant frontal impact and depending on
the severity of the impact, the system
may trigger the seat belt inertia reel
pretensioner 1, which instantly retracts
the seat belt.

1.50
Rear centre seat
Check that the belt is suitable for secu-
ring your child seat. Consult an appro-
ved dealer.
Fit the child seat in a rear
seat wherever possible.
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.
In all situations, remove the rear head-
rests (refer to the information on the
“Rear headrests” in Section 3). 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.
CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat, general information (2/2)
A child seat with a floor sup-
port must never be installed
on the rear centre seat.
RISK OF DEATH OR
SERIOUS INJURY.

proved Dealer.
Never place the cap near a source
of heat or flame.
Do not wash the filler area with a
high-pressure washer.
Do not mix even small
amounts of petrol (un-

TRANSPORTING OBJECTS (1/2)
Always position the heavi-
est items directly on the
floor. Use the lashing points
on the luggage compart-
ment floor, if these are fitted to the
vehicle. The load should be loaded
in such a way that no items will be
thrown forward and strike the occu-
pants if the driver has to brake sud-
denly or while driving on a steep
gradient. Fasten the rear seat belts,
even if the seats are not occupied.Transporting objects in the
rear load area
Depending on the vehicle, secur-
ing rings 1 and 2 can be used to stop
transported objects from moving. The
number of rings and their position may
vary depending on the vehicle.
The sole purpose of these rings 1 is
to prevent transported objects from
moving. The objects must be se-
cured to the mounting rings 2 on the
vehicle floor beforehand.

While driving with the right
rear hinged door open,
always secure transported
loads. The left-hand door,
which remains shut, should not be
used to hold transported loads in
place. Using the right rear hinged
door open while driving should only
be done in exceptional cases.
In any event, please refer to local

TRANSPORTING OBJECTS (2/2)
For your safety, check that
all the vehicle’s doors are
properly closed before
starting the engine.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL: topping up/filling (1/2)
The engine must be
stopped before any action
(and not on standby): stop
the engine (please refer
to the information on “Starting and
stopping the engine” in Section 2).
Never run the engine in an
enclosed space as exhaust
gases are poisonous.
Engine oil change : if you
are changing the oil when
the engine is hot, be careful
not to scald yourself if the
oil overflows.
When working in the engine
compartment, ensure that
the windscreen wiper stalk
is in the park position.
Risk of injury.
The engine may be hot
when carrying out opera-
tions in close proximity. In
addition, the engine cooling
fan can come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.
Filling: take care when
topping up the oil that
no oil drips onto engine
components - risk of fire.
Remember to refit the cap securely
as there is a risk of fire if oil splashes
onto hot engine components.
Exceeding the maximum
engine oil level
Under no circumstances
must the maximum fill level
be exceeded: risk of damage to the
engine and catalytic converter.
If the oil level exceeds the maximum
level, do not start your vehicle and
contact an approved Dealer.

4.14
Respect local regulations about wash-
ing vehicles (e.g. do not wash your ve-
hicle on a public highway).
Observe the vehicle stopping distances
when driving on gravelled surfaces to
prevent paint damage.
Repair, or have repaired quickly, areas
where the paint has been damaged, to
prevent corrosion spreading.
Remember to visit the body shop pe-
riodically in order to maintain your
anti-corrosion warranty. Refer to the
Maintenance Document.
If it is necessary to clean mechani-
cal components, hinges, etc., spray
them with products approved by our
Technical Department to protect them
after they have been cleaned.
BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (2/2)
We have selected special products
to care for your vehicle and you can
obtain these from the manufactur-
er’s accessory outlets.
Using a roller type car wash
Return the windscreen wiper stalk to
the Park position (refer to the informa-
tion on the “Windscreen washer, wiper”
in Section 1). Check the mounting of
external accessories, additional lights
and mirrors, and ensure that the wiper
blades are secured with adhesive tape.
Remove the radio aerial mast if your
vehicle is fitted with this equipment.
Remember to remove the tape and refit
the antenna after washing.
Cleaning the headlights
As the headlights are made of plastic
“glass”, use a soft cloth or cotton wool
to clean them. If this does not clean
them properly, moisten the cloth with
soapy water, then wipe clean with a soft
damp cloth or cotton wool.
Finally, carefully dry off with a soft dry
cloth.
Cleaning products containing alco-
hol must not be used.
Vehicles with a matte paint
finish
This type of paint requires certain pre-
cautions.
Do not do the following
– use wax-based products (polishing);
– rub hard;
– wash the vehicle in a roller-type car
wash;
– wash the vehicle using a high-pres-
sure device;
– attach stickers to the paintwork (risk
of leaving marks).
You should do the following
Wash the vehicle by hand using plenty
of water, using a soft cloth or a gentle
sponge.
