FASTENING SYSTEM

Your vehicle is type-approved
according to new ISOFIX direc-
tives. The lateral rear seats of
your vehicle are each equipped
with regulation ISOFIX anchoring
points.
Incorrect installation of a child seat
in a vehicle compromises protec-
tion of the child in the event of a col-
lision. The ISOFIX system enables
you to minimise the risks posed by

incorrect fi tting. The ISOFIX fas-

tening system gives you a conven-

ient, strong and reliable fi tting for a

child seat in your vehicle.

system

The ISOFIX system features 3 rings
for each lateral rear seat position:

Two bottom rings a and b
located between the backrest
and the seat cushion. These

concealed in the case of a

benchseat under a fl ap with the

logo ISOFIX.
One top ring c

fi xed on the rear

shelf, concealed

Glass sun roof

The sun roof is operated by the
electrical control A.
An action to the fi rst notch of the

control starts a movement which
stops as soon as you release the
control.
An action to the second notch of
the control opens or closes the sun
roof fully. A further action stops the
movement.

ANTI-PINCH

An anti-pinch device is present to stop the sun roof from sliding shut. If it
meets an obstacle it slides in the opposite direction.
After a battery disconnection or if there has been a malfunction, you
have to re-initialise the anti-pinch function.
To do that, action the control A to the second notch to make the sun roof
open fully, then keep the control A pressed for at least 1 seconds.
Warning: During this manœuvre, the anti-pinch does not operate.

Your vehicle's sun roof has a manually-
operated blind.

Always remove the ignition key when leaving the vehicle, even
if for a short time.
In the event of anything being caught by the sun roof closing,
you must reverse the roof movement.

To do that, reverse the position of the control concerned.
When the driver is operating the sun roof, he or she must always
make sure that the passengers are not preventing it from closing
properly.
The driver must ensure that passengers use the sun roof control
correctly.
PAY ESPECIAL ATTENTION TO WHERE CHILDREN ARE WHEN
OPERATING THE SUN ROOF.
