Heated seats
With the ignition on, press the switch 5
for the seat desired. The indicator light
in the switch lights up.
The system, which has a thermostat,
regulates the heating and deactivates it
if necessary.
To move the seat forwards or
backwards
Lift handle 4 to unlock. Release the
handle once the seat is in the correct
position and ensure that the seat is
locked.
To raise or lower the seat
base
Move the lever 3 as many times as nec-
essary upwards or downwards.
FRONT SEATS

For safety reasons, carry
out any adjustments when
the vehicle is not being
driven.
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.
To tilt the seatback
Depending on the vehicle, activate con-
trol 1 or 2 and tilt the seatback to the
desired position.

We would advise you not
to recline the seatbacks too
far to ensure that the effec-
tiveness of the seat belts is
not reduced.

SEAT BELTS (3/3)
Check that the rear seat
belts are positioned and
operating correctly each
time the rear bench seat is
moved.
Rear seat belts 8
The belts are locked, unlocked and
adjusted in the same way as the front
belts.
The following information applies to the vehicle’s front and rear seat belts.
– No modification may be made to the component parts of the originally
fitted restraint system: seat belts, seats and their mountings. For spe-\
cial operations (e.g. fitting child seats), contact an authorised deal\
er.
– Do not use devices which allow any slack in the belts (e.g. clothes
pegs, clips, etc.): a seat belt which is worn too loosely may cause inj\
ury in the
event of an accident.
– Never wear the shoulder strap under your arm or behind your back.
– Never use the same belt for more than one person and never hold a baby o\
r child on your lap with your seat belt around them.
– The belt should never be twisted.
– Following an accident, have the seat belts checked and replaced if neces\
sary. Always replace your seat belts as soon as they show any signs of wear.
– When putting back the rear bench seat, make sure the seat belts are corr\
ectly positioned so that they can be used properly.
– Make sure that the buckle is inserted into the appropriate catch.
– Ensure that no objects are placed in the area around the seat belt catch\
as they could prevent it from being properly secured.
– Make sure the seat belt catch is properly positioned (it should not be \
hidden away, crushed or flattened by people or objects).

1.20
Side Airbags
This airbag may be fitted to each of the
front seats and is activated at the sides
of the seats (door side) to protect the
occupants in the event of a severe side
impact.
SIDE PROTECTION DEVICES
Warning relating to the side airbag
– Fitting seat covers: seats equipped with an airbag require covers spe-
cifically designed for your vehicle. Contact an approved Dealer to find \
out
if these covers are available. The use of any covers other than those de-
signed for your vehicle (and including those designed for another vehic\
le) may
affect the operation of the airbags and reduce your protection.
– Do not place any accessories, objects or even pets between the seatback,\
the door and the internal fittings. Do not cover the seatback with any items\
such as
clothes or accessories. This may prevent the air bag from operating correctly
or cause injury when the airbag is deployed.
– No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on the seat or int\
ernal fittings, except by qualified personnel from an approved Dealer.
Depending on the vehicle, a mark-
ing on the windscreen informs you
of the presence of additional means
of restraint (air bags, pretensioners,
etc.) in the passenger compartment.

1.24
CHILD SAFETY: General information (2/2)
Using a child seat
The level of protection offered by the
child seat depends on its ability to re-
strain your child and on its installation.
Incorrect installation compromises the
protection it offers the child in the event
of harsh braking or an impact.
Before purchasing a child seat, check
that it complies with the regulations for
the country you are in and that it can
be fitted in your vehicle. Consult an ap-
proved dealer to find out which seats
are recommended for your vehicle.
Before fitting a child seat, read the
manual and respect its instructions. If
you experience any difficulties during
installation, contact the manufacturer
of the equipment. Keep the instructions
with the seat.Set a good example by always fas-
tening your seat belt and teaching
your child:
– to strap themselves in correctly;
– to always get in and out of the car at the kerb, away from busy traf-
fic.
Do not use a second-hand child
seat or one without an instruction
manual.
Check that there are no objects in
the vicinity of the child seat which
could impede its operation.
Never leave a child unat-
tended in the vehicle.
Check that your child is
always strapped in and that
the belt or safety harness used is
correctly set and adjusted. Avoid
wearing bulky clothing which could
cause the belts to slacken.
Never let your child put their head or
arms out of the window.
Check that the child is in the correct
position for the entire journey, espe-
cially if asleep.

1.25
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 boos-
ter 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.

1.26
CHILD SAFETY: choosing a child seat mounting (1/3)
There are two ways of attaching child
seats: via the seat belt or using the
ISOFIX system.
Attachment via the seat belt
The seat belt must be adjusted to
ensure that it is effective in the event of
harsh braking or an impact.
Ensure that the strap paths indicated
by the child seat manufacturer are re-
spected.
Always check that the seat belt is cor-
rectly fastened by pulling it up, then
pulling it out fully whilst pressing on the
child seat.
Check that the seat is correctly held by
moving it from side to side and back
to front: the seat should remain firmly
fixed.
Check that the child seat has not been
installed at an angle and that it is not
resting against a window.
Do not use the child seat
if it may unfasten the seat
belt restraining it: the base
of the seat must not rest on
the buckle and/or catch of the seat
belt.
The seat belt must never
be twisted or the tension
relieved. Never pass the
shoulder strap under the
arm or behind the back.
Check that the seat belt has not
been damaged by sharp edges.
If the seat belt does not operate nor-
mally, it will not protect the child.
Consult an approved dealer. Do not
use this seat until the seat belt has
been repaired.
No modifications may be
made to the component
parts of the restraint system
(seat belts, ISOFIX and
seats and their mountings) originally
fitted.
Attachment using the ISOFIX
system
Authorised ISOFIX child seats are ap-
proved in accordance with regulation
ECE-R44 in one of the three following
cases:
– ISOFIXuniversal 3-point forward-fac- ing seat;
– ISOFIXsemi-universal 2-point seat;
– specific.
For the latter two, check that your child
seat can be installed by consulting the
list of compatible vehicles.
Attach the child seat with the ISOFIX
locks, if these are provided. The ISOFIX
system allows quick, easy, safe fitting.
The ISOFIX system consists of 2 rings
and, in some cases, a third ring.Before using an ISOFIX
child seat that you pur-
chased for another vehicle,
check that its installation is
authorised. Consult the list of ve-
hicles which can be fitted with the
seat from the equipment manufac-
turer.

1.27
CHILD SAFETY: choosing a child seat mounting (2/3)
The two rings 1 are located between
the seatback and the seat base and are
identified by a marking. Use the access
guides 2 of the child seat to ease it into
place and lock it into the rings 1.
The third ring 3 or 5 is used to attach
the upper strap on some child seats.Rear seats
Remove the luggage compartment
cover to pass the belt 4 between the
seatback and the luggage compart-
ment cover (refer to the information on
the “Luggage compartment cover” in
Section 3).
4
The ISOFIX anchorage points have been exclusively designed for child sea\
ts with the ISOFIX system. Never fit a dif-
ferent type of child seat, seat belt or other objects to these anchorage\
points.
Check that nothing is obstructing the anchorage points.
If your vehicle has been involved in a road accident, have the ISOFIX an\
chorage points checked and replace your
child seat.

Fix the hook on the ring 5, identified by
the
 symbol on the back of the seat
in question and located under the boot
carpet.

1.28
Check that the seatback
of the forward-facing child
seat is in contact with the
seatback of the vehicle
seat. In this case, the child seat may
not always rest on the seat base of
the vehicle seat.

Front passenger seat
(depending on the vehicle)
Attach the belt hook 4 to the ring 3.
All seats
Pull the belt 3 so that the back of the
child seat comes into contact with the
back of the vehicle seat.

CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat, general information (1/2)
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 seat indicated may
not be available. Before using a differ-
ent child seat, check with the manufac-
turer that it can be fitted.
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.
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 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
installing a child seat on the
front passenger seat, check
that the airbag has been deacti-
vated (please refer to “Child safety:
front passenger airbag deactivation
and activation” 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.
