Manual adjustments

Head restraint

To raise or lower the head restraint, pull it forwards at the same
time as sliding it.
The adjustment is correct when the top edge of the head
restraint is at the same height as the top of the head.

To remove it, bring it to the high position. Lift the tab with the aid of a coin
and pull.

Backrest angle

Action the control rearwards and adjust the angle of the
backrest.
It is possible to recline the backrest to an angle of 45° by
tilting it until it locks. Press the control to unlock.

Seat height and rake adjustment

Lift the control and use the weight of your body to move the
seat to the desired position.

Reach

Lift the control bar and adjust to the desired position.

Access to the rear seat positions

To access the rear seat positions, action the control forwards
to fold the backrest and slide the front seat.
Afterwards the front seat will revert to its initial position.
Make sure that the seat is secured in place (particularly if the
rear seats are folded).

Heated seats

The front seats can be heated indi-
vidually. Use the controls located
at the side of the seats, and select
one of the three heating levels:
0: Off.
1: Slight heat.
2: Medium heat.

Foldable backrest

It can be folded either totally or partially.
Lower the head restraint against the backrest, then pivot control 3 towards the rear of the vehicle.
The backrest also has a vertical position to optimise the bootspace.
When you reposition the backrest, make sure that it locks in place.

Folded (fully-folded position)

To facilitate this manoeuvre, slide the front seat as far forward as possible, using the fore/aft slide
control.
Move the rear seat as far forward as possible using control 2, fold the backrest using control 3, then
lift control 4.

The seat goes automatically to the fully-folded position.
Reposition the front seat. The rear seat in the fully-folded position will adapt automatically to the position of the front
seat.
When restoring the seat to its original position, check that there is nothing obstructing the anchoring points to ensure
that it latches properly.

In the front passenger's seat position, it is imperative to deactivate the
front passenger's airbag if you are installing a "rear-facing" child seat

there. Otherwise the child risks being killed or seriously injured should

the airbag deploy.

In order to be able to use a rear-facing child seat in the front passenger's seat position, it is imperative to deactivate
the passenger's airbag.
For that:

With the ignition switched off, insert the key into the switch A.
Turn the key to the

"OFF" position, the passenger's airbag is deactivated.

The front passenger's airbag deactivation warning lamp, in the instrument panel, lights up when you switch on

ISOFIX anchoring points and

the ISOFIX fastening system

The rear seats of your vehicle are
equipped with ISOFIX anchoring
points. These consist of 2 rings
located between the backrest and
the vehicle seat, approx. 28 cm
apart.
ISOFIX child seats are equipped
with 2 latches which are eay to

attach to these rings. This fi xing

system is intended for children
weighing up to 18 kg.
Incorrect installation of a child seat
in a vehicle compromises protection
of the child in the event of a collision.
The ISOFIX system enables you to
minimise the risks posed by incorrect

fi tting. The ISOFIX fastening system

gives you a convenient, strong and

reliable fi tting for a child seat in your

vehicle.

The recommended ISOFIX child seat (1) for your vehicle is:
The ISOFIX RÖMER Duo Plus (1):

This child seat has been approved for children between 9 – 18 kg. It can
only be installed in the "forward-facing" position. The front seat must be
adjusted so that the child’s feet are not touching the backrest of the front
seat (slide the rear seat back as far as possible). The use of a top belt is not
necessary.
This child seat can also be installed in seat positions not fi tted with ISOFIX

anchoring points. In this case, it must be secured to the seat by means of
the vehicle seat belt.

(1): On the ISOFIX anchoring points of the vehicle, you can only attach the

ISOFIX child seat approved for this vehicle.

Child seats secured by
means of the vehicle seat
belt

In conformity with Directive 2003/20,
the table tells you to what extent
each of the seat positions in your
vehicle may take a child seat
that is secured by means of the
vehicle seat belt and approved
as "Universal" as a function of the
weight of the child.
Consult

"User

Precautions",

chapter on "Child Safety" at the
end of this handbook, in order
to ensure that you are installing
your child in conditions of maxi-
mum safety.
