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.
SEAT BELTS (1/3)
1
2
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 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: functions” in 
Section 3.

Power Assisted Steering
Never drive with an inadequately 
charged battery.
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 when ma-
noeuvring (for added comfort) while the 
force needed to steer increases pro-
gressively as the speed rises (for en-
hanced safety at high speeds).
Steering wheel height 
adjustment
Lower the lever 1 and place the steer-
ing wheel in the required position; raise 
the lever beyond the point of resistance 
to lock the steering wheel.
Make sure that the steering wheel is 
correctly locked.
For safety reasons, only 
adjust the steering wheel 
when the vehicle is station-
ary.
STEERING WHEEL/POWER-ASSISTED STEERING
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.
Never leave the steering wheel at 
full lock while stationary.
